Interesting points. It is true high quality furniture can retain value.
I hope that if someone has a fixed budget, but can be confident they are finding the best prices, they will by definition buy higher quality goods.
We certainly could offer reasonable financing terms for these higher quality goods.
- dillondoyle 5y agoTotally. I think your service could add value there in doing manual curation and better cataloging across. Like 'high quality' or search walnut veneer or no cheap fiberboard lol. Crowd reviews are all gamed now it seems. i would be into some more sources of professional curation. Financing in general isn't great. Not an easy thing to fix. Personally I'm into having it as a service for low income Americans through USPS. write-off losses or take them out of tax over very long time frames. A few $k with low or no interest + reasonable long ish time to payback would be life saving for a lot of people
- lgabraham 5y agoYes, this is a great idea, and something I have been thinking about. A clear risk of our site right now is decision fatigue. Some users we have spoken about wanting to be guided through their purchasing journey. I think you're right mass reviews alone won't do this. We likely would use a partner like Affirm for financing. We don't want to emphasize it too heavily, but we do see it as an important tool in purchasing furniture.
