Wardrobe with 3 Doors

We know the furniture business well and are more than just an online retailer. We have a dedicated in-house team that belong to the same company that imports our range of furniture on an exclusive basis. We work closely with our overseas factory to ensure the products we need in Australia are made to the quality standards our customers expect, the shipping lines to ensure we receive our stock on time, and our dedicated express carriers that complete the journey to your home.

Our business started 25 years ago when our co-founder left Melbourne to establish a life in South East Asia.

Having worked with the design and production team in the factory to export the range to Euopean markets, we quickly wanted to establish the range in Australia. And so began the process to relocate back to Melbourne in 2013 and start importing and supplying the Halifax range of furniture to Australian households.

Since then, we have shared our passion of home décor, inspired by the Hamptons, with so many of our customers. This passion is being seen through ranges of hand made home accessories, which are being made by Indonesian artisans exclusively for our range of home accesories.

The team at iwannagohome are continuing the journey that we started, constantly evolving fresh ideas and carefully curating ranges of furniture and home décor.

We invite you to be part of our journey too ...

PRODUCT INFORMATION

• Design & Inspiration

Our designs are inspired by creating functional and decorative interior furnishings for the contemporary household. Whether for single living or family life, our designs fulfill the needs of both. We strive to produce timeless and long-lasting products that enhance the quality of peace and comfort within your home.

Our creations combine classic lines with a contemporary edge to effortlessly blend into your living space, complimenting your unique style choices with ease and comfort. The simplicity of our designs evoke a natural elegance in all settings and reflect a craftsmanship infused with charm.

Initial designs begin with identifying a need or an augmentation and working out from there. Starting with a simple sketch, an approved design leads to a physical product sample. The sample is tested for functionality, durability and its visual appeal. Approved samples move through to the manufacturing process, where each product is held to a sequence of quality control standards throughout its production.

• Material Procurement

All wood materials used in the production of our furniture are sourced from the island of Java, Indonesia. To comply with our ethical procurement policy, all hardwood materials are SVLK (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu) certified. SVLK is an internationally recognized verification system that ensures the timber used in the production and export of wooden products is legally sourced from sustainable plantations; it is overseen by the department of forestry in Indonesia.

The rattan material used in the weaving of our chairs and rattan accessories is carefully selected to ensure the aging of the material is as natural and pure as possible. We use two varieties of this renewable resource: kubu rattan, a thicker variety; and split rattan, a thinner and more malleable variety.

• Carpentry

The manufacturing of our products is considered to be a “semi-machine” process. The majority of our furniture is built with a kiln-dried solid mahogany frame and composite wood (MDF) paneling. The wood is treated with a wood protectant before the kiln dry treatment. Following a standard design template, wooden materials are sawed and planed to the necessary thicknesses and lengths required for each component’s design using modern machinery. Components are then moulded and grooved according to their specifications. Jointing follows and upon completion, the components proceed to assembly. MDF components are primed with a coat of paint along their exterior surfaces prior to assembly.

As for our rattan products, the rattan is hand-woven around a solid wood frame. Depending on the intended color of the rattan, it is either treated before or after the weaving process.

• Assembly

Our products are hand assembled by skilled craftsmen. The majority of our furniture is assembled through the mortise and tenon joinery technique, while our beds and drawers are joined through a french dovetail technique.

Small gaps at joints are left intentionally during assembly to allow for natural shrinkage and expansion of the wood materials.

The result is a fully assembled product, with the exception of hutch units, tables & beds, which require minimal assembly upon arrival to your business or home.

• Finishing

Upon assembly, the product is cleaned to remove excess glue or debris then it is sanded with a hand-held machine and lastly by hand with fine sandpaper. During the finishing process, the surfaces of the products are painted and/or stained and distressed based on their intended collection’s design. After the finish has been applied, the products air dry over the course of two to three days in a designated clean and well-ventilated area of the facility to allow for optimal drying conditions.

Our materials are carefully selected and combined in our designs to produce a long lasting durable product to be enjoyed for years to come. As such the finish may appear slightly different depending on the natural characteristics of the underlying materials surface and orientation. While all surfaces have some degree of finishing to increase the products’ resistance to moisture, only the visible and usable surfaces of the product are finished to the agreed quality control standard.

All of our products are hand finished by skilled craftsmen. This personal touch, combined with the natural characteristics of the materials used, creates a unique product that is truly one of a kind. Slight variations in finish are to be expected, and are not considered product defects.

• Quality Control

Quality inspection and assessment is performed throughout each phase of the production process. At the final step before packaging, the finished product is compared to a previously approved master sample to ensure visual and functional compliance. If an item fails to conform to the quality standards, it is returned to the respective preceding step in the process to be modified then checked again until it passes the quality control.

The assessment procedure includes measuring the dimensions of each product, verifying the moisture content level is within the appropriate range, checking product balance and stability on a level surface, testing functionality of all moving components and respective hardware, checking the finishing of each product in natural daylight, ensuring the proper application of any safety labels (if necessary), ensuring the inclusion of anti-tip kits (if necessary), ensuring the inclusion of required hardware for assembly and the assembly instructions, and finally the product warranty, disclaimer and care instructions.

