What are Tolerances?

What is a tolerance?

In the textiles industry, a "tolerance" is the degree of slight variation which is acceptable in a finished product. Tolerances may include slight differences from featured size, weight, shape, construction, pattern placement, or fabric characteristics. Little variations are part of the charm when you order hand-crafted goods!

How do tolerances apply to the Size Guide?

Our items are hand-crafted from pliable materials, so all dimensions are approximate. The tolerance for smaller items such as chair cushions, table linens, and window treatments, is +/- 1". The tolerance for larger items such as rocking chair cushions and patio cushions is +/-2".
