  1. How to Buy Furniture Online Without Getting Duped

  2. You may not be able to walk into a furniture store and browse the showroom, but that doesn’t mean you can’t buy furniture online. Many reputable websites sell new and pre-owned pieces from high-end designers at a discount. They remove the middleman so you can get a high-end piece of furniture for a much lower price than if you were to buy it in person. Some sites like these sell used furniture, usually at an even further discount than their pre-owned counterparts. However, many sites also sell cheap knockoffs or used pieces with false claims about their origin and materials used to make them. If you’re going to buy furniture online, here are some things you need to know before making your purchase: Research the Seller If you’re buying from one seller, you can be pretty certain of what you’re getting. However, if you’re buying from a site that resells furniture, then the furniture quality can vary from one piece to the next. To ensure you’re not buying from a site with a reputation for shoddy workmanship and materials, do a quick Google search for “[site name] reviews”. You’ll be able to see what other customers have to say about their experience with the site and what they think of the furniture they bought, and then you can buy the best quality furniture online. Beyond reading reviews, use a site like Trustpilot or SiteJabber to see what other people have said about the site. You’ll be able to see if other customers have reported issues with their order, like poor customer service, or if the furniture they received was of poor quality. Watch Out For Faux Rebounds

  3. Read the Fine Print Before you make your purchase, read through the site’s terms of service and return policy. You want to know what you’re getting into with both your credit card and the furniture you’re thinking about buying. Understand the type of warranty the furniture comes with. Is it made by the manufacturer? Or is it purchased from the retailer? If it’s the latter, you may not be able to get a claim or exchange it if there’s an issue with the piece. You also want to know if the showroom has a policy against returns. Some high-end furniture retailers will only sell showroom items at a significant discount online. If you buy online, you’re most likely out of luck if it’s not right for you. Check the Materials You want high-end materials like real leather, solid wood, and high-end fabrics that feel durable and soft. You also want to ensure the furniture’s stitching is high quality and doesn’t look like it won’t stand up to regular use. If the materials used to make the furniture aren’t listed, ask the seller for the specific type of materials used. If they refuse to tell you, that’s a red flag. You want to know what type of leather is used, what type of wood is used, and what type of fabric is used in the fabric-type furniture. Knowing what materials are used in the furniture you’re buying can help you determine if it’s worth the price you’re paying.

  4. Watch out for Faux Leather Real leather is a high-end material that feels soft, durable and looks rich. It’s also a bit pricey, which is why it’s often substituted with synthetic materials. Cotton-blend fabrics that are dyed dark and look like leather are likely synthetic. Leather is a natural material, so it’s unlikely that a synthetic material is genuine. There are synthetic materials that feel like real leather, but they don’t last as long. If a piece is selling for a lower price than its real leather counterparts, there’s a good chance it’s synthetic. The Dummy Check If you’re buying a sofa or other large piece of furniture, find a discreet place to check the stitching and seams on the piece. Make sure it’s stitched together well, and everything is sturdy. If you want to be sneaky about it, ask the salesperson to take the piece out of the store for a few minutes. That way, you can check it out without feeling like you’re being intrusive. Bottom line Furniture is an expensive proposition, and it’s unlikely that you’ll find a piece of furniture in a brick- and-mortar store that isn’t overpriced. That’s why you should buy furniture online; you can get the same or better quality furniture at a lower price. However, you must be careful and ensure you’re buying a legitimate piece of furniture. You want to research the site you’re buying from, read the fine print, check the materials, and ensure you’re not falling for faux rebounding. If you do all of this, you’ll be able to get high-end furniture without having to break the bank.
