Minor defects, faults or damages are referred to as ‘wear consistent with age and use’ or in words similar to this sentence.

We use the following terms to address the condition of our items: – Excellent (almost flawless/flawless) – Very good (some minor signs of use and age) – Good (some minor damages but representable) – Used (usable but needs some restoration) – To be reupholstered (fabric and/or foam needs replacement)

Nevertheless we do recommend our costumers to let the wiring get checked by a certified electrician. All items could contain hidden defects or flaws due to their secondary nature. TED is in no way responsible or reliable for any of these faults.
  4. TED sells fittings without light bulbs, Led and halogen lamps.
  5. All items are exiguous, so we cannot supply great amounts, except mentioned otherwise.
