Where are your products made?
-
Some stock pieces and most custom-made pieces are made right here in our Cincinnati warehouse, but the majority of products are produced by a wide network of local Ohio craftsmen and fabricators including some Amish furniture makers.
Do you customize? Yes!
If none of our stock powder-coat colors work for you, we'd be happy to match a particular color you are interested in. We don't charge extra for this service, but be sure to follow our Custom Powder-coat Color Guide.
We can customize any of our products to fit your space. Please send us an email to info@tronkdesign.com to discuss your unique needs.
We also provide custom design and custom manufacturing services for our design customers where we can create a completely custom piece for your project (i.e. conference desks, reception desks). Minimum quantities may apply. See more information on our Custom page.
Items that are custom made are considered a final sale.
Are your products durable and/or environmentally friendly?
We use a third-party testing facility and adhere to ANSI/BIFMA commercial standards
We are committed to sustainability by making non-disposable furniture that is built to last a lifetime or more. We use FSC certified woods, water-based adhesives, wood stains and top coats as well as no plastic and we are PVC-free. Tronk utilizes recycled raw materials and the majority of our packaging is recyclable which can reduce landfill disposal. Our products are designed to be cleaned with low environmental impact (water-based) cleaning fluids and we have a substantially lower carbon footprint than most competitors since most of our products are made right here in Ohio with Midwest-sourced materials.

What to expect during a freight (LTL) delivery?
Freight or LTL deliveries are usually used for a very large shipments that cannot go regular parcel (aka UPS or Fedex). This is not your average delivery! Don't expect a guy in shorts to ring your doorbell and leave a package at your doorstep. Freight shipments have a protocol to follow and require preparation.
You will receive a PRO or tracking # so you can monitor when the shipment will arrive at the destination warehouse. From here, the freight company will call to set up a delivery appointment which are usually Monday to Friday during business hours only. During this call, let the appointment clerk know of anything that may hinder a 53 foot tractor trailer from entering or exiting your neighborhood.
The shipment will be delivered curbside, so be prepared to bring the items into your home on your own, unless you have upgraded the white glove delivery where items are brought inside for you.
Inspect the shipment before you sign the delivery receipt. Look for the following signs of damage to include, but not limited to, missing shrink wrap, crushed corners, dents, gouges, tears and stains. Open each box that has signs of damage to inspect the contents. The driver is expected to wait until you are done inspecting everything.
Note overages, shortages & damages on the Delivery Receipt and then sign it. This is the most important step! Check each handling unit for indications of damages (missing shrink wrap, broken strapping, crushed corners, dented, ripped or torn cartons etc.) and suspicious markings. Check for missing boxes or extra boxes by counting each handling unit and checking labels; they should match the delivery receipt. Open any handling unit that shows signs of loss or damage while the driver is present. Note all damages, overages and shortages on both copies of the delivery receipt. If the driver does not allow you to open each handling unit, write "driver refused inspection for concealed damage" on the delivery receipt in addition to the visible signs of damage to the packaging. Failure to note the delivery receipt will put you at a potential loss.
Notify us immediately (info@tronkdesign.com) if there are any damages noted in the Delivery receipt or concealed damages you found after. Please provide as many images as you can. We need to report these to the freight company within 3 days of delivery.
Store all damaged materials & packing materials. During the claims process, make every attempt to leave the containers and packing materials as they were when you first discovered the loss or damage.

-
We accept returns within 30 days for regular stock products. However, made-to-order products are not returnable (sLEDz Lighting, Chapman Storage, Gallagher Lounge Chair).

Items must be in original condition when they arrive back at our warehouse in order to receive a refund.

Ultimately, we want everyone to be happy with their Tronk products, so we are very willing to work with our customers.
All furniture needs a little love from time to time to keep it looking fresh and young. Maintenance should be performed periodically to extend the life of the piece. Here are some tips and tricks:
Currently, we only offer indoor furniture so prevent from exposing to heavy sun and water for long periods of time.
Please note that wood does naturally expand and contract, so please store in climate-controlled and low humidity environment.
We understand that knocks or bumps may happen that can cause chipping or scratching, but please seal or apply touch-up paint to prevent metal from rusting.
Please keep extremely hot or cold items from touching the wood directly as it may leave rings or marks. We use a lacquer finish on our wood to help this from happening, but coaster should be used at all times.
Try using additional glides or feet to protect the furniture legs/feet as well as floor surfaces.
- Periodically tighten screws used for assembly (once or twice a year).
Cleaning: wipe the furniture with a wet cloth then wipe it dry so no water is left sitting. Aside from water, we recommend using furniture polish from time to time to clean your piece and for glass parts you may use glass cleaner. Do not use any other cleaning product/detergent as it can remove the finish. Stay away from scrubbing sponges or pads as they may scratch the surfaces or remove the finish.