Additionally, each year the paint products used in our finishes are subject to a 3rd party quality control assessment, completed by PT TUV Rheinland, a private organization in the field of testing, inspecting and certification services and a member of TUV Rheinland Group headquartered in Cologne, Germany.

Our products do not require California Proposition 65 warning labels. For more information, go to www.p65warnings.ca.gov/.

• Packaging

After successfully passing the product conformity quality check, the product is ready for packing. Product surfaces are lined with foam wrap and secured with tape. All corners and edges are protected with contoured styrofoam bricks and taped in place. Doors and drawers are foam wrapped, closed and secured with styrofoam or cardboard to prevent them from opening during transport. Finally, the units are carefully placed and immobilized in their custom-sized triple craft overlapping carton boxes, which identify their orientation for proper handling. Silica gel sachets are included in each box to control moisture levels.

Our team will run final checks on the packed product and packaging to ensure items are protected from potential abrasion and damage that can occur during transport. This check also includes ensuring the box label matches the item and quantity of the boxes contents, and if necessary that any additional shipping instructions are clearly labelled (e.g. box 1 of 2).

• Shipment & Storage

When a product order is received, the warehouse staff prepare the shipment, which can involve palletizing, strapping & stretch wrapping. The order is then transferred to the delivery agent to be shipped to the customer’s business or home.

The request is based on courier availability and payment of this service.

Delivery Times

Typically, items listed on the website will be dispatched from our warehouse between 24 to 72 hours. From time to time the delivery of specific items will exceed our usual stated delivery window for reasons outside our control or due to the workload on our delivery partners.

We work hard to process all orders as quickly as possible and we will send you an email to let you know when your item has been dispatched by us or if we anticipate delays.


Delivery Methods & Locations

We work with a number of delivery partners and courier companies in order to deliver nationwide. Your order will be delivered to the delivery address provided by you during the checkout process or as updated through our Customer Care team after your order is finalised.

Delivery is to a ground floor; if the delivery is in a multi-story building the delivery company will not travel past the ground floor front door.

For larger high value items, we may be able to offer alternate delivery service, however this is not available for all items and all areas. Our customer care team can confirm if this is available to your order and area, applicable fees and charges will apply for this service.

We cannot deliver to PO boxes or Parcel Lockers because they're usually too small to accept most of the items we sell. Most of our goods are delivered by courier or specialist furniture carrier directly to your door and require a signature upon delivery.

Our delivery partner may leave a card at the address and you will need to pick up the delivery from an Australia Post outlet or contact the courier company to arrange for redelivery.

We reserve the right to refuse delivery to specific locations for items we deem at high risk of loss or damage, and also areas that are inaccessible with standard courier and delivery services. In this case, you may choose to have an item delivered using your own couriers, in which case all insurance for loss or damage to the order caused by the delivery will be your responsibility.

Delivery of Large, Heavy or Fragile items

Items that are large, heavy or fragile and require the specialist skill and care will be delivered by one of our contracted specialist carrier partners.

You will be contacted prior to delivery to confirm a delivery day. If the proposed day is not suitable, please contact our delivery partner to arrange an alternative delivery date.

The delivery team are able to go up two flights of stairs and deliver your item into the room of your choice subject to any indemnity policies to enter your premises that our carrier partner’s may require. In the event that you do not agree to the indemnity policy that the carrier may require you to sign, then you agree to accept delivery of your order to the front door of your premises.

Goods can be delivered higher than two flights of stairs if there is access to a lift that can be used for deliveries and the lift has sufficient space/capacity to carry the goods safely without the risk of damaging the lift or the goods.

We kindly request that you clear the way for our team prior to delivery to ensure they have unobstructed access to complete your delivery quickly and safely.

Delivery will usually occur Monday to Friday (8am to 5pm) but could occur outside of these hours. The carrier will do their best to keep you informed along the way as to when your delivery will arrive.

First-time delivery

If you can’t be home to receive your delivery, we encourage you to authorise couriers to leave parcels in a safe place out of the weather. Authorising couriers to leave parcels in a safe place, is known as an “Authority to Leave” (ATL). You can provide this instruction during checkout.

This will allow you to receive your goods first-time and avoid the hassle of missed deliveries and re-deliveries.

If you prefer not to allow us to leave your delivery in a safe place, we will require authorisation on delivery. Due to contactless delivery polices that may be in place from time to time, the delivery team will ask for your name and sign on your behalf.

Multiple shipments

If your order includes multiple items, we may ship your items separately, at no additional cost to you, to ensure your products reach you as quickly as possible.

Delivery Failure

We also require a contact phone number, which may be used by the courier to arrange delivery. If we and our delivery partner have been unable to deliver your order due to your error or fault after 21 days or 2 attempts (whichever is sooner), we reserve the right to cancel your order. In these circumstances we will refund you the price of your order, less the delivery and handling fees incurred by us.
