The 30 Best Online Furniture Stores of 2024

Pottery Barn

Chances are that you’re already familiar with Pottery Barn’s traditional and timeless furniture, either from their in-store locations or online selection. They offer a wide array of moveables for all rooms in your home, including sofas, beds, mattresses, and even outdoor furnishings for your patio. The price range is definitely higher than budget retailers, but they do have some affordable offerings; plus, their pieces are built to last. There are also plenty of options for customization, including sofas and beds.

Pottery Barn also has an assortment of fair-trade and eco-conscious goods in case you’re trying to be a bit more intentional with your purchases. The brand also stands out for having an Accessible Home collection with ADA-compliant furniture. Custom furniture can take several weeks to ship, but if you need furniture ASAP, you can browse the In-Stock Furniture section. While they allow returns within a 30-day time period for non-custom items, you’ll need a receipt in order to do so. You can also take advantage of Pottery Barn’s free interior design services to make sure that you’ll be satisfied with your purchase.  

Return Window: 30 days; custom furniture cannot be returned | Shipping Cost: From $159; varies based on order total, item price, location, and delivery service

Wayfair

Similar to Amazon, Wayfair is another online shopping behemoth with a smorgasbord of products. Product categories extend beyond furniture to include appliances, kitchen necessities, bedding, and even power tools so you could DIY your entire house. Though to be sure, Wayfair's main draw is their furniture selection, which is budget-friendly thanks to their low prices, frequent sales, and free shipping on orders over $35.

While their inventory is enormous, they have lots of product filters available for each category to help you narrow down your search and streamline the shopping process. However, furniture from Wayfair isn’t made with the most durable materials, so if you’re looking for something that’s higher quality or something you won’t have to assemble yourself, you may want to try a different retailer. 

Return Window: 30 days | Shipping Cost: Free for most orders over $35

AllModern

As you may be able to tell from the name, AllModern specializes in modern, mid-century, and industrial-inspired furnishings. AllModern is one of Wayfair’s sister brands, so it’s no surprise that it offers the same speedy delivery that Wayfair has, which is free for orders over $35.

AllModern’s selection is on the refined side—the word “sleek” comes to mind when browsing their decorative objects, sofas, and chandeliers. Just because it’s more curated doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have a good assortment; they still offer basically anything you’d need to decorate your home, from mattresses to kitchen faucets. In case you get buyer’s remorse, AllModern also allows returns up to 30 days after delivery.

Target

Have you ever said that you were making a quick trip to Target and then walked out with an entire cart full of things you didn’t know you needed? Then you’re probably already familiar with the brand’s impressive furniture selection. Target is adept at taking the latest home design trends and turning them into affordable pieces for your space, and they have a variety of collections with designers like Jungalow and Levi’s to create homewares that are eye-catching and accessible.

Plus, their in-house brands cater to a variety of design styles, so you’ll be able to find something that fits your vibe without breaking the bank. Hearth & Hand with Magnolia offers farmhouse-style furniture and decor in collaboration with Johanna Gaines, Threshold is for traditionalists (there's also a Threshold collection done in collaboration with Studio McGee), Project 62 is full of gorgeous mid-century modern designs, and Opalhouse offers plenty of colorful and patterned boho pieces (including a collection with Jungalow). In case your purchase misses the mark, Target offers a 90-day period in which you can return it.  

Return Window: 90 days | Shipping Cost: Free standard shipping for orders over $35; some larger items may have an extra fee

World Market

World Market is named for its inventory of groceries, gifts, and homewares that come from all parts of the globe, though the latter definitely takes up the bulk of their goods. Its furniture covers styles ranging from shabby-chic to mid-century modern at amazing prices. Additionally, World Market carries artisan pieces to bring a unique touch to your space, though you should prepare to pay a bit more for those items.

World Market has some brick-and-mortar locations available, but you’ll find the best selection on their online store, where you can search based on room, room size, or design style. With their 60-day return policy, World Market gives you plenty of time to try out your purchase and ensure it's right for your home. 

Return Window: 60 days | Shipping Cost: From $8.95; varies based on order total

Castlery

Those who find shopping stressful will sigh with relief when they click on Castlery’s website. The modern furniture retailer allows you to shop by look, so you can browse their pre-styled rooms and select the items that catch your eye, as well as by type of furniture in case you’re looking for something specific. And, if you want your furniture to perfectly match, you can also peruse their chic furniture sets and save a little on your purchase.

That said, their return policy is only 14 days, which isn’t as lengthy as other retailers. Though, Castlery offers free fabric swatches so you can see the color and texture of your prospective purchase in person before you buy. 

Return Window: 14 days | Shipping Cost: From $19; varies based on order total and delivery location
