Prices on the internet are often noticeably lower than what you pay, for example, at furniture stores. However, I think some items are not really suitable for online ordering. For example, I am a bit cautious when it comes to sofas because you can't test how they feel for sitting or lying on. Other items like dining tables and matching chairs seem less critical, and lamps are hardly an issue at all. You can always make a wrong choice and then want to return the product.

Do you know any good online furniture stores that are generally customer-friendly, especially when it comes to returns, so that the process is hassle-free?

What are good brands for sofas and dining room furniture? Or how can I know if the quality of dining tables with chairs is right without having seen or touched them beforehand?

I am also interested in ordering flooring and tiles online.

We ordered a lot from Otto last year for our move. They have a large selection, fair prices, and excellent customer service. We were actually quite surprised by the good quality in some cases.
But I agree with you, I wouldn’t order something like a sofa online. You want to try sitting on it beforehand.

Prices for furniture on the internet are not really lower than those at furniture stores. At least that has been my experience...

If they are even available online at all.

Although I find it somewhat improper to receive extensive advice first, only to then buy cheaply on the internet.

Oh, my experience has been different. A 30% to 50% difference for the same piece of furniture is not uncommon. It was the case with our wall unit and dining chairs. Same brand, same model.
