Experience with Wayfair?

10 years ago
We pretty much have to purchase all new furniture for our new home. I started looking at Wayfair for some and then I saw the prices and was like, why not all!? I'm not sure how we would pick out seating though as it's best to test out in person.

Any experience / tips for Wayfair? Any furniture no-gos like rugs, etc.?

    I purchased outdoor furniture and I am delighted with price and quality. I could not find one of the pillows and they shipped me another one no questions asked within three days. Excellent service.

    I think you gotta eyeball this stuff, never trust a computer image unless you don"t mind returning stuff.

    I googled Wayfair complaints and found this:

    I would be hesitant to purchase from them. Hubby and I bought bedroom furniture from a local furniture dealer. Another caveat: If you are sensitive to chemicals, the cheap foreign furniture offgasses.

    I have had very good luck with everything I have purchased from Wayfair!

    I purchased brands I was familiar with the quality. Only hard surfaces though. Soft furniture should be tested for sit.

    I have a trade account with Wayfair and have been very pleased. I actually bought a $3k dining table (that I had seen in person). One of the leaves was scratched and when I asked for a replacement leaf, they sent me a whole new table no questions asked. It was cheaper for them to let me keep the old table than to ship it back, so I ended up with 2 $3k dining tables for the price of one! (I kept all the leaves and donated one to charity)

    I have had uniformly good experiences with Wayfair, including with returns of large furniture. This prices are very good and they're great to work with.

    I've purchased rugs, light fixtures, and such from wayfair. I've even taken a chance with purchasing clearance returned items. Everything has been just as described and shipped well. I would just caution on buying any furniture online, without first seeing it in person.

    Horrible company. My package was delivered, yet it was not delivered INSIDE my property but outside my property gate and subsequently stolen. The company insisted it was delivered, although I showed proof that the delivery photo showed it placed in the public street. The company insisted on a police reports filed within 2 weeks of my claim, yet I was leaving for Europe for 3.5 weeks, the same day Wayfair requested the police report. Obviously, I could not provide such. So, they took my money, take zero responsibility for the loss of the package ( although I am sure they are insured), took my money and could care less about their customers. I will never buy from this company again!
