A Few Main Advantages Of Online Unfinished Furniture Shops

 

Whenever possible, I would recommend buying bare wood furniture at a brick & mortar shop vs. purchasing from one of your area's online unfinished furniture stores. There are two primary reasons for this. First, because price is often at least one of the reasons for buying unfinished furniture (that's sometimes in the neighborhood of 50% cheaper than its finished cousins) and you erode some portion of the price advantage if you have to pay shipping charges associated with buying from a web-based unfinished furniture store.

Second, and maybe more compelling than the price factor is the fact that buying unfinished furniture is, by and large, a tactile experience. You get to walk through the showroom of a brick and mortar establishment. Reach out and touch the wood. Feel it beneath your hands. The sights and smells of a brick and mortar shop, combined with on-site expertise and the reality that you get to physically inspect the piece before buy and select the one that's just perfect for you...all that is lost if you shop via a web-based vendor.

Obviously, not all area has a brick and mortar store within a reasonable driving distance (where my wife and I live currently, on the Carolina coast, we have none in driving distance, contrasted with when we lived in the suburbs of Atlanta, there were three close at hand!), and in that case, shopping with one of the online unfinished furniture stores might be your only option.

Whatever your reasons for looking for a web-based vendor of unfinished furniture, the 3 main elements you will want to keep in the forefront of your mind before deciding to give someone your business are these:

Price - This is perhaps an even bigger consideration when buying from an online vendor than it would be when buying from a brick and mortar shop, since you'll probably have to factor in shipping costs to the total price of whatever you purchase. To make sure you're getting the best value for your money, both of these costs must be evaluated.

Selection - If you like bare wood furniture, you'll probably want more than one piece, and there's no reason to have to run all over the web and set up scads of new accounts with many different internet unfinished furniture stores. Just make sure you find one with a killer selection, and you're all set.

Shipping & Return Policies - When choosing from among the various online unfinished furniture stores, pay special attention to this, and in general, award extra points to the store with the most favorable shipping costs. Odds are good that you will never have to use the company's return policy, but any time you purchase from one of the web vendors, there's always a chance that the piece you buy could be damaged in transit to you, so as long as the online vendor has a return policy, you should be fine.

A quick "test" of the online unfinished furniture store you've selected would be to contact them and ask a question about one of their pieces, and note how long it takes them to reply to you. While not fool-proof, it is a pretty reliable indicator of the overall level of support service you can expect, should problems arise.

My first, best recommendation would be to use local brick and mortar establishments whenever possible, but using the outline above, you should have little difficulty in selecting from among the online unfinished furniture stores out there, should your circumstances dictate buying online.
