UPHOLSTERY MATERIALS2020-04-13T14:39:32-05:00

It is the customers’ and/or specifiers’ responsibility to advise M. Deitz and Sons, Inc. of any and all limitations of the application the materials that are to be used on the furniture being ordered. This is includes, but is not limited to pleating, folding, direction, sewing methods, etc. This also pertains to all materials that have been specified and M. Deitz and Sons, Inc. is required to acquire. Without specific application information we will not be responsible for any current or future problems that may occur with the material. This limitation will also

Upholstered Backs2020-04-13T14:39:18-05:00

Certain items that have upholstered backrests, etc. are done by installing the upholstery with nails through the face of the material. Items that require this nailing process include any woven fabric up to Grade #6 at no additional charge. Fabrics will diminish the appearance of pin holes left by the nailing process. M. Deitz and Sons, Inc. will not use a vinyl for these items as the pinholes will be apparent. If a vinyl is required for the upholstery our nail trim or double welting options will need to be ordered. Consult the specific item for the cost (if any) to have these options applied.

Terms2020-04-13T13:09:03-05:00

Terms are strict net 30 days after credit has been established. All initial orders are to be paid for in full in ad- vance of shipment or pickup even if a request to establish credit terms has been submitted. Orders placed that are COD or CIA require a 50% deposit to be submitted before any materials are put into production. The remaining balance is due in advance of shipment. Balances and COD’s must be paid in cashiers check, certi- fied check, money order or wire transfer. If a regular check is presented for prepayment, the check must be allowed to clear our bank before any merchandise is released. Deposits may be required for custom work and non-stock items regardless of credit standing. Any account with balances that are beyond the 30 day credit period may have current orders delayed in processing and shipment. Any open account customer with a balance beyond 50 days of billing date will automatically loose their credit standing, and be required to pay for all subsequent orders in advance. All payments are to be made in US dollars. Checks returned for any reason will incur a $30.00 net processing charge. M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. reserves the right to alter or eliminate credit terms at its discretion, at any time, without recourse.

Tariffs2020-04-13T13:11:43-05:00

Tariffs that have be placed on imported products by the United States Government are an additional cost that IS NOT included in the prices listed in this Workbook. Since the tariffs are temporary, vary in size and do not apply to all of our products it is recommended to contact customer service in advance of placing an order. Products that do have tariffs associated with them will be invoiced at normal net cost. An additional line will appear on the invoice listing the tariff and the total amount we are required to collect.

Specifications2020-04-13T13:13:49-05:00

Specifications listed in this Workbook/Price List, as well as our catalog and web site supersede all other previ- ously listed specifications. M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. shall not be liable for typographical errors in any printed/digital literature, quotation, on any correspondence directly from the factory or from our agents or on our web site. Typographical errors are to include dimensions, costs, weights, enhancements, etc. Weights in this workbook are for carton/packaged items and listed in pounds. All dimensions are in inches and have tol- erances of +/- 1”. The factory reserves the right to make changes, at any time, without notice, in materials, dimensions, specifications, colors, designs, etc. without obligation to make the revisions or modifications to products fabricated at a previous time. Customers desiring any enhancements or new revisions can contact the factory for the costs to implement the changes. The maximum table top size recommended for a table pedestal is based on the top not weighing more than 4.5 lbs. per square foot. It is suggested that customer service is contacted to recommend a pedestal that would be suited to support table tops that weigh more.

