Our verdict on each
Lojas Benoit
Lojas Benoit suits households in Brazil that furnish a home in stages, ordering online or collecting in store. With 7 calendar days from the day after delivery to withdraw, the buying window is workable, though assembly is left to you and the entry rug price depends on how you pay.
ProtoArc
ProtoArc suits buyers who want a focused pair of home office products, a chair and a standing desk, to test at home before deciding. Entry price of $139.99 with a warranty of 3 to 10 years gives more cover than the price suggests, and delivery sits at the fast end.

Pros and cons
Lojas Benoit
Pros
- One store carries the whole home, with furniture, beds, bedding and more all browsable in the same menu.
- The queen mattress figure in the bedding category is BRL 2,699.90, with the saving printed beside the full amount.
- Withdrawals run 7 calendar days from the day after the order reaches you, set out in a written policy.
Cons
- Assembly sits with the buyer: the service pages place assembly, disassembly and installation outside what the store handles, and the 7 day withdrawal clock is already running while you work out whether the piece fits the room.
- The BRL 145.82 rug price holds when you pay by PIX, with the undiscounted amount printed above it, so the same piece bills differently by payment method.
- The withdrawal clock starts the day after delivery, so 7 calendar days has to cover measuring and building the piece as well as the decision itself.
ProtoArc
Pros
- A trial of 30 days at home plus a returns window of 30 days, so a chair can be judged on a real desk.
- Warranty of 3 to 10 years, above the office chair median on the site at 3 years.
- Delivery of 0 weeks and free delivery, with ProtoArc ranking 1 of 50 brands on delivery weeks.
Cons
- Assembly included is no, so chairs and desks arrive in parts and the build time is yours.
- The range covers office chairs and standing desks, while Garvee covers sofas, sofa beds and armchairs for anyone furnishing more than a desk.
- An entry price of $139.99 places ProtoArc at 25 of 108 brands on price, so the cheapest chairs cost less.
Who each suits
Lojas Benoit
Who it suits
- Households based in Brazil that want a home bought from one store rather than room by room.
- Shoppers happy to collect, since the store lets you order on the site and pick the piece up in person.
- Buyers with a screwdriver and an evening to spare, because putting pieces together is left to them.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs assembly handled, since the store places assembly, disassembly and installation outside what it covers.
- Shoppers outside Brazil, since that is the market the store sells in.
- Buyers whose list starts with a nursery crib; Bungle Nursery Cribs is the name to weigh against instead.
ProtoArc
Who it suits
- Anyone outfitting a single desk who wants a chair and a standing desk from the same brand, with 30 days at home to decide.
- Buyers who weigh cover length heavily, since the warranty runs 3 to 10 years across the range.
- Shoppers in the United States, CA and GB who would rather not add a shipping charge, since free delivery is yes.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone redoing a whole home: buerostuhl24 Bürostühle und Büromöbel lists office chairs, gaming chairs and standing desks, so seating, dining and outdoor pieces sit in one order.
- Buyers pairing a desk with home furniture: Dublino Moebel lists sofas, armchairs and beds, which leans toward sofas, beds and storage.
- Anyone who will not build a chair themselves, since assembly included is no. Garvee, covering sofas, sofa beds and armchairs, is the wider comparison for a mixed order.

Questions about each
Lojas Benoit
What does a mattress or a rug cost?+
The queen price shown in the mattress category is BRL 2,699.90, printed with the amount saved against the full price. A rug in the living room range is listed at BRL 145.82 with its discount applied. Both figures belong to the products on those pages, so read them as reference points for those pieces rather than a starting point for everything.
Does paying by PIX change what I pay?+
The BRL 145.82 rug figure is the discounted price that holds when you pay by PIX, and the site prints the undiscounted amount above it with the saving in reais alongside. That means the figure you read on a product page is not always the figure on the invoice, so check the payment terms before you budget for a piece.
ProtoArc
How much does a ProtoArc chair cost?+
Chairs and standing desks from ProtoArc start at $139.99. That is a purchase price, not a subscription, so the figure you see is the figure you pay and there is no renewal charge later. On price the brand sits at 25 of 108 brands, so cheaper options exist below it and dearer ones above.
How quickly do ProtoArc chairs arrive, and is delivery charged?+
Delivery is listed at 0 weeks, and free delivery is included, so no shipping charge is added at checkout. On delivery speed ProtoArc ranks 1 of 50 brands, which is the strongest measure in its favour and the reason to compare it early.
