Select purchases and out-of-stock items may be modified within 24 hours of purchase for an exchange or re-selection. To request a change, please contact us by phone at (608) 212-2818 or email hello@brownandbeam.com

Custom, made-to-order, and direct-ship items cannot be changed, canceled, or returned once production has begun.

What is your return and exchange policy?

Original receipts are required for all returns and exchanges. Items must be in like-new, resalable condition and are subject to inspection.

Regular-priced merchandise may be exchanged within 5 days of receipt or delivery for store credit only. Shipping and delivery fees are non-refundable.

Clearance items, floor samples, floor models, and final sale items are sold as is and are not eligible for return or exchange.

Please confirm all measurements and access points prior to purchase. We are unable to accept returns for items that do not fit. In some cases, store credit may be issued minus applicable delivery or restocking fees.

How do I know if an item is in stock?

We do our best to keep website availability accurate, though occasional discrepancies may occur. Items marked Available In Store, Pick-Up or Local Delivery are either in our warehouse or en route.

Some items may be available for purchase but are backordered or ship directly from the manufacturer. If this applies to your order, we will contact you within 3 business days with an estimated timeline and any relevant tracking details.

If timing is important, we encourage you to inquire before purchasing at hello@brownandbeam.com

Are all products available online?

While we strive to represent our full assortment online, some one-of-a-kind pieces, limited production items, custom furnishings, and seasonal selections may only be available in person.

All items must be scheduled in advance for warehouse pick-up in Middleton, WI. Please contact us if you are looking for something specific.

I saw an item in store but cannot find it online. How do I order it?

We are happy to help place your order. Please call (608) 212-2818 for assistance.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, and Brown & Beam gift cards. American Express is not accepted.

What are the delivery timelines for custom or special orders?

Custom upholstery items such as sofas, sectionals, and chairs typically require 8 to 10 weeks for production and shipment, though timelines may vary due to material or labor availability.

Special orders that are in stock with the manufacturer generally arrive within 2 to 4 weeks. Delivery dates are estimates and cannot be guaranteed.

If your order is time sensitive, please confirm availability and timelines prior to purchase.

Are sold out items available to order?

Some sold out items may still be available through special order or may be on backorder. Availability varies by manufacturer and product.

Please email hello@brownandbeam.com for the most accurate information.

I selected pick-up at checkout. What happens next?

Please allow 24 to 48 hours for processing. We will contact you to schedule pick-up or local delivery.

Pick-ups must be scheduled in advance. We are unable to assist with loading heavy or oversized items, and items not picked up within the agreed timeframe may incur a holding fee.

All furniture pick-ups are final sale.

Storage requests are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us at (608) 212-2818 to discuss your situation.

What if there is an issue with third-party delivery?

If a third-party delivery provider is present and an issue arises, please call (608) 212-2818 immediately while they are still on site.

If an item arrives damaged, broken, or incomplete, document the issue in writing and provide clear photos as soon as possible. Authorization is required before refusing or returning any delivery.

What is performance fabric?

Performance fabric is designed to resist stains, fading, pilling, and moisture. These qualities are built into the fabric rather than applied as a coating, making it a durable option for households with children or pets.
