    We liked it originally and needed a new table and it was a good buy. We since found another table which we liked and offered better value for money.

    Don't think there's anything wrong in that is there?!!
    You've failed to follow the number one rule. Once you've bought what you were after, stop looking!

    Nothing wrong with that at all, its just that research should have been carried before the purchase.

    Look, you need to sit down at a table and work this out with them.
    You know what uranium is, right? It's this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.

    I purchased a table last Monday from a well known high street furniture retailer which we saw in their shop.

    Was it Oak Furniture land by any chance?
    If so, you should be able to return the table within 7 days of delivery under their returns policy.

    Not if it was a second and sold 'as seen'. See first post.

    But there is nothing in their returns policy that states clearance items are excluded from this.

    High street stores don't have to offer a returns policy for change of mind but if such a policy is advertised then it forms part of the contract of sale as it may have persuaded a consumer to make the purchase so unless the OP was told about no return by a salesperson prior to purchasing, there is no reason why they shouldn't be entitled to return it.

    Of course, this is assuming that it was OFL.

    Do you know anybody who has recently bought/moved into a new house/flat, and hasn't got any furniture? If so, then you have a very nice Christmas present for them.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