Shipments2020-04-13T13:46:32-05:00

All shipments are FOB our factories and warehouses, unless otherwise specified. Unless a preferential car- rier is named merchandise will be shipped “Best Way”. We take no responsibility for variances for freight rates, classifications, charges, or delays in transit. The factory’s responsibility ceases when merchandise is received by the carrier in good order. Any damages should be marked on the bill of lading at time of delivery. Our shipping cartons are also printed with this information and clearly spell out these necessary procedures. Failure to sign the bill of lading properly will hinder the possibility of being compensated by the trucking com- pany for any loss or damage. All items should also be inspected within 24 hours of receipt for concealed damage, shortages and correctness of order. If damages have occurred, contact the delivering carrier and save all original cartons and packaging material for the carrier’s inspection. All claims for damages or short- ages must be filed immediately with the delivering carrier. It is the customer’s responsibility to file any freight claim. All shortages must be reported to the factory within 48 hours of receiving the merchandise even if the bill of lading was marked accordingly. We will assist in any way possible to help process and expedite a claim. Under no circumstances should a deduction be made from our invoice to compensate for any prob- lems incurred by a shipping company. Any open account customer requesting freight charges “Prepay and Add” will incur an additional charge of 10% of the freight costs. This fee is to cover the processing of paper- work submitted by the freight carrier. Third party billing instructions will only be honored for customers with open account status. All other accounts will have to pay for freight charges in advance or have orders shipped freight collect. We do not feel UPS or any other parcel services are a suitable means of shipping our merchandise. Please note, customers requesting UPS or other parcel services, when that service is avail- able, the items will ship at a “dimensional” weight, and may even incur an additional oversized package charge. This means regardless of the package contents, value or weight, the parcel services will take the cu- bic dimensions of the carton, use a formula, and calculate the dimensional weight. For example, a 15 lbs. chair may ship at a dimensional weight of 90lbs. due to the size of the carton. If needed, contact customer service for the carton dimensions for an item, if it must ship with a parcel service. Expedited shipping service, next day air, second day air, etc. are the sole responsibility of the customer. M. Deitz & Sons, Inc will not in- cur this type of charge. If you require this type of shipping service, the arrangements must be made by the customer/consignee and the factory is to be notified of the method of shipment.

Seat Height2020-04-13T14:40:43-05:00

Unless otherwise noted, the seat height will be 18” to 19” on all chairs, and 29” to 31” on all bar and perma- nent mount counter stools. M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. calculates the seat height on upholstered items with some compression in the seat cushion. Altered heights, taller or shorter than standard, may be available on se- lected items. Please consult the price list or customer service with your specific request.

Samples2020-04-13T13:48:04-05:00

Samples are available for current customers. Samples must be ordered by formal purchase order and are to be paid for. Generic samples that are produced and returned in saleable condition within 30 days will be credited in full. The corresponding shipping charges from the factory to the customer and the return charges are the responsibility of the ordering party. The factory is willing to produce 1 exact sample (when possible) with the hopes that it becomes part of a larger order. Items fabricated to exact specifications for specific jobs and/or bids are not returnable and must be paid for in full. Special pricing and allowances are available for showroom or trade show booths. Pricing is to be discussed with your local sales representative or the factory in advance. All freight charges related to samples are the responsibility of the customer.

Returns2020-04-13T13:48:49-05:00

The factory will inspect warranty items for repair or replacement only with prior written authorization. All items shipped back to the factory must be done on a prepaid basis only. Any item shipped to the factory freight col- lect will be refused. Requests to return merchandise for reasons other than warranty inspection will be re- viewed as to the nature and scope of the return. Not all items will be eligible for return. Items that are ac- cepted for return will incur a restocking charge of no less than 20%. The restocking charge will depend on the nature of the item and the amount of customization and upholstery involved, if any. Customers will also be required to pay for all inbound and outbound shipping charges. Merchandise that had been used or put into service for any length of time is non-returnable unless approved by M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. in advance. Custom, altered and non-stock items are not returnable.

Quotes/Pricing2020-04-13T13:09:30-05:00

All written quotes directly from the factory are valid for 30 days unless otherwise noted. Pricing is subject to change without notice. All prices in this work book are list prices/suggested retail and FOB factory.

Product Enhancements2020-04-13T14:37:27-05:00

M. Deitz & Son, Inc. is constantly looking at new ways to enhance and strengthen the products we manufacture and sell. Additional bracing, bolting, etc., is available above and beyond standard construction on our wood furniture. Below is a short list of additional features and charges for enhancements to our furniture. If your customer has a specific request not listed below feel free contact customer service for a quote.

