Product Information
Product information can be found on the website at www.aceray.com, in the "Product Specifications" section of the Aceray Binder, or in the Aceray Catalog. All dimensions and weights are to be considered overall and approximate.  Finishes depicted on our website and catalog are approximate due to the variation inherent in color monitors and the processes of photography and printing.

We do our best to keep the information up-to-date and accurate at all times. However, we reserve the right to:

  • Make minor changes to specifications, materials and design during the production phase.
  • Discontinue items without prior notice.

Design & Proprietary Rights
Aceray's policy is to promote outstanding design and high quality craftsmanship. Our product line includes many original designs protected worldwide by patents and design registration. The proprietary rights to these items belong to either the designer, the manufacturer, or Aceray. In cases where the rights of some designs have expired, we concentrate on their reproduction using the most advanced and approved production methods. These methods have been developed to meet the needs of the trade.

Quality & Manufacturing Procedures
Wood is a natural, organic product and owes its inherent beauty to variations in color, grain and texture.  These variations are not considered defects.  There may be minor variations from one piece of furniture to the next even though they were finished at the same time.  Natural wood products become darker as they are exposed to light and the aging process.  Aceray does not guarantee the exact matching of grain, pattern, and color.

Each product in the Aceray line is developed with commercial use in mind. We guarantee that only those manufacturers who have extensive expertise in manufacturing, and who use production methods specifically for commercial grade furnishings, produce our merchandise.  Aceray products are intended for indoor use unless specifically noted otherwise.

All items are manufactured with premium grade materials and are continually tested at both the factories and testing laboratories. Items include polyurethane foam and fabrics that meet California Technical Bulletin #117 requirements. If necessary, certain items can be manufactured according to California Technical Bulletin #133 at a net charge of $15.00 per chair (products that require over 1 yard of fabric will have a higher upcharge.)  Testing may be ordered at standard cost plus a $350/item testing fee.  Item testing takes approximately 3-10 weeks depending on item availability and testing specifications.

Since TB133 tests furniture and not components there are no TB133 approved fabrics. Fabrics comprised solely or in any combination of the following fibers are more likely to be suitable components for products  that must comply with TB133.

Acrylic, Nylon, Vinyl, Animal Hairs, Polyester, Virgin Wool, Cordura, Rayon, Viscose, Cotton, SEF Modacrylic, Wool, Leather, Silk, Worsted Wool, Modacrylic, Spun Nylon, Mohair and Trevira.

Proper Care
Wood Products: Do not use chemical solvents (trichlorethene, acetone, benzene etc.) to clean the wooden parts of the product. The furniture should not come into direct contact with water or be placed in a damp environment. Do not place hot, chemically reactive and substantially unsuitable objects on the horizontal surface. The product should not be placed in direct sunlight.
Remove dust with a soft, clean and dry duster. For more extensive staining, use cleaning agents designed for furniture finished with all types of lacquer.  Strictly adhere to the label instructions for use of the cleaning agent.
Outdoor Products: Chemical solvents (such as trichlorethene, acetone, benzene etc.) should not be used for product cleaning. Lukewarm water is recommended for cleaning outdoor furniture in particular removal of dust and common stains. Outdoor products should not be pressure cleaned.
Metal Products: Removing oils, chemicals, and particulates from brass, copper, and other soft metal parts in addition to aluminum can be accomplished using these detergents: ALCONOX: for ultrasonic removal of oils and particulates, DET-O-JET: heavy duty degreaser for machine washers, CITRANOX: enhanced acid for safer cleaning of metal oxides and LUMINOX: neutral pH non-foaming aluminum cleaner.
Stainless Steel Products: Clean with a small amount of plain water and a clean cloth. If that isn't as effective, try a mild detergent like dishwashing liquid. Glass cleaner can be great to remove smudges and fingerprints. If you’ve had staining or scratching, or need to polish your stainless steel, a stainless steel cleaner should be used. Stainless Steel cleaners and polishes can help minimize scratching and remove stains. Read the directions on the stainless steel cleaner and test in an inconspicuous spot. Be sure to rinse thoroughly and towel dry.
Other Products: Only use non-abrasive cleaners that are specifically made for the type of surface being cleaned (glass, granite, stainless steel, chrome, etc.)  Strictly adhere to the label instructions for use of the cleaning agent.

Product Warranty
Original purchasers of Aceray products are protected against defects in material and workmanship for a period of 5 years for indoor products and a period of 3 years for outdoor products of single shift service from the date of shipment. This warranty does not cover:

  • Normal wear and tear
  • Upholstery materials either supplied by Aceray or the purchaser
  • Damage or injury caused by:
  • unreasonable or abusive use
  • failure to provide necessary reasonable care
  • accident, tampering or negligence
  • unauthorized repairs
  • after market changes to the product

Periodic maintenance is necessary. Products should be inspected at least once a month for damage or signs of structural fatigue incurred in daily handling in addition to receiving regular cleaning & maintenance (i.e. screws and bolts should be tightened, foot caps and glides replaced regularly).  If a defect is found, take the item out of service immediately and contact Aceray LLC.  Warranty is voided if proper maintenance procedures are not followed.

Coats and other articles should not be hung on the back of chairs. This practice may cause chairs to be unstable. Chairs are not designed to be placed seat down on table surfaces. Chairs stored in this manner are unstable. The shock of chairs falling from table tops may compromise the structural integrity of the shell/base attachment.  This damage is not covered under Aceray’s warranty.

Should a defect occur, Aceray will repair or replace at our option defective goods free of charge provided the product is returned to us promptly, as directed, prepaid, and with an RMA number. All costs for furniture installation, removal from service and reinstallation due to warranty claims is the responsibility of the customer. Aceray LLC will not be liable for costs associated with any of the above conditions.

Under no circumstances shall Aceray’s warranty exceed the original price paid for the merchandise.
No refunds for repairs made in the field will be allowed without prior written consent.
Variations in colors, grain or texture beyond reasonable commercial match are not warranted due to natural characteristics of the materials used.

If the item's useful life expires, it must be handled as waste. This means it must be handed over to a licensed facility for disposal (such as a waste collection facility.

Transport Claims
It is the consignee's responsibility to inspect cartons for visible signs of damage before accepting merchandise from the carrier. Any damage or any loss must be noted on the delivery receipt.  If an item is either lost or damaged, make an immediate claim with the carrier. Receiver should not refuse shipment under any conditions.  Refused shipments are the customer’s responsibility as all items ship FOB Lebanon, PA. Aceray LLC will not be responsible to track or refund refused deliveries. In case damage is concealed and not determined until furniture is unpacked, keep all the packing materials and notify the carrier and Aceray LLC within 5 working days.

When you receive product from our freight carriers, it is extremely important to inspect the carton/crate for any damage or even an indication of the possibility of damage.  You will be asked to sign a Bill of Lading which indicates you are receiving the product in perfect condition.  There is a box to note any “visible” damage on the carton/crate.  This is both your protection and ours against any freight claims.  Without notation of damage there is no recourse.
