Wayfair Finds That Look Way More Expensive Than They Really Are

affordable wayfair furniture

If you’re shopping for furniture on a budget, Wayfair is a go-to retailer with a huge selection. But shopping on Wayfair’s site is not exactly the curated experience you’d expect from retailers like Pottery Barn or West Elm. Wayfair sells hundreds of thousands of furniture and decor items across every category you could imagine. Their selection doesn’t adhere to one specific style or price point, and—if I’m being honest—some of the items available are of dubious quality and taste. However, if you take the time to sort through the pages upon pages of results, there are some seriously great pieces to be found.

I spend a lot of time shopping on Wayfair (and shopping online in general) while creating content for The Everygirl, so I know a thing or two about how to spot the hidden gems among the junk. First of all, pay attention to the materials list and opt for pieces made of solid wood and real natural materials over their manufactured counterparts where possible. For peace of mind, you can also start your furniture search within the Wayfair Verified category. Items with this label have been inspected by Wayfair’s product experts for quality, functionality, and fair pricing, so you know you’re getting a good product. And whether the item has been verified or not, always read the reviews.

Keep scrolling for some of my favorite Wayfair furniture and decor finds that look way more expensive than they really are.

Linen Upholstered Wingback Bed

I’ve been eyeing this wingback bed for months now, and the next time it goes on sale, I’m finally going to pull the trigger. The regular price of $900 is still steep, but similar options at retailers like Pottery Barn and West Elm go for upwards of $1,500, so it’s still a good deal, especially if you buy it on sale. Because this bed requires a box spring, it sits up higher than a basic platform bed, which, in my opinion, makes it look more high-end and substantial. It also comes in a wide range of fabric options to match any style of bedroom, but I think I’ll go with a classic neutral linen for a timeless look.

Vintage Oak Pedestal End Table

This is another one of those pieces I’ve had my eye on for ages. The scalloped-edge top makes this piece extra special, and the French-style base gives it an antique look. It just might be exactly the thing I need to give my living room a more vintage feel.

Raffia Scallop Shade Lamp

With its scalloped raffia shade and light blue base, this lamp is giving coastal grandma in the best way possible. A similar version from Serena & Lily will cost you nearly $300 at regular price, but this lamp from Wayfair is under $70. Still a bit of a splurge for a table lamp, but way more wallet-friendly in comparison.

Midcentury 2-Drawer Solid Wood Nightstand

I’ve always loved the look of West Elm’s midcentury nightstand, but at $399 apiece, I just can’t justify the price. This Wayfair version, however, features the same two-drawer design, midcentury silhouette, and caramel-toned wood finish for less than half the price. Do yourself a favor and buy one for each side of your bed for less than what you’d pay for one at West Elm.
