Catalogues & brochures
Q: Do you have catalogues?

Contact details are or (0121) 2881897
Q: Can you send me a manufacturer's brochure?
A: Due to frequent changes in styles, fabrics and finishes, most manufacturers don't offer comprehensive brochures of their ranges. However, if there is an item you are interested in that is not shown on our site, we may be able to e-mail a photo for you to look at. Call or e-mail us for more information. Where possible we will send a sample of wood finish, please send contact details to
Security
Q: How safe is it to give my credit card details online?
A: None of the customers who have shopped at Centurion Furnishings have reported fraudulent use of a credit or debit card as a result of purchases made with us. The reason shopping with us is so safe is that our secure server software encrypts your credit or debit card number and converts it into bits of code that are then securely transmitted over the Internet. We are so confident about the transaction security we offer on our site that we back every purchase with a security guarantee. In the extremely unlikely event of unauthorised use of your credit or debit card, most banks and card issuers either cover all the charges that result from unauthorised use of your credit or debit card, or may limit your liability to just £50. If your bank or card issuer does hold you liable for any of the £50, Centurion Furnishings will cover the entire liability to you, up to the full £50. Centurion Furnishings will cover this liability only if the unauthorised use of your credit or debit card resulted through no fault of your own from purchases made at Centurion Furnishings while using the secure server. If you still prefer not to send your credit or debit card number over the Internet you place your order by telephone on (0121) 2881897 (Asia sales office ( Hong Kong ) +852 8197 4776 / Mobile +852 9218 4725).
