Accessibility Statement
How we build this site so that it works for everyone, what we know is imperfect, and how to reach a person if the site gets in your way.
Last updated: September 3, 2026
The short version
We want everyone to be able to browse, choose and buy furniture here. We build this site toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 at Level AA, and if something gets in your way we want to hear about it and fix it.
1. Our approach
Accessibility is treated as part of building the site rather than as an afterthought. When we add or change a page, we check it against the practices below.
2. What we do
- Text and background colours are chosen to meet the contrast ratios set out in WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
- Pages use real headings in order, so a screen reader can move through the structure.
- Product and decorative images carry appropriate alternative text.
- Menus, forms, filters and the checkout can be operated with a keyboard alone, and the focused element is always visible.
- Form fields have visible labels, and errors are described in text rather than by colour alone.
- Layouts reflow for small screens and remain usable when text is enlarged to 200 percent.
- Animation is kept minimal and respects the reduced motion setting in your operating system.
3. Known limitations
Some parts of the site rely on third party services, including our payment processor and embedded maps. We do not control the code those services produce, and their accessibility may differ from the rest of the site. If one of them blocks you from completing an order, call (718) 381-9800 and we will take the order over the telephone.
Product descriptions supplied by manufacturers occasionally arrive as formatted text that is less clean than our own writing. We correct these as we find them.
4. Shopping without the website
You are always welcome to place an order with a person instead of a screen. Call (718) 381-9800 during showroom hours and we will describe options, check measurements with you, and place the order for you. Our showroom at
5936 Myrtle Ave.Ridgewood, NY 11385 is open seven days a week.
5. Tell us about a problem
If you meet a barrier on this site, please tell us. Email support@bjnicolsfurniture.com with the page address and a short description of what happened, or call (718) 381-9800. We aim to reply within two business days and to tell you what we can do and when.
6. Ongoing work
This statement is reviewed whenever the site changes significantly. It reflects the state of the site on the date shown at the top of this page.
