Anyone order Wayfair furniture?

I'd have to say was pleasantly surprised! It was my first time ordering furniture sight unseen online! It would probably horrify people to know I got a blush pink velvet loveseat type couch! It's simply stunning & all I had to do was screw on the legs & hook the sides on. It's for my "fun" small room (spare bedroom I turned into my collection & relaxing room-no bed!), so had to fit a small space. Previously had a futon in there I covered w fun throws, but I found a college kid who now has a "new" piece & I have my sophisticated replacement! I did read lots of reviews to get a handle on sturdiness, overall look & assembly issues if any prior to purchasing.

Anyone else find furniture they love they ordered online & not in a store?

I ordered a pretty red accent cabinet for my home office and just love it. It was slightly damaged but not worth trying to replace, so I made the minor repair myself. Wayfair has so many interesting and unique things! I also ordered red metal counter stools for my kitchen and they arrived in perfect condition -- got them on sale and was very pleased with the quality.

We ordered a chair "In Stock" last April. their customer service was horrible. It finally arrived 3 days after he passed away in September. Refused that shipment. one minute it was in stock, then it went to back order, tried to cancel, they wouldn't let us, then it was preparing for shipment, then on back order and this went on from the beginning of may till all of sudden it by a miracle and no communication it arrived. Hope, tore up that credit card and will never do business with them again. Worst Customer Service EVER.

Sorry to hear that. Also for your loss....

I ordered 2 weeks ago & it came from CA all the way across the country to me in PA in a week! Admittedly I was anxious, but was realistically expecting it to take a few weeks, considering it was a couch sized box!! Even lil bit smaller than a loveseat, but still! Box had a small tear, contents were mint & well packaged! I'd order again in a heartbeat!

After looking for several months, I ordered my tv credenza from Wayfair. Very pleased when it arrived -- it's beautiful and great quality. There used to be so many nice furniture stores in our area, but many have gone out of business and there are less and less places to shop. I was pleased with Wayfair's serice and delivery and would use it again.

@sometimesQVCaddict ~ Wayfair offers a great variety to choose from. Unfortunately, they do not offer free shipping to Alaska. Their shipping fees are through the roof! No Wayfair orders for me. It would be wonderful to

order online. We have lots of furniture stores, and just a couple quality stores. Their prices are ridiculously high, and unaffordable. Most people here are stuck with take it or leave it :/

I ordered rugs from Wayfair and I was pleased with the result. They had shipped an incorrect rug to me once, and customer service was fantastic. They immediately shipped me a replacement and arranged pick up for the incorrect item.

I've ordered furniture online from Pottery Barn and have not been disappointed. I had ordered fabric swatches which helped in making choices on uphostery color.

Yes, some antiques and reproduction furniture pieces from two sellers on ebay and from online auctions.

Before doing that, though, be sure to check out these sellers, carefully examine all the photos, look at the ratings, read the reviews, and whether sellers guarantee what they sell.

I suggest looking for sellers and auction houses that are fairly close to your location because shipping can be expensive. I try to stay within 200 miles.

Some sellers offer discounted delivery within a certain range...often 100 to 150 miles.

One piece I wanted so much was located in California. I'm in the Northeast. Independent shippers quoted $1000 to $1500 to deliver a chest. About a week to two weeks after the auction ended, one shipper quoted $300, another $150. They look at the pieces on ebay and auction houses, then offer a quote.

Some truckers will lower the cost if they have room left over in their trucks. They want to fill them, the reason for the much lower quotes.

If interested in this type of buying and the seller is willing to hold the item for a few weeks without charging, it might be advantageous to take the chance, then wait for a trucker to offer a lower price.

Still, it's taking a chance because a lower price might not be offered and the seller could begin to charge for storage; however, even with paying storage, overall the cost could be much less than paying for initial quotes.

Sellers and auction houses often recommend reputable shippers.

I ordered a chest freezer from Wayfair. It arrived with a small dent on the side of it, the size of a dime. I called CS, they offered me a replacement or $70 off. I took the money.

I was pleased with the freezer ( made in Cananda) and their CS dept.

I haven't order any large furniture pieces but I've been pleased with the chairs and lamps I've ordered.

My nephew ordered several pieces from them when he bought his first house. The coffee table, end tables and entertainment unit are still in one piece after a little over a year, but the finishes are already coming off and they look cheap.

The dining table and chairs (which matched the other pieces) didn't fare so well, The table is still in one piece, but barely, 4 of the 6 chairs busted (as in collapsed because the wood shattered) while people were sitting in them. His friends aren't big people either. All of them are athletes, and while a couple of them might weigh around 225, they're not heavy for their height.

A couple of months ago, I ordered a small upright freezer to supplement my fridge freezer. It arrived in about 3 days in perfect condition. I've really enjoyed using it as I'm able to keep more frozen food on hand.

I've ordered from Wayfair; an outdoor dining set, umbrella & stand for it; baskets, padding for an area rug, a painting. The shipping was fast, & customer service, in my experience, is excellent.

I ordered a large TV cabinet stand for the TV. They were the only place I could find the size we needed. I was very pleased with the whole process. Came in a timely manner and in perfect condition. I would definitely order from them again.

I ordered some faux wicker chairs to use outside this summer since we were unable to go anywhere.

The chairs were great, well packages and no issues with it.

the only problem I had was that the delivery part and that wasn't Wayfair as much as Fed Ex Ground! They delivered them to the wrong house. I got the notification that the chairs had been delivered and thought to myself - huh? Where? Nope nowhere in the yard. I live in a rural area but GPS gets people to my house all the time. I called to see if they delivered to my brother who lives down the road from me, nope. So I got in my car and drove up and down the road. As I was driving past someone's driveway -- a quarte of a mile away - I see this BIG box in their driveway. I got out and looked and yes that was MY box. Of course it was too large to go in my car so I drove home and then walked down and carried it back to my house.

I tried calling CS to complain about the delivery issue but after sitting on hold for 20 minutes I gave it up. I had the chairs, it was just a bit more difficult getting them home.

@sometimesQVCaddict I think your loveseat sounds wonderful!

Thanks, it's gorgeous! And free shipping can't be beat! Plus not having to go into a store right now.

Interesting to hear others who took the plunge! Great choices!

I have ordered a few things--not furniture--however my DD ordered a love seat that was on sale--she didn't really read it carefully--and the thing is junk already after maybe 6 months or so--- I would never order furniture like a sofa or something like that--I need to see it and touch it and sit on it------will be looking to buy good quality furniture very soon and will go in person to the showroom. but decor stuff has been ok.