  • 1” x 1” L steel brackets (wood chairs and stools)  = $1.50 list/pair
  • 1 3/8” x 1 3/8” steel corner brackets (wood chairs and stools = $2.50 list/pair
  • ¼” x 20 steel carriage bolts in place of standard lag bolt = $15.00 list/pair
  • Webbed seats on wood and metal furniture = Consult specific item in price list
Placing Orders2020-04-13T13:08:38-05:00

Phone orders will not be accepted. All purchase orders must be made in writing and mailed, faxed or E- mailed to our offices. If faxed or e-mailed copies are followed by a mailed copy, the mailed copy must specify that it is a “confirming” order and not to be duplicated. All orders must indicate the exact model number, quantity, finish, upholstery material(s), pricing, etc. Written order confirmations will be faxed or e-mail back with all pertinent information as well as an approximate ship date. THIS DATE IS ONLY AN ESTIMATE AND IS NOT BINDNG. M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. cannot be held liable for any order shipped beyond our estimated date. If an exact date of shipment or arrival is needed, this must be clearly spelled out on the purchase order. Our confirmation will then specify the exact ship or arrival date or the earliest possible date that we could meet. Exact arrival dates may incur additional charges assessed by the transportation company being used. M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. will not be responsible for mistakes in any order where information is missing or de- leted. We will also not be responsible for orders delayed in processing due to missing information. For ex- ample an order specifying “grade #5 Forest Green upholstery” is incomplete because it does not specify which particular grade #5 pattern is to be used.

PALLETIZING OF SHIPMENTS2020-04-13T13:47:21-05:00

Many trucking companies will no longer take loose cartons and require that all merchandise is shrink wrapped on pallets. When specifying a preferential trucking company we are to ship with, it is the customers responsibility to notify the factory if the trucking company will accept loose cartons or if the shipment must be made on pallets. Palletizing shipments will increase the overall weight of the shipment and may change the classification of the product on them. There will be an additional charge of $20.00 net for each pallet needed to pack- age a shipment. It is recommended to contact customer service in advance of placing an order if these charges apply.

NAIL TRIM SEATS2020-04-13T14:45:40-05:00

Upholstered seat panels in many cases can have decorative nail trim follow the perimeter of the horizontal portion of the seat. This method is less expensive than having a cobbler seat applied to a product.  Consult the specific item in the price list or contact the factory with your request.

Minimum Order2020-04-13T13:15:52-05:00

Items in our price list are based on the following minimums (unless otherwise noted):

  • – 10 chairs of 1 style, finish, etc.
  • – 10 bar stools of 1 style, finish, etc.
  • – 10 table bases of 1 style and finish
  • – 10 counter stools of 1 style, finish, height, etc.

Orders that do not meet minimum are subject to a surcharge of no less than 10%, or may not be accepted at all.

Material Grading2020-04-13T14:38:03-05:00

M. Deitz & Sons, Inc bases the grades of the vinyl and fabrics shown on our web site and on our fabric ven- dors sites on several criteria – cost, pattern, workability of the material, yield, as well as several other factors. Grading of materials is not always consistent and varies between manufacturers. It is suggested that a cus- tomer requesting a material shown by another vendor contact customer service for exact pricing or grading on that particular piece of material. M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. will not always honor pricing for a material shown by a competitor at that vendor’s grade.

Matching Orders2020-04-13T13:48:18-05:00

Current orders that require matching previous merchandise/shipments must indicate on the purchase order “Matching Order”. Purchase orders should specify the date and invoice number of the order we are to match. M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. will make every attempt to match previously shipped merchandise. Due to revised specifications, discontinuation of materials, etc. matching a pre-existing order is not always possible.

Maintenance2020-04-13T13:49:05-05:00

To insure durability and proper use of the products, routine periodic inspection must be made. Inspection should cover all joints, corner blocks, stress points, welded areas, glides, etc. Loosened screws should be tightened. Areas that are welded should be inspected for fatigue. Items that show defects or appear unstable should be taken out of service immediately. Failure to properly maintain the product(s) may void the war- ranty.

Freight Quotes2020-04-13T13:46:11-05:00

All written freight quotes from M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. are valid for 30 days unless otherwise noted. Freight can be quoted as a separate item or will appear as a separate line item on our acknowledgement. Standard freight quotes are based on shipments going from our location to a commercial establishment with a loading dock. Freight charges will vary based on the unloading capabilities at the location, access to the location, time of delivery, help at the location, type of facility (school, government installation, country club, restaurant, health care facility, hospital, etc.). All this pertinent information should be presented to customer service when asking for a freight rate. Additional services such as inside delivery, delivering at a specific time or on a specific date, lift gate, un-cartoning, calling for a delivery appointment, carrier inspection, security inspection, border inspection, etc. will incur additional charges and should be noted when asking for a freight rate. Unless requested at the time of the quote, these services are not included in the quote. M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. reserves the right to bill our customers for any and all extra charges assessed by the freight companies for additional services required/rendered that were not requested prior to quoting the freight charges. Orders that have shipped and been requested to be held at a trucking company’s facility, or re-consigned by our cus- tomer or the consignee will be subject to additional charges above and beyond the original freight quote. The charges will be based on the terms, conditions, and costs associated with the particular shipping company used.

