About Us

Bronson Design Studio's family-owned brick-and-mortar store has been operating in Upper Montclair NJ since 1981. In 2007, we started offering products via a web store as an entirely separate business. Our goal is to build long lasting relationships with our on-line customers just as we have done with our local clientele by offering a unique product selection, a safe and responsive shopping environment, and the highest level of customer service. We’re dedicated to providing you with the most enjoyable and rewarding on-line shopping experience possible.

Our Guarantee - We promise to provide you with products that always meet our strict guidelines of fine quality craftsmanship and long-term value. If for any reason you wish to return an item purchased from our web store, you may send it back within 10 days from the delivery date for a refund. Refer to our Return Policy for details.

Your Protection & Privacy - Bronson Design Studio is committed to protecting your privacy and providing you with a secure way to purchase items online. We never sell, trade, or rent a customer’s personal information to any third party organization. We also protect our checkout system with the highest level of Secure Sockets Layering (SSL) - encrypting all personal and financial information to ensure that your online purchase is completely safe. Please refer to our comprehensive Privacy & Security Policy for more details.

Terms and Conditions of Sale

Service Area

We offer shipping to all 50 United States. However, we cannot deliver to P.O. Box locations or APO/FPO addresses.

Payment Procedures

We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Novus (Discover). Your credit card will not be charged until your order ships. However, we obtain preauthorization from your credit card company at the time your order is placed. When your order ships, the preauthorization amount will be replaced by an actual charge debited from your card.

Sales Tax

Bronson Design Studio only collects sales tax for those orders shipped to New Jersey, where we are located. We do not charge sales tax on orders shipped to any other location.

Delivery

Once you've placed your order, we will send you an order confirmation email letting you know that your order has been received and is being processed. Purchases will be shipped to you directly from the manufacturer's warehouse by UPS or FedEx. After your order is shipped, you will receive another email confirmation notifying you that your order is on its way, and we'll provide you with the shipping company's tracking number. In-stock items usually ship 2 - 5 business days after you place the order. In most cases, you will receive your order within 2 weeks.

OVERSIZED ITEMS - Some items we sell are too large or too heavy to ship using a Small Parcel carrier (e.g. UPS or FedEx). In these cases, we will ship via truck freight (L.T.L. carrier) at no additional cost to you. Truck freight is different than standard UPS or FedEx in that you will be contacted by the shipping carrier to schedule a delivery appointment. A signature is required for all truck freight deliveries; someone must be available during business hours (Monday-Friday 8:00AM to 5:00PM) to sign for the delivery. Be forewarned that the driver is only responsible to deliver to curbside or driveway; although more often than not, they will take the items off the truck to your door. The most important thing to remember about truck freight is that you must inspect the package and its contents at the time of delivery. If you detect any damage, or if there is any reason at all for you to be concerned about damage, please refuse delivery or write "PRODUCT DAMAGED" clearly on the sheet that they ask you to sign. This ensures that if there is any damage, it will be easy to take care of the problem. Please allow an additional 1-3 days for truck freight delivery.

Website Errors, Inaccuracies or Omissions

Bronson Design Studio strives to ensure that the content on this website is complete and current. However, we do not guarantee that it is free of errors, inaccuracies or omissions related to price, product description or availability. Further, Bronson Design Studio reserves the right to refuse or cancel any orders containing any error, inaccuracy or omission, regardless of whether the order has been submitted, confirmed and/or your credit card has been charged. If your credit card has been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled, we shall promptly issue a credit to your credit card.

Price Match Policy

If you happen to find a price advertised for less - let us know!

Simply Email Us a link to the deal. We'll validate it and make you an offer you can't refuse.

Price Match Policy Guidelines:

Items eligible for Price Match must have a published online price by an authorized dealer. Items must be in stock at the competitor and available for immediate delivery. The Price Match cannot be used in conjunction with any other coupon or project pricing offers, nor does it apply to limited-quantity offers, auction sites, Ebay, classified ads, manufacturer's rebates, closeouts, clearances, bulk quantity items, or typographical errors. Products must be first quality, all new, factory-sealed, of the same brand, style and SKU. Bronson Design Studio, LLC reserves the right to consider any applicable tax and/or shipping charges when offering the Price Match.

Shipping Options

We offer free basic ground shipping on all items that can be shipped via standard UPS or FedEx. Exclusions from the free shipping offer include some OVERSIZED items that require special handling and all shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico.

Free Basic Ground - ships via industry-leading ground carriers, including FedEx, UPS, and LTL Freight. Tracking numbers are provided. Note: If part of your order is out-of-stock, we reserve the right to hold your order until it can ship in its entirety.

Priority Ground - same as above, except with priority treatment. Priority Ground orders are submitted to the factory as a "HOT RUSH". They are consequently processed and shipped before Basic Ground orders. If your order contains multiple items and a portion is on backorder, Priority Ground orders will split-ship at no additional cost, thereby ensuring you'll receive your merchandise as soon as possible.

2nd Day Air - available for most in-stock items (excluding oversized pieces) by special request. Please call ahead for pricing.
