Today, everything is bought and sold on-line, and furniture is not an exception. Sure, an opportunity to order a brand new sofa without the need to stand up from the old one is luring. However, you should not forget that the pictures, listed on the majority of on-line furniture stores, can be quite deceiving. The risk of ordering a low quality item is too high – after all, you will not have a chance to check it out physically – not always, at the very least. So, if you want to make the right choice, here is a quick guide to buying furniture on-line. It should be more than enough to help you get started:
Carefully read product description
Most furniture e-commerce sites publish a very detailed description to every item they sell, you should take your time to read it. Sure, you will pay attention to the dimensions and the material. However, you should also consider some other factors – for example, how the item is fixed together, what additional functionality it features, etc.
Make a comparison check in other stores
The price on the same items will differ drastically from store to store. So, even if you are totally satisfied with the first product description you see (which is quite unusual), do not hurry to reach for your credit card. Make a price range check first – then, you come to your conclusions.
Visit a showroom if possible
Some stores have showrooms – not just an online listing of their products. If the showroom is somewhere in your vicinity, you should probably make a quick trip – especially if you are buying some major furniture items – like a sliding wardrobe , or a complete living room set. In the UK, Furniture in Fashion is one the stores that offer a chance to physically check out 99% of the listed items in their showroom in Farnworth.
Contact support with any questions
If you have any questions about the products you like, or if the product description seems to be lacking some important information – do not hesitate to contact site support – it is their job to give you all the answers.
Choose established platforms
Look for customer testimonials before you make your choice about the store. As a rule, they can be quite useful – especially if you are looking for quality support and quick order processing.
Look for a company that has warehouses in your vicinity
If you want your orders to be processed really quickly, you should look for e-commerce platforms that have warehouses in your vicinity. As it was already mentioned, in the UK Furniture in Fashion is one of the obvious examples.
Check out the sales
Do not forget to check out the selection at sales – sometimes, a lot of high quality furniture items from the old collection are sold at a significantly reduced price.
Keep your interior theme consistent
And, of course, do not forget to keep your interior theme consistent – no matter which room you are decorating at the moment, you should bear your general interior pattern in mind – so do not buy anything that does not fit into the picture.
