General
SUNPAN is a trade-only company, what does that mean?
We are a business-to-business (B2B) company, which means that we exclusively work with interior designers, retailers, architects and other businesses in the furniture and design industry.

While we do not sell directly to end-consumers, you can still purchase our products from retailers and interior designers who work with us. Visit our Dealer Locator page to find a furniture retailer near you that stocks our products.
Please note that not all local retailers may carry our entire catalogue of products, so it may be best to call ahead of time to ensure that they have the SUNPAN item that you are interested in. You could also contact your favorite local retailers and request them to get in touch with our sales representative to procure the products you are interested in.

What Is Proposition 65?
Proposition 65 is a law enforced in the state of California. It requires businesses to notify Californians about significant amounts of chemicals in the products they purchase, in their homes or workplaces, or that are released into the environment.
The list of chemicals contains a wide range of naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals that are known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. These chemicals include additives or ingredients in pesticides, common household products, food, drugs, dyes, or solvents. Listed chemicals may also be used in manufacturing and construction, or they may be byproducts of chemical processes, such as motor vehicle exhaust.
The list is updated and maintained by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). To learn more, please visit the official website.
There is a possibility that SUNPAN products and/or packaging may come in contact with some of the listed chemicals (such as wood dust or flame retarded solvents) at our manufacturing facilities. As such, we are required to affix a warning label to products stating the exact verbiage:
"This product can expose you to chemicals including [name of California Prop 65 substance (e.g. Wood Dust)], which is known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/furniture."
As SUNPAN products are sold in the state of California, we are required to abide by it’s the state’s regulations.
What warranty does SUNPAN offer?
Our high quality furniture comes with a one-year warranty that is valid from the date of delivery . The warranty covers any defective materials and/or manufacturing defects from normal use.
