We reserve the right to improve upon any of our designs or finishes without prior notice.

 

PRODUCTION LEAD TIME 

Production estimates are given at the time an order is confirmed by Ridgely Studio Works Inc.  They are based on production schedules at the time an order is placed.  Lead times also depend on the timely receipt of all finish specifications and custom dimensions (if applicable) from the client.
