Depending on where you stand on the merits of a creative assignment, outfitting a new apartment can either be a fun project or a completely overwhelming task. If you fall into the latter camp, it\u2019s understandable\u2014color, material, silhouette, whether or not that couch<\/a> you love will actually fit all your friends on movie night\u2026 these are suddenly topics you\u2019ve got to untangle on your own when picking out new furniture. On top of that, there are quite literally hundreds of online retailers<\/a> to choose from. A push in the right direction is going to save you lots of time (and money)\u2014so we put together a compendium of all our go-to spots.<\/p>\n Make sure to consider a few important things before checking out. Furniture shipping can be a doozy, so if you need something sooner than later, whittle down your options to places offering faster delivery than something made to order. (Big-box brands, like Crate & Barrel or West Elm, are good starting points.) Another important question: Who will be living with this new piece of furniture? We\u2019re not talking humans\u2014those with pets or toddlers will want to look into stain-resistant performance fabrics to ensure your investment has a long life ahead of it. Lastly, there\u2019s no hiding that furniture has gotten more expensive. Payment plans are becoming more popular with big retailers, making it easier to fulfill your dream home fantasies without emptying your savings account right away; and in the interim, there are plenty of smaller, more decorative pieces<\/a> you can bring in to give your space a temporary facelift. (Martini table, anyone?)<\/p>\n To help you wade through the vast world of online furniture shopping, we pulled together an edit of our favorite places.<\/p>\n Founded in 1986 on the premise that furniture should be sustainably made and built to last, Arhaus partners with artisans around the world (from North Carolina to Mexico) to produce heirloom-quality furniture and lighting fixtures. That quality is clear: These are pieces designed to be passed down through generations. We love the Ilaria dining table, which is handcrafted in Italy from locally sourced travertine so that each piece varies slightly in color, texture, and shape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nVogue<\/em>\u2019s Guide to the Best Online Furniture Stores<\/h2>\n
