Different questions have different fastest answers, and for an order question this site is not it.

About an order, a delivery or a return

Go through the account the order was placed in. Payment, delivery dates, damage in transit and returns all live with the order record, and any route that does not start there ends up being redirected back to it anyway.

That includes a missing piece from a set and a frame that arrived with cracked glass. Photographs of the item and the packaging, raised against the order, get a replacement moving faster than anything that could be passed on from here.

About a piece before you buy

Ask on the listing itself. Questions posted there reach us and are answered publicly, which means the answer stays visible for the next person asking the same thing, and it arrives attached to the exact size and color you were looking at rather than to a family of similar pieces.

If the question is whether a cover fits an insert you already own, or whether a basket will clear a shelf, the styling guide on this site will get you there faster than any answer we could give without seeing the room.

About this site

This site is our catalog, not a shop. It runs no checkout, holds no orders and keeps no accounts, which is why an order question is quicker asked where the order lives.

What this site can fix is itself. If something here is factually wrong — a size that does not match the listing, a fabric named incorrectly, a link pointing at the wrong color — that is worth flagging on the listing, and it will be corrected at the next build.

Where to write to us

The address below is our correspondence address in Houston, and it is the right one for anything that has to exist on paper or arrive in writing: a legal or trademark notice, a wholesale or press enquiry, a factual correction to this catalog.

It is a mail address and nothing else. There is no showroom behind that door, no stock room, no counter and no returns desk, so nobody there can hand you a cushion, take one back, or look up an order. Please do not travel to it — a visit cannot be received.

United StatesMail only — this is not a showroom, a warehouse or a returns address, and there is nobody here to receive visitors.

Returns never come here. An item posted to this address does not reach a returns team and cannot be refunded: a return has to go back through the order it was placed in, where the record, the payment and the shipping label already exist.

  • Privacy

    This site collects nothing about you. Not less than most sites — nothing, because none of the machinery that would collect it is here.

  • About AELS

    We make the layer that goes on top of the furniture: the pillow, the cover, the frame, the basket in the corner.
