If your desire is to acquire modern sofas for the first time online, you should check these 3 steps below!
Make a list of potential furniture stores
When looking for a modern sofa or any other piece of furniture, we usually have certain stores in mind. It is important to make a list that contains each one of them and then apply the steps below.
But first! If you don't know which stores to place on your list, start by doing a Google search with your modern sofa of choice. Here we have put an example of how we see the search results of the Woodrow sofa:
The first results are usually the websites that have the best reputation. Another way to add stores to the list is by asking friends or family for a recommendation.
In addition, you can also search on social networks such as Pinterest through hashtags about furniture or interior design.
Check the reputation of the stores
One way to check this factor is by going to online communities like Reddit or Quora. There, you will find numerous communities that can give you real reviews about stores and the quality of their modern sofas.
To find these communities, simply type in the search engine keywords such as: interior design tips, furniture recommendation, or even placing the decorative style in which you are interested. These can be: mid-century, modern, minimalist, or even industrial.
Also, one of my favorite tips is to search within blogs like Houzz or Apt Therapy. Since these blogs are espcialized they are specialized in interior design, usually contain a lot of information about reputable furniture stores. In addition, in the comments you will always find active people commenting on the products.
This is perhaps the best tips of all. By having a physical headquarters, you will have a fiscal address to which to complain in case things do not go so well. On the other hand, that they offere5d customer support is a very valuable plus because normally these people help you with any questions in the purchase process.
Customer support also gives some peace of mind when buying because you know that behind that store there is someone willing to accompany you in the process.
Check that it uses the HTTPS protocol
HTTPS is basically "a protocol that allows establishing a secure connection between the server and the client, which cannot be intercepted by unauthorized persons". This will give you some relief when buying modern sofas online since you will not have to worry about your connection being invaded by strangers.
To verify that a website uses this protocol, just use a tool like "SSL Check Tool". To do this, simply copy the URL of the potential store to choose and enter it in the mentioned tool.
Here's an example using the Manhattan Home Design URL:
