I just tried it and found the same or a similar thing. They advertise a low price, but it only applies to one color or finish, and they often don't have that in stock. The colors/finishes they do have in stock are more expensive.

Some of these websites are weird. Last week I used a "10% off" coupon at Hayneedle that somehow brought my cart total from $924 to $311. I have the $311 in an email confirmation and used an Amex in case some dispute arises.

Im not familiar with Wayfair, but that doesn't sound right. Talk about bait and switch! Sorry this is happening! 😐

It's possible. I recall reading a few years ago that the company attributed its lack of profitability to the bad economy and low home ownership among Millenials. But even now with improving demographics they still lose money.

Hopefully, knowing you got it for the cheaper price will put DH at ease!

They just let go about 3% of their workforce about 2 weeks ago. Scaled up staffing to support an increase in sales that they didn't reach apparently.

I was surprised to see the company has a $7.5B market cap even now. It's not at all clear that growth will solve the problem of awful gross margins, and layoffs aren't very consistent with their anticipated sales growth. They have been growing sales, but it just so far has produced bigger losses.

Honesty, Wyfair is a horrible company.

Beyond the nightmare I had trying to get a bed form them and having to threaten a chargeback to a refund processed correctly i would never deal with them again.

Well I am quite pleased with them. They honored the price which was 160.00 lower than the listed price. It was delivered today and a very nice sturdy tv stand.

I've run about $3300 through my card with them and have been very happy with what I bought and with the customer service. Maybe I was lucky?

Too fast! Wish I had known they were so fast. I bought a bunch of stuff on a late Thurs. (new tl- yipee) evening online shopping spree and planned on the packages arrivals during the following work week. Well Saturday UPS and Fedex delivered on Saturday....to my DH....while I was out "shopping".

(btw: usps screwed things up for my shopping-stealthiness by delivering on Sundays....dang!) #busted

It was really easy to assemble and it looks soooo nice I am very pleased. It was a little smaller than we anticipated so the price they honored was great because the list price really wouldn't be worth it. But it's sturdy and looks great

I have to be careful now with our darn Alexa, when I get stuff from amazon it sends a notification and it lights up a yellow ring, I have to remember to clear it out or he checks it. busted................................

Glad you like it and glad it was an easy assembly. I put a Wardrobe in my cart, not until checkout did I notice the measurement was off from what the picture had me to believe was taller than myself. Still searching.

I really like this card and the pymt options. Do you like Overstock or is that redundant? I've never shopped OS.
