If you’re an avid thrift shopper, bargain hunter or advocate for the three ‘R’s, then the new Wayfair Open Box initiative may interest you.
We all know the thrill of searching for a second-hand piece of furniture, a rug or dinnerware set at half the price of a new one, and you feel good when you shop sustainably, knowing you’ve made an effort to reduce and reuse, even if you can’t recycle. Equally, if you’re someone who’s new to doing the above, then Wayfair's Open Box initiative is a great place to start.
Whilst you’re in the marketplace for eco-friendly alternatives, see our fave sustainable furniture brands for further solutions that are kinder on the planet. Keep reading for our top picks from Wayfair's Open Box section.
Wayfair Open Box: what is it?
What is it? Simply enough, it’s a section on Wayfair’s website where you can purchase like-new pieces at a lower price.
Wayfair Open Box is a clearance section for returned items. Think Ikea’s infamous ‘As is’ area that's tucked away by the checkout. Instead of damaged or ex-display items, however, Wayfair Open Box is a place with good-as-new products customers have changed their minds about or are not satisfied with, for one reason or another. Inspected for any damages or defects before being listed, Wayfair Open Box products are repackaged and resold at a discounted price. Simply put: they’re too good to go to waste.
Buying second hand, rather than new where possible is a great way to prevent a throw-away culture and reduce carbon emissions too. Proving a great sustainable purchasing practice, whilst providing the opportunity to save a little money when we all need it the most, shopping in this hidden discount section is a guilt-free way to add items to your basket.
This initiative works across all Wayfair product categories too – and let’s face it, what can’t you buy for your home from Wayfair? You might just be able to find what you had your eye on for a fraction of its retail price. From a new mattress, bed frame or bedding to dining tables, rugs and lighting, there are over 7,000 items to add to your house with up to 40 per cent off. So next time you’re thinking about buying something new for your home, take a browse of Wayfair’s open box section.
