A video can't show me how a fabric will look under certain light, or how it will compare against my rug. A video can't tell me that while the piece of furniture looks nice, the drawers are really cheaply made and don't slide nicely. A video can't tell me that what looks like a nice finish actually feels like cheap plastic. If you have suggestions for how to tackle that, I'd be very interested. There's some things though I just can't see myself ever buying online, and unfortunately retailers are trying to shift more and more of their purchases there without the benefits of things like free in-store shipping/returns. If they did that and I could see it in-store, and return it free, I'd totally do that in a heart beat. I bet the shipping rates and warehousing costs would be low enough to be worth it.
