Since last year, we have experienced so many changes to our lifestyle as we knew it, by now it’s become the new normal. It hasn’t been easy, and many areas of our lives have been affected. Just the way we shop, among many other things, has been transformed. From week to week we don’t know if we’re allowed to shop in person or not, as health authorities all over the world change rules when they need to.
Therefore, online shopping has become a must. We still need things, furniture being one of those must-haves. Whether it’s because this pandemic has made you realize that you should put more time and energy into your home and beautify your surroundings, or you have to get your own space because you crave space and privacy.
Whatever the reason, we compiled a list of 25 furniture stores that cater to online shopping to help you out. Some are strictly online and offer you some perks such as free shipping or free returns, and consulting agents to help you choose the best pieces that suit your needs.
When shopping online, make sure the store offers you good information about the product you are planning on buying, such as measurements, different types of materials, and read previous consumers’ reviews. They can be helpful for sure.
Yes, we know, it’s a lot more fun going in a store and trying out that sofa or bed yourself, or getting a feel for the fabric, but online shopping can be pretty satisfying.
You can do it at any time of day or night, put everything in your cart and think it over for as long as you feel (unless someone grabs that last item before you do!), and you don’t get pressure from salespeople that work on commission.
We feel that obvious names such as Amazon, Ikea, or even Walmart, Target, and Home Depot are so well known that they don’t need more promotion today.
We chose some of the smaller and less known stores that you might like to discover, and you might even like more if you give them a chance. So let’s see which ones we find the best online furniture stores you can shop at right now.
25. Burrow
A well-loved internet favorite, they specialize in sofas. If you look at one of our previous articles on sofas, we did a review on one of them, so you can read it if you’d like just so you can get an idea. But they do sell other items such as chairs, tables, shelves, ottomans, and more.
Most of their stuff is customizable, such as the leg finish, the sofa fabric, and color, whether or not you want tufted pillows or not, and so on. And all their shipping is free, need we say more?
24. Zinus
Their super fast shipping, not to mention free, is only one reason this company is so appreciated. All of their pieces can be assembled easily in under half an hour, with no tools required.

This direct-to-consumer high end furniture brand, Poly & Bark is a great place for first-time consumers. It makes customizable pieces that vary in prices from affordable to more expensive. The thing we love about them is that you can order the colors and fabrics you are thinking about, and they’ll send you the swatches for you to try out in your home before committing to anything.
They ship free, but if you want to return items keep the original packaging, otherwise there’s a 30% re-stocking fee.

They believe that beauty is in the details, and that ‘style is what you make it’. They are part of the Wayfair family, but their approach is a little different. Their customer service is excellent, which is why some prefer Joss & Main.
