Pay attention to user reviews
User reviews can often give a good insight into the quality of a piece of furniture. Reviews can also give you advance notice of any defects or false advertising so you don’t waste your money or time on a faulty product.
Furniture with predominantly one or two star reviews should be avoided. Reviewers usually dig deeper into a bad review, but if you see something bombarded with low ratings, it’s usually for good reason. Sometimes the item is a scam that doesn’t work properly or isn’t of the quality it’s advertised for. Other times, bad reviews may just be for shipping-related reasons.
Reading a handful of both positive and negative user reviews can give you a much better sense of how good a piece of furniture really is. Reading reviews is especially important for large items like televisions, beds, and couches.
