Wayfair

It's overpriced. Bought a bathroom vanity from them only because I needed it quick because HD and Lowe's didn't have what I needed. Look for online coupons if you plan on buying from them. I'm actually finding myself going small, local businesses. The prices are sometimes even lower and you can negotiate.

As far as quality, no, it's pretty much what you'd find everywhere else. It's no different than shopping at similar type places.

Boooooooooring website and the prices are expensive.

Wayfair isn't a manufacturer. It's a congregator like Amazon. Most stuff is made in China and quality is hit-or-miss.

Got a few nice pieces from there but you have to do your research. A lot of it is crap!

Got a wonderful chenille sofa on there about three years ago. It's still very comfy and sturdy. As stated above, do a ton of research and pay attention to the dimensions. I've heard good and bad stories though.

Cheap shit and you have to put it together. Nahhhh

They sell children to baby sacrificing liberals! Deep State!

Had a minor issue with them recently that was resolved.

They sent me a "Sorry" email afterwards with a 10% off coupon.

I don't consider anything less than 20% off and free shipping a sincere and proper apology.

10% off is an insult, not an apology.

It does have the widest selection and best prices. Though the required construction efforts are a reason for a huge discount I’ve realized. But still use Wayfair a lot - I refuse to pay a ton of money for furniture as it gets dated or I get tired of it or I move often. I’ve used Kaiyo - good, cleaned used furniture - but realize they are overpriced too.

Any other suggestions for decent cheap furniture?

It’s overpriced crap. Caveat emptor. Find a good local furniture maker that employs local people.

Why would you order a sofa you couldn’t sit on and see what it feels like?

Wayfair is garbage. My SIL has ordered disposable trendy furniture from Wayfair. It’s cheap shit that looks good for a year and then starts chipping and getting wobbly.

Sounds like they sell frauniture.

Try Craigslist. They still have quite a bit of furniture listed. Plus, you can go look at it and you can probably bargain with someone, esp. someone who's moving.

Woke. In hock to China.

Kelly's latest ad makes shopping on Wayfair look like great fun!

I bought a small solid wood coffee table from them...the finish looked like kindergarteners did it. They sent me a new one, didn't have to send the other back.

I ordered a TV stand and they sent a buffet! It was gorgeous but I don't need a buffet. They told me to keep it and they'd "resend" the TV stand. I gave away the buffet and kept the TV stand when it arrived. It's beautiful.

A friend ordered a lazy susan for a cabinet and they sent one much larger than she ordered. They told her to keep it and sent her the correct one the following week!

Furniture must be marked up so high that's it's cheaper for them to write off mistakes than coordinate shipping it back to them.

Got a coffee table from them. It should have been half the price.

R9, lol, most companies give you nothing just for complaining. You should be glad for the 10% off

They sell a lot of different stuff. Some is good, some is bad. I bought some bath mats, towels, and curtains from Wayfair and liked them all

Wayfair does not have a M-A-N-A-G-E-R, R9?

I refuse to go to a website that needs my email before I can look at anything in that site.

Fuck them.

Some of their stuff looks nice though I would probably buy a bed and couch from elsewhere.

Can I ask them to ship me a size I didn't order? I like free stuff.

I opened this thread and the Kelly Clarkson commercial came on.

My SIL has ordered from them. Flimsy garbage that costs too much for what it is. Very frau.

I made the mistake of buying a couch from them in 2020 during the height of the pandemic.

It’s falling apart-legs have fallen off, loose threads everywhere, Fraying fabric. It wasn’t top of the line but it certainly wasn’t a return or a $199 clearance piece or something, and it looks 10 years old now. I’m looking for it’s replacement.

This was the first and last time I will purchase a large piece of furniture online.

OP, they've got just what you need!

What are some good furniture stores to go to?

Is the stuff from Wayfair better than IKEA or are they about the same?

R32, Mitchell Gold has good furniture (or used to, anyway). Crate and Barrel, too. Decent quality.

I had an IKEA sofa that was practically indestructible, but that was 20 years ago. I had it for a good five years before it showed a sign of wear. Kept it for another two. (They also used to have really good wool rugs at excellent prices, but no more )

It occurs to me that we haven’t bought new furniture in about 20 years because we keep inheriting excellent quality stuff. There’s no reason to buy new. Sorry for the humblebrag.

I ordered a desk from Wayfair and received a hanging hammock chair instead. Called customer care and was told to keep the chair since the cost to ship it back would cost more than the chair. Never got the desk because it was forever on back order so I canceled.

I ordered a convertible armchair/sleeper for my office and was pretty satisfied with the quality. So I ordered another one for my mom, and what was delivered was of cheaper quality, poorly made, and had different stitching. Seems they pulled the old switcheroo. So, you never really know what you'll get.

I'm sick of bad couches. I spend most if my time at home sitting there, and they last less than ten years. My last one from Crate and Barrell squeaked from day one. So, off the Ethan Allen I went and this sofa will last the rest of my life.

How can a person order a sofa (or mattress for that matter) without trying it out first? Places like Wayfair (and the late Pier One) sells the most UNCOMFORTABLE furniture on earth.

R34, what do you do for a living? Mitchell Gold have couches for $13,000! JFC!

Wayfair is just a conglomerater of merchandise from other sites/wholesalers. It's not a brand, per se, that you can expect a specific level of quality from. So, it's hit or miss in terms of quality. To keep costs low. most of its stuff is made in China with questionable quality.

Okay, that makes sense because I was seeing the same exact things from Overstock.com and other sites. I thought Wayfair was like a slightly more upscale IKEA.

R37 I'm not R34, but I have a MG sofa, and they used to be very reasonably priced, even for leather. The leather camelback sofa in Ross's flat from the series [italic] Friends [/italic] was from MG for Crate & Barrel. I have the same frame in fabric.

Before MG added the +Bob Williams, they made a lot of upholstery for Crate & Barrel's furniture collection. It's surprising to hear that price really, but I purchased mine back in 2004 or 2005. The retail was under $3k, , and there was a huge sale at the time. It may have been originally $2200, or 2300.

Certainly not the best quality, yet it survives to this day with a third set of slipcovers,and new cushions. Much better than Wayfair; I should think.

The furniture brand I work for sells on Wayfair, but not under our own name. Wayfair white labels/renames 99% of their merchandise to make it appear it's their own in-house brands.

They also drop ship everything and don't keep any inventory themselves (except for a select range of items).

Most of the time, they use the original manufacturer's images so you can easily do a reverse image search and find who the real brand is, and a lot of the time you can find it cheaper elsewhere. Wayfair's pricing fluctuates according to what their search algorithm tells them to.

It’s utter crap.
