For many of us when we want to buy a new item of furniture, whether its something small and relatively simple such as a mirror or a side table or a much bigger piece perhaps a closet or a double bed, we get in the car and head to our nearest out of town furniture superstore in a power center located somewhere miles away.

But did you know that there is an alternative? Did you know that you can also buy furniture online? If youre like me you probably didnt stop to think about that. Ive even looked at a furniture stores website, seen that they deliver, and still gone to the bricks and mortar store. Or maybe thats just me! But buying furniture online is an increasingly popular way of making even big purchases.

From the comfort of your own home, your new sofa, bookshelf, dining table set or water bed (if thats your thing) is just a couple of clicks away. Buy furniture online and youll be saving yourself a wasted Sunday afternoon driving to the store or mall when you could have been enjoying proper family time. The kids will certainly thank you for saving them the trip but also think of the gas money youll be saving too. Treat yourself to a couple of cushion covers with the savings!

The other great thing about buying furniture online is the choice. Many companies who sell fine furniture or handmade items cant afford to have a big retail space, or perhaps they sell from a small showroom or workshop on the other side of the country. Luckily for us, many of these family owned companies have embraced the web and the wider audience it gives them and have the ability to sell via their website.

Buying online from a smaller company, whether fine furniture, antiques, Oriental sideboards, rustic hand carved tables made from reclaimed wood, crystal chandeliers or modern minimalist mirrors are your thing, will show support for small businesses and true craftsmanship. Not only that but youll have a real conversation piece in your home and an item of furniture that will bring you so much more joy to look at and use, than say a self-assembled flat packed closet or bookcase that half the people in your street own too.

In fact the only danger that I can think of with buying furniture off the web is that if youre anything like me, youll end up getting carried away and spending way more than you mean to!
