Online Unfinished Furniture Dealers

Whenever possible, I would suggest shopping for bare wood furniture at a brick and mortar shop rather than buying from an online unfinished furniture store. There are actually two primary reasons for this. First, since price is often at least one of the reasons for getting unfinished furniture (that is often in the neighborhood of 50% cheaper than its finished relatives) and you erode some portion of the price advantage if you need to pay transport charges associated with buying from an online unfinished furniture store.

Second, and perhaps more compelling than the price aspect is the fact that buying unfinished furniture is, by and large, a tactile experience. You get to walk through the showroom of a local establishment. Go and touch the wood. Feel it beneath your hands. The sights and smells of a brick and mortar store, combined with on-site expertise and the fact that you get to physically inspect the piece prior to purchase and choose the one that's just suitable for you...all that is lost if you shop through an online dealer.

Of course, not every area has a brick and mortar shop within a reasonable driving distance (where my wife and I stay now, on the Carolina coast, we have none in driving distance, contrasted with when we resided in the suburbs of Atlanta, there were three close by!), and in that case, shopping with one of the online unfinished furniture stores might be your only option.

Whatever your reasons for looking for an online supplier of unfinished furniture, the three key aspects you'll want to keep in the forefront of your mind before deciding to give somebody your business are these:

Price - This is perhaps an even bigger consideration when shopping from an online vendor than it might be when purchasing from a local shop, because you'll likely have to factor in shipping charges to the total price of whatever you purchase. In order to make sure you're receiving the best value for your money, both of these costs must be considered.

Selection - If you'd prefer bare wood furniture, you'll probably want more than one piece, and there's no reason to run all over the internet and set up scads of new accounts with many different online unfinished furniture stores. Ensure you find one with a killer variety, and you're all set.

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

A speedy "test" of the online unfinished furniture stores you've selected would be to make contact with them and ask a question about any of their items, and note how long it takes them to reply to you. With no fool-proof, it's a pretty reliable indicator of the overall level of customer service you may expect, should difficulties arise.

My first, best suggestion would be to use local brick and mortar establishments whenever possible, but using the outline above, you should have little difficulty in selecting from one of the online unfinished furniture stores available, should your circumstances specify purchasing online.
