My BIL just sent back $1500.00 worth of furniture he had ordered from Wayfair. 95% of it was damaged when he received it. The reviews for Wayfair are not that great either.  And yes, assembly required.

After reading select reviews all that was said here and on site -- I'll pay the extra for it to be assembled.  

I will find them I'm sure somewhere -- I don't want the aggravation and I did see if you have assembled pieces its alot higher.  Guess you pay cheaper prices for the fact you put together.

Thanks everyone!

I ordered a bathroom vanity from Overstock recently.  The vanity was already assembled, and all the handymen had to do was put the marble countertop on it.  Delivery was efficient.  It was very expensive, but much nicer than what I could find at Lowe's locally.

I ordered the faucet and lights from Wayfair and was pleased with their delivery, too.  I did have to return something to Wayfair, and it was processed quickly.  After reading some reviews on delivery of bathroom vanities from Wayfair I wouldn't order something like that from them.

I am on the market for some furniture and with stores largely gone except for those for people with large budgets, internet only assembly required offers tremendous variety.  I am good at assembling, but, having never seen the assembled product except on a picture on my computer, I am afraid of ordering something that I would not be able to return if I don't like the quality of the materials or finished appearance.  If I have a piece of furniture delievered that does not live up to expectations, I can turn it away.  but if ups or usps delivers very large boxes that must be broken up to open, how does one ever send that back if unsatisfied?

I ordered a couple of accent tables and a bookcase from Amazon...

I read reviews on them first to see if they were hard to assemble....

I am very happy with all 4 items and I was able to do it myself.....

Hubby helped with the bookcase since it was so big....

"Assembly Required" is a huge NO for me.   I tried it a couple times when I was younger, but even then, the parts were too awkward and heavy for me to handle.   (I'm 4'10"....and don't have a long reach or much leverage).

I found 2 nice cabinets and a media cabinet.  They say "assembly" required -- looked at the directions definitely not for me..I'm not good at that!

I see Wayfair offers for $99 assembly.

I have never shopped either site -- is everything furniture unassembled??

Thank you🙂

I have a friend that shops Wayfair a lot for her furniture....she always has friends from her work help her put it together.....But this unassembled stuff is just not for me.....!!!!

I have a wooden cabinet in my bedroom that my TV in that rooms sits on that came unassembled, neither me nor several friends can get one door to close right....I had to use command strips to get it to close...unassembled never ever again.....

When I was a bit younger I purchased a few items that had to be put together and found it was not my forte. I didn't particularly enjoy the process and a big part of the reason was because, quite frankly, none of that stuff is of a quality that ensures assembly is seamless. It seems there's always something that just doesn't quite fit and the finished products are never as sturdy as furniture delivered in one piece. Ikea, Target, Wayfair, Overstock and their contemporaries might work for a first apartment but beyond that it wouldn't be my choice.
