Oddly enough, last night I was hanging out online, decided to look at some furniture and noticed that browsing for furniture online still largely stinks. Consequently, I agree that you've found a problem in need of a solution.
Unfortunately, while I'm a big fan of browsing for furniture online, I wouldn't buy anything more substantial than a bookshelf online. I don't buy furniture terribly often, so when I do, I look for things that are going to last and that I won't regret in six months. Consequently, I like to see/touch the fabric, look at the stitching, and generally take a good look before I make a buying decision. So, while I'd traffic your site, I don't think you'd ever make any money off of me. I'm not one to tweet out links to products on shopping sites, or even like many things on Facebook, so to top it off, I'd be a viral dud. :)
However, I'm just one perspective and I may not be your target, so don't put extraordinary amounts of faith in my opinion. Congratulations for going this far, plus front paging Hacker News, and best of luck with your idea!
- msrpotus 13y agoI'm actually somewhat similar. I'm moving relatively soon and was trying to find furniture but it's difficult to both find things and figure out how everything would fit together. I'm not worried so much about how long it'll last (other than general feel, I'm not sure I could tell) but it's generally not clear just how large the furniture would be.
