I have mixed feelings about Wayfair. My hunch is that Amazon is eyeing the market and will aggressively target it once it becomes a focus. That would be interesting to see: Amazon's supply chain management is perhaps one of the best (maybe Walmart is about the same) and I don't think Wayfair would be able to compete.
Now, my personal experience with Wayfair has been mixed. They don't manufacture anything themselves, so its usually a hit or miss. I LOVE the bedframe I bought from them, which turned out to be actually manufactured by a Korean company called Zinus. However, a nice headboard that I purchased was of poor quality (it looks nice at first, but the wood is soft... dents easily. The workmanship is not very good, and this is clear even to an untrained eye like mine).

- ghaff 9y agoShowrooming any significant amount of furniture takes a lot of room. At that point you might as well have a separate store in the right location which may or may not be the same setting as the high-end grocery store. And, at that point, you've just reinvented the furniture store.
