Many people are more comfortable buying things online, including buying furniture. During the Covid-19 pandemic, buying furniture online has become commonplace. If this is your first time buying furniture online, you should pay close attention. There are several things to consider before buying online.

Check Shop
Buying furniture online can be very practical. You don’t have to go all the way to the store to buy the furniture you want. However, before buying make sure the online shop is trusted. After that, make sure that the shops are in good quality. Usually, good quality goods are followed by higher prices. If you are interested in buying vintage used goods, you also still have to make sure that the online shop is trusted. Currently, there are many online shops or online sellers on social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and furniture auctions on WhatsApp. If you are a beginner, it’s best to buy furniture online from someone you have known before to prevent scams.

Location
In transacting online, location is an important thing that you need to consider. The reason, of course, relates to the postage that will be charged to you, don’t let the shipping cost and the furniture you buy have almost the same value. If the price you have to pay for postage is more expensive, consider buying furniture in the same city to save on postage costs. You can also buy furniture directly by visiting the store. With the same item, you can save more on postage.

Brand
If you care deeply about brands, you can list them before buying online. Currently, there are many well-known domestic and foreign brands that can be purchased online.

Descriptive
Finding the type of furniture you want may be a breeze. Make sure you write the description of the item according to your wishes, for example vintage furniture, art deco furniture to Scandinavian style. In addition, you can also add furniture materials or materials that you want, for example, wood, leather, brass, and so on.

Check Carefully
If you buy a vintage item and then find a few scratches, don’t be discouraged yet. Ask the seller if the damage can be repaired. It’s different if you buy a new item, if there is damage, please contact the seller immediately. This usually happens, especially if you buy items that have to be traveled all day by car.

The seller usually provides a guarantee in case of damage during transit. Some sellers usually directly ask the buyer what the damage looks like, or ask the buyer to take a photo of the damage.
