The Furniture
Most of our products come from premium manufacturers in the UAE, the same that supply well known 5-star hotels such as Marriott and Hilton.
All purchased items are new. Rented items are in new or like-new condition. Our pieces go through a thorough 7-step refurbishment process before they get delivered.
Treat the furniture as your own! We expect regular wear-and-tear (e.g. coffee stain). More extensive damages (e.g. broken table), are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
MAKAN is currently an exclusive online store, and we don’t have a showroom. We cut sales costs, retail costs, to bring you high-end furniture at an affordable cost.
However, to guarantee your satisfaction, we have a no-questions-asked free return and full refund policy if you are not satisfied with a product during delivery (please note that the returns, if any, will need to be at the time of delivery).
Treat the furniture like your own. Here are a few points on how to take care of some of the different fabric/items:
-
Mattress: It is advisable to rotate the mattress every few months. If you need to clean it, please use a damp cloth and leave it to dry once cleaned
-
Carpets: Vacuuming regularly keeps the carpet in good condition, we recommend to use long strokes while vacuuming. For cleaning, use a dry cloth as soon as you see the need to in order to absorb the dust/spill
-
Fabric/Upholstery: Dry cloth dab works best, we recommend attending to the dust/spot as soon as possible to avoid long term stains
-
Wood: We recommend furniture/wood cleaners usage along with dry cloth. Also coasters are the best way to avoid glass/can stains
-
Metal: Dry cloth dusting is recommended along with attending to dust/spots immediately
-
Everything else: In short, taking care of spots/spills/dust immediately is always advisable
The Service
Renting your furniture allows you to keep your options open, in case you need to move or change your space. If you are looking for your long-term furniture, then buying a great option.
