Questions about each
HERNEST
How much do sofas cost at HERNEST?+
Sofas start at $1,249, and that entry figure places HERNEST at 104 of 108 brands ranked on price from. Treat it as the floor of the range rather than the price of a typical piece, since wider formats and leather or velvet covers sit above it.
How long do I have to return a sofa?+
Returns run 60 days from delivery, which puts HERNEST at 22 of 106 brands on that measure and well past the 30 median across the site. The longer window is the main argument for paying a higher entry price than some rivals ask.
Teak Warehouse
How much does Teak Warehouse furniture cost?+
Entry pricing starts at $149 for a stacking chair, which gives you a floor for a first order and says little about a large set. Freight varies by location and order size, so budget for it separately from the furniture. Delivery is charged rather than covered by the store.
How long does delivery take?+
The published lead time for Ready to Ship orders is 3 weeks. Pieces outside that group carry their own timings, which is worth confirming for the specific item before you commit. Collection is by appointment, so you can take a piece once it is ready rather than wait for a delivery slot.
