When you're spending $1,000+ on a piece of furniture, the last thing you want is for it to arrive damaged on your doorstep in a box. That's where white glove delivery comes in — and it's one of the most important things to look for when buying premium furniture online.

What Is White Glove Delivery?

White glove delivery means a professional two-person team delivers your furniture directly into your home, places it in the room of your choice, assembles it if needed, and removes all packaging. You don't lift a finger.

What's Included

  • Scheduled delivery appointment (not a 4-hour window)
  • Two-person delivery team
  • Room-of-choice placement
  • Assembly and setup
  • Packaging removal and disposal
  • Inspection before the team leaves

Why It Matters for Premium Furniture

Large, heavy, or delicate pieces — think solid wood dining tables, upholstered sectionals, or marble-topped consoles — require careful handling. Standard curbside delivery puts the risk of damage and the burden of moving on you. White glove eliminates both.

What to Ask Before You Order

  • Is white glove included or an add-on?
  • Does the team call ahead to schedule?
  • What happens if something arrives damaged?

At Old Bones Co, we partner with Deliveright for white glove delivery on qualifying orders. Every piece is inspected before it enters your home.
