      Last two times I’ve ordered from them, I’ve wound up with extra stuff. I ordered a set of 8 patio cushions and received 12. Ordered a patio set and coffee table and received a whole extra coffee table.

      Quality, as you said, isn’t great. IKEA can be a pain to get to (for me), but you know their stuff is designed well.

      My favorite Wayfair story is when I ordered an entertainment cabinet. The majority was brown, but the doors were white. One box comes in, packed tightly, it’s obvious that nothing is missing from the box, but I have no white pieces. Missing the doors plus all the hardware to put it together.

      Contact customer service explain the problem, that I think there’s supposed to be a second box. OK, we’ll send another. Same thing, one box, packed tightly, same pieces missing. Call again, explain again, they send out the same thing a third time. Finally I just cancelled my order and threw all three “Box A’s” into the dumpster.

      It’s the Amazon of furniture, although I rarely have as many issues with the cheap Chinese crap from Amazon. Several times I’ve gotten furniture with missing pieces and then the item was out of stock or discontinued so I had like 90% of a bedframe but it was just enough that it wasn’t safe to use so I had to spend an hour breaking it down to take to a dumpster and then spend another hour finding a replacement.
