01The small print

Editorial Policy

Every sentence on this site is ours, about our own range, and it comes from two kinds of material and nothing else: the figures we hold on each piece, and the published guidance of named public bodies where a sentence touches safety.

Figures

Width, height and depth, drawer and tier counts, weight capacity, seat height range, pack count, price. Each comes from our product data, and when a figure is not there the card does without it rather than estimating.

Sentences about safety

Anchoring, bunk bed rails, heater distances and what an ergonomic chair is for are said in the words of the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, with a link and the date we read it; the full list is on our updates page. Where those bodies say a thing is your job rather than the furniture's, our page says so too.

Reviews

Customer quotes on this site are real reviews of the pieces shown, printed as their writers typed them, spelling included. The ones we choose tend to name a drawback: a drawer that sticks, a desk that wobbles until the bolts are retightened, a colour that ran darker than the picture. A quote that promises more for a piece than its figures say is left out.

Photographs

Every card shows the pack shot of the piece named on it in the colour named on it. Renderings with slogans printed into the picture do not run here.

Corrections

A wrong figure or sentence, with the page, to plan@dumos-us.com. We fix it and note the change on the updates page.
