Warranty and liability  

AKB offers for sale top-quality design products. These products are distributed by AKB through direct agreements with furniture manufacturers and dealers, carefully selected based on their production and style criteria.

The AKB team checks, on a random base, the product (or products) before its shipment. However, the client always benefits from the product legal warranty given by each producer.
