Even if you own only a few valuable paintings, protecting and preserving them is paramount. Even if you have general insurance, having paintings insurance means your collection is protected in case of loss and damage. Factors to consider regarding art insurance coverage include the dimensions of your paintings, if they are housed in multiple locations, and whether you live in an historic or listed building. Your insurance company should employ a specialist who understands the value of your art collection. Paintings insurance with adequate coverage, a low excess and an affordable premium is the best way for UK collectors to protect their fine art.

Hunting for the perfect set of stairs for your dog doesn’t have to be a stressful experience–as long as you know where to look. There are two main places that you can conduct your shopping, and that is either on the Internet or in one of your local stores. There are benefits to using either shopping method, but you might find that one better suits your needs than the other. To help make your decision a little easier, we’ve written this guide pointing out the most obvious advantages and disadvantages to both in-store and online shopping.
Your Budget
The amount that you have to spend will ultimately determine where you make your dog stair purchase. Unless you have a pet furniture store in your hometown, you might be surprised that any pet stairs you run across in a local shop will probably cost a bit more than you were expecting to spend. This is because traditional retail stores–especially those that aren’t of the “chain” variety–can only afford to keep stock of the things that their local consumers purchase regularly. Unfortunately, pet stairs haven’t become quite that popular yet. Thank goodness for the Internet, which allows businesses to offer a niche product and still make money because their “local customer base” include every continent with Internet access. You can browse online and compare prices of several stores in minutes. Not bad!
Decisions, Decisions…
If you have a specific type of steps in mind for your dog–say you want a beech wood finish with handles and a storage compartment–you’re going to find that online stores are going to have much more to offer in the way of specialty items. If you’re lucky to find a local shop that offers a made-to-order service, that might also be an option for you–but likely an expensive one. Finding a website that specializes in large dog stairs or any other type you may be looking for is as easy as typing in a search query, or you can simply browse the many websites until something special catches your eye.
Assembly?
If you aren’t very handy with building things, you might want to consider something pre-assembled. This is something that neither the Internet-based nor traditional shops particularly surpass one another in. Some local shops might have pre-assembled “display” steps–which is good because you can get an idea of the sturdiness and overall quality before you buy them–but the steps for purchase will likely be boxed and require assembly. The same goes for buying online. Because online purchases require a shipment through the mail, the business will save on postage if the item is sent in pieces in a small box. There are still online companies who ship their pet stairs fully assembled–such as HelpYourPets.com–so don’t feel as though assembly is a definite in your future. Just dig around either online or in local shops and see if you can obtain something pre-built.
Now that you’re aware of your options, it’s time to start doing some research to weed through the possibilities. Remember, it’s much easier to find a supplier if you base your search on the three key points we mentioned above. Good luck with your purchase!
