Furnishing an STR remotely

Marc Shin
Posted

Hello,

I'm in a time crunch, and I need to furnish an STR. I need recommendations for furniture stores where inventory is generally readily available and I don't have to wait weeks for the furniture to arrive.

Thoughts on Target, or Walmart, or Sam's club furniture?  Or Ikea furniture?   What's the best furniture that is relatively sturdy and is readily available in most stores?

TIA

Congrats on the purchase @Marc Shin! I would avoid Ikea or Wal Mart, the durability over time is poor and you will spend a lot of time (and/or money paying for help) assembling and unpacking the items. Sam's Club might have some OK couches but probably a more dated look. Avoid Wayfair as well, they are simply a middle man/drop shipper and they often 2-3X+ the price and have the other company ship it to you. 

Castlery and Article have very nice couches and chairs without breaking the bank. Them along with Pottery Barn and Joss & Main are good for dressers and nightstands, which IMO are the toughest to shop for. Most of the remainder of what you need can be found on Amazon. 

Good luck with your setup and launch!
