Purchasing 

We are a retail business and, just like a typical furniture store, we require full payment at the time of purchase.

Home Assembly  

A. Our home assembly team works closely with our products to ensure that your Escape can be fully set-up in just 1 day. Interested? Get in touch or visit a showroom for more information.
A. We install all the appliances that we sell but connecting them to water, gas and electric requires a licensed technician. Everything that requires electricity can be run off a standard 110 extension cable but if you require it to be hard wired you will need an electrician. We also sell a self-contained water system if water supply and drainage is an issue. Everything is ready to be connected to the gas source; if you are using an LP tank you can connect it yourself, or if you are connecting natural gas, you should consult a licensed gas technician.
A. Of course! Our verification measure is in place to make sure that your outdoor kitchen will fit. We will be able to advise on the general location of utilities relative to the design, but as the water pipes, gas pipes and electrical may require a licensed technician, we are unable to provide precise locations for these.
A. We offer a variety of Escapes with configurations that do not require utility lines. Your Escapologist can help outfit you with the perfect match for your needs!
