Whenever possible, I would recommend shopping for bare wood furniture at a brick & mortar shop vs. buying from one of your area's online unfinished furniture stores. There're two primary reasons for this. Firstly, as price is often at least one of the reasons for buying unfinished furniture (that is often in the neighborhood of 50% less costly than its finished cousins) and you erode some portion of the price advantage if you have to pay shipping charges related with purchasing from an online unfinished furniture store.

Second, and perhaps more compelling than the price aspect is the truth that buying unfinished furniture is, by and large, a tactile experience. You get to walk through the outlet of a brick and mortar establishment. Go and touch the wood. Feel it beneath your hands. The sights and smells of a brick and mortar shop, combined with on-site expertise and the fact that you get to physically inspect the piece before purchase and choose the one that's just right for you...all that's lost if you buy via an online vendor.

Obviously, not every area has a brick and mortar store within a reasonable driving distance (where my wife and I live now, on the Carolina coast, we've none in driving distance, contrasted with when we lived in the suburbs of Atlanta, there were three close at hand!), and in that case, shopping with one of the online unfinished furniture stores could be your only alternative.

Whatever your reasons for looking for a web-based vendor of unfinished furniture, the three main elements you'll want to remember before deciding to give someone your business are these:

Price - This is perhaps an even bigger consideration when buying from a web based vendor than it would be when purchasing from a brick and mortar shop, because you'll likely have to factor in shipping costs to the total price of whatever you purchase. In order to ensure that you're getting the best value for your money, both of these costs have to be evaluated.

Selection - If you like bare wood furniture, you will probably want more than one piece, and there's no reason to have to run all over the internet and set up scads of new accounts with many different online unfinished furniture stores. Just ensure that you find one with a killer selection, and you're all set.

Shipping & Return Policies - When choosing from among the many web unfinished furniture stores, pay special attention to this, and in general, award extra points to the store with the most favorable shipping costs. Odds are good that you'll never have to use the company's return policy, but any time you purchase from one of the internet vendors, there is always a chance that the piece you buy could be damaged in transit to you, so as long as the online vendor has a return policy, you should be fine.

A quick "check" of the web unfinished furniture store you've selected would be to contact them and ask a question about one of their pieces, and note how long it takes them to reply to you. While not fool-proof, it's a pretty reliable indicator of the overall level of customer support you can expect, should difficulties arise.

My first, best suggestion would be to use local brick and mortar establishments whenever possible, but using the outline above, you should have little difficulty in selecting from among the online unfinished furniture stores out there, should your circumstances dictate buying online.
