You're right about great furniture and objects. We've tried putting a local focus on some of their selection (as well as the selection from additional non-etsy sellers), by selecting/curating furniture dealers from the DC and Baltimore areas so that would-be buyers can have a look in person:

Especially in regards to furniture, buying online, sight unseen still isn't a great proposition. We don't expect it will ever be.
- lobster_johnson 9y agoCool. Would love something like this for NYC.
- benjaminjackman 9y agoPerhaps with AR or VR but it's still hard to imagine supplanting the experience without an actual tactile connection. Furniture isn't something you buy everyday or even year typically. If I am going to spend any amount of money on a couch or chair or whatever I'd like to sit in it atleast once before I do (though perhaps that's just me others may be different). Perhaps though online could be a great first step filtering process. Find a bunch of stuff that fits the rough parameters of what you are looking for and looks good in your space then go someplace to try them out with a well kept appointment and ready to go same day follow you home delivery should you decide to buy something. Maybe this already exists? I haven't had to buy any furniture is several years so not sure what the current state of the markets is.
