Startup Idea: The Best Way to Buy Furniture – Would You Use This?

Just recently got in the market for home furniture. Found it a bit of a mess. Something like this could be useful - effectively like hipmunk, but for furniture. i.e. make the experience of understanding your options and finding what you want easier.

I like it.

I also noticed you guys are up in Toronto (my original hometown). If you want more candid feedback from someone in the market for furniture, or if I can help with anything else silicon valley related (I live in SF). Let me know.

Hipmunk is just an affiliate site with link s to buy plane tickets. Mint is just an affiliate site with links to sign up for financial products. Pinterest is just an affiliate site...

I would use a site like this to make a shortlist, but then I would go to the shop to try it - so that means 0 affiliate money.

Nope. Ain't got nothing that fits my taste.

It wasn't that long ago that I was looking for a coffee table; I browsed through the websites of several of the brands you're scraping and found absolutely nothing. I ended up wandering to the local Dania showroom and found this gorgeous thing made out of two pieces of glass cut into Googieish boomerang shapes, that was only like $250.

Then again I am pretty sure I'm not the typical furniture consumer; I'm an artist, who has very little furniture, and a very specific vision for what she wants her home to look like.

Thanks for the feedback!

What if we gave you an organization/collaboration feature where you could also save items you like, organize them by item type, tie them to a budget, collaborate with others to decide or get help with design. The idea, is that we are with you through every step of the process.

Would that make you more inclined to buy through us?