FOOTREST PROTECTORS2020-04-13T14:41:38-05:00

Metal protectors are available on many of our wood bar stools with flat footrests. This feature is standard on certain items and as an option on others.

Satin chrome and black protectors are also available at no additional charge. Please specify on the order which protector is to be applied. Footrest protectors are metal with a decorative finish.

Fire Rating and Code Compliance2020-04-13T13:45:49-05:00

M. Deitz and Sons, Inc. makes no claims that any standard product sold, will pass or comply with any specific fire code or ordinance beyond code Cal. #117 and Boston Code #117/2013. It is the customer’s responsibil- ity to contact local officials to determine what, if any, fire codes the furniture being purchased must pass. We have the ability to fabricate upholstery and certain frames to meet most fire code requirements. Please con- sult the factory in advance with your fire retardant specifications to find out the additional costs (if any) to have furniture made to the specific codes. In special situations, certification must be presented to show that the product meets certain burn test criteria. M. Deitz & Sons Inc. has had several items tested and they have complied with some of the most stringent fire codes. The tests conducted are for “generic” items and can only be used on a “comparable” basis. It is the customer’s responsibility to see if the local fire authorities will accept our test for “comparable” items. If not, then a test must be ordered and conducted on an exact item. The additional cost associated with a burn test can be quoted upon request. The cost of the test, a sample product and all transportation costs would be incurred by the customer. M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. will not take back merchandise that is refused by any official for lack of documentation, certification, etc. if it is not re- quested prior to the fabrication of an order. The factory also will not incur any additional costs to make exist- ing furniture code compliant if we were not notified of the requirements in advance of production. M. Deitz & Sons Inc. will also not take responsibility for any items fabricated with COM or customer specified materials that have not been sent out for an appropriate burn test. It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure the material being sent or specified will pass the appropriate tests when used with suitable components.

Expedited Orders2020-04-13T14:40:03-05:00

M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. has the ability (when possible) to expedite customer’s orders that are required in ad- vance of scheduled production time. The charge to expedite an order will be no less than 10% of the net cost of the order. This charge may increase depending upon the availability of raw materials, fabrics, etc. and the flexibility of current production schedules. Please contact the factory with your specific request for an accu- rate quote. Expedited orders once complete CANNOT be held or delayed for any length of time. Expedited orders that are not picked up or shipped, at no fault of M. Deitz and Sons, Inc. will be invoiced and storage charges will start to accrue immediately from the date that the merchandise was completed.

Discontinued Items2020-04-13T13:47:48-05:00

Customer’s Own Material (COM’s)2020-04-13T14:38:17-05:00

COM’s are accepted at Grade #3 pricing. The factory has the right to add a 15%-20% charge to COM’s for patterned, striped, directional, or material that is difficult to work with. This includes solid colored materials that are to be run in a single direction ie: velour, faux suede, mico-suede, Mohair, etc. Specific, written in- structions need to be provided on the order if pattern matching is required. COM’s should be clearly labeled when forwarded to the factory. No material will be accepted COD or freight collect. A sample of the fabric should be sent with the order stating the supplier, pattern name, yardage supplied, face of the material, and the direction (if necessary) the material should run on the furniture. If specific information about the applica- tion of COM material is not provided, M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. will apply the material in the way it deems proper, and will not be held liable for incorrect installation. This includes the use of Polyurethane materials. It is suggested that the manufacturer of the material(s) being provided as COM be contacted in advance to find out the limitations or requirements for application. COM requirements listed in our literature are based on upholstering 1 piece of furniture. Larger orders generally will require less material. It is advisable to contact the factory in advance for exact yardage requirements. All COM amounts are based on 54” wide usable ma- terial. Narrower widths, patterned, directional or striped materials will require additional yardage. M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. reserves the right to refuse the use of any COM due to inadequate quality, workability, stretch or pattern. Any furniture upholstered with a COM is considered a custom item and is not returnable once shipped.

