E-commerce furniture refers to the online buying and selling of furniture products through electronic platforms such as websites, mobile apps, and online marketplaces. This enables customers to browse a wide range of furniture items, make purchases, and have them delivered to their homes without visiting physical stores. E-commerce platforms offer several advantages, including convenience, a diverse selection of products, competitive pricing, and the ability to compare prices and features easily.
The primary types of e-commerce furniture include ready-to-assemble (RTA) and assembled furniture. Ready-to-assemble (RTA) furniture items are shipped unassembled in flat boxes and require assembly by the end-user using basic tools such as a screwdriver or hammer. These products include beds and mattresses, sofas and armchairs, entertainment units, storage units, tables and desks, among others. They are available in various materials such as wood, metal, plastic, leather, and glass, catering to residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
