Most tables are too large, poor quality, or not in stock for months. I have been to Babette’s, White’s, Rooms to Go, Kent, and couple more. Kent had the most available, but just not exactly.

So did you buy furniture like, tables, tv table, couch, chairs, from Wayfair? If so, good, bad, ugly? If bad how was the return process. If you didn’t like it could you return?
I have purchased furniture from Wayfair and Amazon over the years. I read many reviews before I pull the trigger and have never been unhappy with the exception of color. I ordered some counter stools labeled as red but were actually stained brown with a reddish tint, like cherry wood. I kept them because they were a great price and I didn’t want the hassle of returning them. I painted them and I love them now. I’ve read returns to Wayfair are a pain so if I’m on the fence, I skip it. Many of the exact same items are available on Amazon so I usually compare prices. I would much rather purchase from Amazon as the returns are so easy. I also go to Bargains and Treasures periodically and have bought and sold through them. Great fun shopping there! As a side note, when we moved here, we kept our home in IL and had to replace the awful turnkey furniture left with our Villa. We went to purchase a sofa recliner identical to the one we liked in IL. The price was much higher here. We told them what we paid in IL and they matched that price. Prior to that experience, it never occurred to me to offer less than the ticket price on furniture. Lesson learned.