CUSTOMER’S OWN LEATHER—COL2020-04-13T14:38:48-05:00

There will be a 15% up-charge to apply leather to any standard pull over or nail trim seat. Any product with a fully wrapped seat, upholstered backrest or any item that needs the leather to be sewn will be quoted upon request. It is recommended that an adequate sized sample of the leather be provided in advance of placing an order. First, to make sure that it can be applied to the item(s) being ordered, and what the additional up- charge will be assessed.

Custom orders cannot be canceled or changed once they have been started. Custom orders cannot be re- turned for any reason once they have been shipped. Deposits may be required on custom work regardless of credit status. Custom merchandise includes any items upholstered with a COM.

COBBLER SEATS2020-04-13T14:47:24-05:00

Nail trim cobbler seats are available on certain chairs and bar stools. The upholstery will be applied to the existing finished veneer, wood or saddle seat. Consult the specific item in the price list or contact the factory with your request. Cobbler seats are available in 3 different styles:

  • Bentwood  – Decorative nails are applied into the veneer portion of the bentwood seating. The wood beading around the veneer will remain exposed.
  • Perimeter – There is a 1 ½” to 2” wood border around the upholstery on the horizontal portion of the seat.
  • Waterfall – There is a 1 ½” to 2” wood border around the upholstery on the horizontal portion of 2 sides and rear of the seat.

The nail trim will follow the material on 3 sides and down the front of the seat.
Carriage Bolt Construction2020-04-13T14:37:44-05:00

Carriage bolt construction is standard on many wood chairs and bar stools and is available as an option on most other items. Standard lag bolts are removed and a carriage bolt is installed from the outside of the back leg, through the seat rim. This method of construction adds strength and longevity to the product. Carriage bolts are available in brass, chrome, black and statuary bronze finishes. Brass plated bolts are standard, but M. Deitz and Sons, Inc. will use at its discretion the bolt color that we feel will be appropriate unless a specific color of bolt is requested on the purchase order.

Cancellations2020-04-13T13:49:21-05:00

Once a customer has forwarded a purchase order to the factory it is considered a firm order. Orders cannot be canceled or changed without written authorization from M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. Orders in progress that need to be changed or canceled are subject to a charge not to exceed 50% of the item’s net price. The charge will be determined by the amount of goods and raw materials that have been ordered/put into process to manu- facture the job. Custom orders and orders that are complete CAN NOT be canceled. Please contact the fac- tory immediately, to determine the charge, if any, for cancellation of an order.

ARM STYLE AND ARM HEIGHTS2020-04-13T14:40:25-05:00

The heights listed for arms in this Workbook and the styles shown in our literature and our web site are sub- ject to variation. Table top and bar top thickness, skirting, or custom height table bases may all be factors that will limit an arm chair or bar stools use. It is the customers responsibility to advise us in advance of pro- duction if the height of the arm is a crucial factor in fitting under a table or bar top. At that time we will con- firm that the style and overall height of the arm will meet the criteria to clear the item it is being used with.

Appropriate Selection of A Product2020-04-13T14:41:02-05:00

M. Deitz & Sons, Inc. is a firm believer that some products are better suited for a particular situation than oth- ers. Even though all of the products we sell are made for commercial use there are times where one product may suit an application better than another. Placing a product in a location that is not appropriate may have a bearing on its usefulness and longevity. If there are any questions whether the product being selected is suit- able for a project please contact customer service in advance of placing an order. We will be glad to assist in recommending a better suited product or make suggestions how the existing specified product could be al- tered or strengthened. Our warranty may be voided on furniture placed in an environment where it was obvi- ously incorrectly specified or if another product or products would have been better suited. M. Deitz and Sons, Inc. product’s are produced for the contract market. Anyone wishing to place our product into the resi- dential market must understand the differences between the two. The first priority for contract products is construction. Our furniture is built to hold up and withstand the physical stresses in high traffic restaurants, schools, institutions, cafes, hotels, etc. Residential furniture, on the other hand is made with aesthetics as the first priority. People that are purchasing commercial furniture for their home should be made aware of these facts.
