Do you buy furniture online?

Hi there! If you're new here, and enjoy what you're reading, you can subscribe to my feed. Thanks for visiting!

I am looking for a few pieces of simple furniture, just a small working table with a swivel chair and a couple of bookshelves or a chest of drawers for storage. I don’t know why in the first place I didn’t think of Ikea since they are having some year end sales. It only dawned on me when I received a copy of their sales catalogue.

Before that, since I didn’t have much time to go out shopping, I was doing some searches online to see if I can find some designs which match what I had in mind. I was just searching for pictures of the items but I came across so many online furniture and furnishing shops on a free link directory. Of course they aren’t based in Malaysia. I don’t think these kinds of items are popularly shopped for online in this part of the world.

It just amazed me that people do shop for their home furnishings online. I would like to touch and feel the items before making the decision to buy them because they aren’t cheap to start with.

Are you the type who find it a great idea for shop for your furniture online? How do you make that decision if it’s a good piece? Although it’s convenient and I am one who’s definitely an advocate for online shopping, I really don’t know how to shop for furniture online!

Interesting idea. But unless it’s a reputable furniture shop like Ikea or one that is established, then I’ll consider buying it online.
