When you are done click “ADD TO CART”. You can add as many products as you like to your shopping cart, and edit the quantities and products by clicking on “My cart” in the top right hand corner of the page.

After your order is processed (72 hours after placing order), we will notify you by email and/or SMS when we expect your order to be ready. We will contact you again when your order is ready to arrange a suitable delivery time. If you have any queries about your order you can contact us at any time by phone or email.
Will I need to assemble my furniture when it arrives?
There is absolutely no self-assembly with Creative Space. All our furniture items come fully assembled by professional joiners. That’s the beauty of buying locally made furniture. They do not need to come in boxes and they do not need to be put together. So you are free to start enjoying your furniture from the moment it arrives.
Do you offer a measuring service?
No, all Creative Space is sold online and is semi-customised by you according to your individual requirements.
Do you have a shop or showroom?
Creative Space is an entirely online shop – there is no showroom. This helps to keep costs low. We do not hold stock as each item is made to order specifically for each customer.
What materials do you use?
At Creative Space we only use the best materials and suppliers across our entire range.
We use BLUM hinges and runners on all drawers. BLUM are widely considered in the industry to be among the best.
We use the same top grade sheet materials as the high quality custom joiners and cabinet makers.
All our carcasses and drawers are constructed using 16mm high moisture-resistant white particle
board. All our coloured textured board is moisture resistant MDF.
Our ply products are 18mm thick ply with white laminated face.
All polyurethane (painted) components are professionally sprayed with 6 coats to ensure a superior finish.

Where do you deliver to and how much does it cost?
We are currently offering free delivery to anywhere on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and selected local postcodes (usually $90 minimum). For delivery prices to all other postcodes please use the “calculate shipping” button in the checkout section.

Can I arrange my own collection?
Yes. Any order can be collected from our Manly workshop. We advise any customer who goes down this route to hire the services of a professional furniture removal firm with appropriate insurance. If you are not present at the collection you will need to entrust them with signing for the furniture as undamaged.
