The Bad

  • Warranty information difficult to find
While there is much to like about Wayfair, there are a few glitches which became apparent in our investigation. The website uses tabs on the FAQ and on each item's pages. These do not always work as designed and the only way that our reviewers could get the information to come up in the display was to close the tab and reopen it. This happened 6/10 times in a random sampling of pages. It can be difficult to locate some other information on Wayfair.com. For example, we could not find any product warranty information through Wayfair.com. Customers may need to contact customer service to request warranty information for specific products.

Customers can expect excellent customer service as well as plenty of opportunities to save time and money through Wayfair.com.

Wayfair offers easy terms and ways to purchase items you find on their website. I have purchased several items I use in my computer room such as storage cabinets to store my cd's and tools I use in my office and personal life the cabinets I got are stylish and the company stands behind their merchandise .If there is anything you need in regards to extra parts or missing pieces they expedite their service transactions and repair parts orders excellently and with speed so you get more than you ask for . Wayfair has always been a great company to do business with as they treat their customers like kings.

LOVE Wayfair! I can always find the perfect item at a reasonable price. On the rare occasion when I've had to return an item, I received prompt, professional, and courteous customer service. All items have been very well made and I will continue to this awesome company!

Wayfair offers better quality products and excellent business pricing. I formerly shopped at Overstock for many years. I began receiving really cheap junk. One mattress cover was ripped apart after 1X wash, a bed frame literally didn't work right...sagged in the middle right to the floor. Instead of sending back a bed we had to "fix it" using plywood and an extra mattress layer. I got tired of the cheap junk I was regularly receiving from overstock so I tried Wayfair. I had an issue ordering an item on one occasion and when I called customer service they gave me an additional 20% off for the inconvenience. I sincerely appreciate that because I have calculated far too many hours of my life wasted on customer service issues in general! Try Wayfair, they also have a huge selection of pretty much everythig. Infinitely better quality products. My new go-to-first.

So I finally purchased my daughter a twin size bed (😭😭😭) a few weeks ago through Wayfair. It arrived within the week I ordered it. It was easy to assemble and at the time I was very pleased with my purchase especially for the price! I realized after looking at it last night, there were tears in the headboard. I contacted Wayfair via email today and received a call within minutes from customer service. He was not only willing to send me a new bed, he offered 20% off of that purchase. Told me I could donate or keep the bed. Customer service went above and beyond. I just wanted to share my experience with you in case you are looking for a nice,affordable bed with a company that clearly cares for their customers.

Wayfair is an okay company. They do have a lot of options for anything. Earlier, they used to be on the cheaper side but now they are a little more expensive as compared to their competetors. Their customer service is excellent. And I think that's their saving grace.

Great customer service. We had a board come with a large crack in it. My maintenance man said he could glue it and make it work, but I'd paid full price and wanted it to be "right." Contacted Wayfair and it was replaced quickly

Wayfair is like Amazon meets Ikea. Their prices go up and down, they will have the same piece of furniture with the same photographs... named and priced differently, and everything feels a little "made in china", but, having said that, their customer service is excellent. I've ordered 3 pieces of flat pack (build it yourself) furniture. With each item, everything was incredible well made, but there was something off, like holes not drilled, or instructions missing a rather crucial part, and in one a panel was completely snapped in half. However their customer service is easy to use, fast and efficient, and every quirk was resolved resulting in a finished and really beautiful product, that looks a lot more expensive than it was. Would I buy machinery from here... not sure, but for household furniture and fixtures, totally recommend!

Mayfair offers a huge selection in their giant store locations. Their website is also huge with an ever-changing inventory. At Wayfair the price is always right. It's hard to believe that other stores charge so much when Wayfair does the opposite. I like the variety, and they have so many price points that I can always find something within my budget. Styles are fresh and current. and they only sell quality products. I am always impressed with the store staff as they are very helpful.

Have ordered quite a few pieces from them. Being on a budget, I like the fact that they have frequent sales and they will highlight items you've looked at in the past when they go on sale. I also had a glitch once with delivery of a piece that got lost in transit somewhere. Can no longer recall specifics, but they were wonderful resolving the issue!!

My first purchase from Wayfair was an area rug and it was very good quality. The updates on tracking were just about very day and I received it today which was estimated date. I believe this is a great place to buy online without having to worry if I made a mistake. They are a good reputable company and I read the reviews before I purchased and they were all positive.

An exterior door knob I had ordered for my daughter’s home locked her out at 1am with no keys, phone or tools. When the sun came up she went to a neighbor (daughter is new to neighborhood, which is not the safest) & called a locksmith ($75) to get her into her home. I related the story to Wayfair team member when asking for a refund on the defective knob and they refunded all of the knobs I had purchased which much more than covered the locksmith fee. They are compassionate and amazing! And I am not a huge purchaser!

I have nothing but praise for Wayfair. I have ordered thousands of dollars of rugs, lamps, a shower, chandeliers, tables, bedding...you name it. Everything came when they told me it would. One piece that was damaged was immediately replaced. Their Customer Service department is exceptional! Everyone who seems my home wants to know where I shop. I don't hesitate to promote Wayfair.

When the old sofa in our family room finally collapsed, we needed a replacement right away. Since our schedules were full, and we did not have time to personally visit many stores, we decided to see what was available online. After identifying the type and style of product we wanted, we found something similar at Wayfair for a better price than we could have found anywhere else. We ordered the sofa, and it arrived quickly. Some assembly was required, as you might imagine, but it was simple. Admittedly, the quality is not the best, but for its use in a teen romp room, and for the overall shopping experience, it is perfect.

