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 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!

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. I Unfortunately won’t be buying anything from Trent Austin Design again. Paul Morisset (Ottawa,Ontario)

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.

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 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 have used Wayfair for several home decor purchases. I love the variety of styles they have, and also how quickly the items ship to you. I have had to return a few things over the years, and they have always been easy to work with!

I have purchased a few pieces of furniture from Wayfair. The furniture is very pretty and easy to put together. However, it will not withstand daily use. So I put my furniture pieces in areas of my house that is to fill in spaces but not often used so it will look good longer and hopefully last longer. The furniture is very very light weight.

I ordered two semi-large Hanukkah decorations. There were two boxes which were thrown at my steps. They were dented; one made it to the landing and the other didn’t make it up the steps. I was not satisfied with the delivery. I usually use the boxes for storage but they were in bad condition. I recommend a different shipper.

Wayfair has a lot of variety, some of it is great, some of it is not so great. The categories offered for searching are nice because you can easily dial down what you are looking for. The site is user friendly. They offer a lot of coupons as well. Delivery is great and quick.

Wayfair has an extensive selection of furniture and home decor, making it a go-to for my home improvement needs. However, the inconsistency in product quality is a downside. While I've found some excellent pieces, I've also received items that didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of durability. Customer service has been responsive in addressing these issues, but quality control improvements are needed for a more consistent experience.

Going to be honest.....pretty addicted to Wayfair! I love the convenience of ordering online and when you get the sales or Open Box deals....great prices! The return can be a bit frustrating at times because you have to pay for the return....however, I have rarely (less than 5 times) had to do that. My house looks like a Wayfair advertisement! lol. I gave it 4 stars versus 5 stars because the return shipping can be quite pricey.

Wayfair has boat loads of items to choose from. Something for every on k I've ordered from here before. My packages always arrived on time and with no damages. My cats really enjoyed their cat tree and toys. I was a bit disappointed in the night stands I bought. They said night stands but they are more for someone who sleeps on a mattress on the floor. They always have awesome prices.

I’ve bought several things from them night stands, TV stand had to put them together but it was easy for me to do. My night stands are press wood so if you have a sleep apnea machine put something under it cause it did warp the top where it sat lesson learned but they look great. I would buy from them again and would recommend using them just read up on the product before you buy.

I think a few years ago Wayfare didn’t have a great name but in the past couple years I feel like it has gotten to be better quality stuff. My mom bought a hot tub through them which I thought was super crazy but she loves it. When she did run into a small problem they were very helpful and helped her right away. That alone I’m a super fan because she is kind of older and was very frustrated not knowing what to do

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.

I like the offerings and the pricing generally. Sometimes the pricing feels manipulated, with fake sales. And it’s becoming like Amazon - too much of the same product being sold by different suppliers under different SKY’s with different pricing.

Wayfair offers many high-end products at greatly reduced cost. I have had very good luck finding unusual items for my home such as lamps & side tables. I rated them only 4 stars because their website is difficult to navigate. But if you call and speak with a customer service representative, THAT is easy! Their people know their products.

I love Wayfair for the ideas they have and the variety of home goods. The drawback to Wayfair is that many of their items come damaged and it is too much of a pain to return or exchange. Their prices are fair (it's in the name) and there are options you might not find elsewhere.

We purchased a ton of items for our new home from them and were happy with all of them! The only issue we had was they sent us the wrong color cat tree once and were very hard to deal with when trying to fix the problem! But usually when something goes wrong they are easy to work with in resolving the problem!
