From design consults to mattress testing: Four reasons why in-store shopping at Wayfair is a game-changer

While the name might immediately conjure up images of the brand’s website, Columbus’ first-ever Wayfair store will offer a far more personalized shopping experience for fans of the popular destination for all things home.

With Wayfair set to hold the grand opening of its first-ever Columbus brick and mortar store June 26-28 (it will be located at 1551 Gemini Pl.), we’re here to help you understand what the in-store Wayfair experience is all about.

Try Before you Buy

A cornerstone of in-store shopping at Wayfair, the Columbus store will allow customers to see, touch and feel nearly every product available. This includes amenities like Wayfair’s Dream Center, which offers an interactive display of mattresses from leading brands, spanning pillow-soft to extra-firm.

Project Experts

Let’s be honest, even if you know exactly what you want, chances are you’re not a professional remodeler or interior designer. Wayfair offers a team of home design experts in store to guide your projects, including their “No Demo Reno” consultations, where an expert will identify ways (via upgrading fixtures, furniture or other elements) you can transform a room in your house, without the need for a full-scale renovation.

Free Design Services 

In almost every other context, 1-on-1 consultation with a designer will cost you money. And not a little bit of it. Not in Wayfair stores, however. You’ll be able to gather both useful information and inspiration from an on-site expert who can help bring your project to life. You can book your own appointment here.

Ideas & Inspiration

With physical Wayfair locations boasting often more than 10,000 individual SKUs, it would be difficult not to find something you love, whether you encounter that from a project expert, through one-on-one design services, or simply by browsing the aisles.