I haven't bought too many things off Wayfair but the items I did buy I was very impressed with the whole process. For one, they have an overwhelming amount of great furniture items on their site. I bought some bar stools which arrived quickly and were beyond my expectations of pretty. One did have a stick on the fabric part I was having a hard time getting off I contacted costumer service and within two days I has another part of my stool. I was beyond impressed as I wasn't expecting that at all. I have not had my stools for 3 years and still love them just as much and they have held up nicely.

Bought a Lucia console table from Wayfair. It arrived a day earlier than promised (great) and was easy to assemble. It was the perfect size for the intended spot. I like the finish of the table but unfortunately there was a noticeable gouge on the top shelf. I Thought about returning it, but didn’t want the bother. I am disappointed Wayfair (or third party) did not Properly inspect the product before shipping it to me. There was no damage to the box so gouge was done before shipping.

Their customer service was outstanding I ordered furniture for my house and I was having a party and it was guaranteed to be at my house on a certain date and then it got pushed back a week and by then I already got rid of all my furniture. They gave me a discount on the furniture I bought and offered to pay for the rental.

The price was great, the product was a good value and quality. But, the shipping company they used was a nightmare. They didn't show up when they stated they would and left the item beat up and damaged on my porch when they had been instructed not to do that. If I were going to order a large item from Wayfair again, I would need assurance that they were going to use a different shipping company. They did issue a 50% refund and I kept the damaged item, but I would rather have had it arrive undamaged and at the time it had been scheduled.

Purchased the wrentham barrel chair I was very happy with the look. I decided to wipe down the wood with a damp cloth and the amount of dirt that came off was insane my cloth was black and it's not completely level a bit wobbly how disappointing! This chair on the sight was at regular price over a thousand dollars but they have it listed for half price in my opinion this chair is definitely not worth a thousand and not worth five hundred. I would expect something at that price range to be in top condition not to mention I forgot to add in there was a nail slightly sticking out along the side of the chair. What's wrong with this is you cant buy anything anymore with quality!!

I’ve purchased a lot of items from Wayfair without any problems. Three weeks ago I ordered an Alcott Hill Corte comforter set, which is clearly a mint color. When it arrived, it was a different product, VI New York, sage green, and called them. After many phone calls and texts we decided I should try again to order the Alcott Hill Corte that I wanted. But I got the exact same WRONG item. No one has helped me get what I want. Customer Service has been horrible in this case. How can you order one brand and get something completely different TWICE?? So I guess I’m never going to get what I want! Apparently these two brands have the same SKU number!

Purchased a tv stand. Great price. I love it. FedEx left it in the rain and there was water damage. Tried to file a claim and it was denied by FedEx. Wrote Wayfair asking if there was anything they could do. They replaced the damage piece free of charge. That's great customer service.

Love Wayfair! I bought a personalized Toy chest and it had a damaged piece. They sent me the replacement and a day later I received a Little Tikes picnic table with an umbrella for free because of the damaged item. It was worth 120.00 retail. I mean that is top notch customer service. The old days of making the customer happy. Really it was above and beyond. My granddaughter has a wood chest to use till she is old.

I purchased a total of three items from Wayfair: headboard, faucet and floor rug. (1) The headboard was moderately priced and made of brown faux leather. Additionally, the product had a very strong fume that gave me a respiratory illness for a month. Over time, it peeled and needed to be recovered. (2) The faucet was my favorite purchase. It went very well with my one-hole granite sink in my rental property. (3) My recent purchase was a 7' x 9' rug. The pile is very thin and the edges have a cheap Serger stitch. I wanted to return it but settled on a refund of slightly more than the shipping.

I absolutely love Wayfair. I have bought many different home goods from them. My last purchase was an outdoor rug. When it arrived one of the ends was frayed possibly from the shipping. I took a picture and sent it to customer service. Within 24 hours they had a replacement rug for me on the way and told me to donate the frayed rig that arrived. This is just one example of this outstanding company that goes above and beyond.

Love, love, love Wayfair!! I order from them all the time and I have never been disappointed. The closest kits were nicer than what I thought they would be. The cushion for my patio furniture were amazing. The pics online look good but then the item is delivered and the items are so much better than the pics. The cushions were the most beautiful vibrant colors. They were firm and comfortable. The delivery is always on schedule. If ever I need to make a return, there is never a problem and it is so easy. I would definitely recommend Wayfair they also have amazing deals all the Tim.

I've found some great buys on this app, but have to watch some of the false advertising ! They will show , for example, a chair that they claim is regular $9,999.00, but on sale for $277, I paid the latter, but no one in their right mind would think it was a regular price of almost $10,000 🙄🙄, it would have to cook for me and clean house for that price 😅

Wayfair makes it so easy to shop for furniture and home goods. We recently bought all new light fixtures for our house and I was able to go through so many choices from the comfort of home. It would have taken a long time to visit so many stores. I like how they include customer pictures of the items in some of the reviews. It really helps me make my decisions on what I buy.

We ordered a run and a gas firepit for the back yard and everything we ordered showed up on time, in tact and was exactly what we wanted. I'm sure when we need to look for more home furniture products in the future we will use this company.

There are definite bargains to be had and I think that they have everything in the world in stock. It’s just really hard to discern the quality though because some of it is garbage and the reviews aren’t all trustworthy.
