Sites like Joss and Main, Birch Lane, etc.

[dr.girlfriend]

What is the deal with these sites where you have to give your email to browse?  Are they really good deals compared to just watching store sales and coupons?  If we do this home addition we'll probably be buying quite a few big-ticket furniture items, so I want to get the sense of where to find the deals now.  Any sites I should sign up for in particular?

I’ve used Joss and Main. The site carries what Wayfair has. I got a chandelier for almost half off the Wayfair price. I was super giddy. I had already picked it out after searching Wayfair, but couldn’t pull the trigger because of the price.

It’s defintely worth looking at what Joss and Main has.

Birch Lane, Joss and Main, AllModern and Wayfair are the same company.

When you go to Joss and Main, if you wait a second, there is a "no thanks" you can click on and then browse.

Oh, weird.  I had no idea!

I have had some good experiences with Joss and Wayfair. My current duvet is from Birch Lane

I will warn against One Kings Lane though. I have gotten a couple of good buys from them but have had far too many “this looks NOTHING like the advertised photo!” experiences. While they have always been good about accepting the returns when I’m unhappy, I won’t shop there any longer.

Good to know.  I've been poking around a little and I love that Wayfair / Joss and Main / Birch Lane have reviews.  I think that really helps you prepare, good and bad, for what you'll be getting.  A lot of times I'll really like the picture, but then I see the customer photos or reviews and am like..."Maybe not."

And they have a lot of the same stuff, but the name might be different.

I got a great deal on a pair of occasional chairs last year on J&M. I had been keeping an eye on them for a few months and they had a great coupon or sale around this time. I had also found them on birch lane (or maybe wayfair) under a different name for more than double the price. I'm sure it happens the other way as well.

I do like J&M and have bought a few rugs from there that I love. I also hate giving out my email just to browse...

another site I really like and have had good luck with is Home Decorators .com - I think they're owned by home depot... I have a leather club chair and a storage ottoman that look great and have held up well over the past 10 years (with a kiddo too!)

Oh! And I just remembered my awesome experience with Wayfair. My bathroom light fixture has four glass shades but arrived with one shattered. Wayfair had a new shade shipped out to me same day. It was truly zero hassle (I was expecting to have to ship the entire fixture back to them to get a replacement)

This is the worst part! I have been stalking light fixtures and have been searching all of the sites. Joss & Main has been the cheapest so far for what I've been looking at.

I've purchased multiple items from Wayfair and loved each and everyone one. Definitely suggest that site as a furniture site!
