As the number of internet users reaches 50% of the world’s population, more people than ever are using the web for shopping. For the first time ever, most people are using the web for doing their shopping and billions of people (90% of buyers) are using the web for research when making a furniture purchase.
With so many people buying commercial furniture online and so many commercial furniture retailers and manufacturers, it can be confusing to find genuine retailers that you can trust. Thankfully, with over 55 years of trading, we have proved that we are the number one choice for commercial and contract furniture.
To help you find out what to look for when buying furniture online, we have put together a little list of things to consider to make sure you get the best deals and service.
Check the Furniture Website
Make sure that that website that you are on is as helpful to you as possible. A trustworthy website will have all its products displayed clearly and with the correct prices easily visible with helpful descriptions of products.
Popular products like our Round Shaker Table have product dimensions and weight displayed to help you plan for a project and we clearly display all of our available finishes. We believe that to give our customers the best service we must make the process as stress-free and helpful as possible.
With our new website, we have also made sure that when customers choose to make a purchase with us that we are as safe and secure as possible. If you look in the address bar at the top-left hand side of your screen you will see a green locked padlock and the word ‘Secure’.
This means that your payment is encrypted and completely secure, guaranteeing there will be no nasty surprises. This service is a must-have for any payment made on the internet so check every retailer.
Comparing Furniture Store Reviews
Reviews are a fantastic way of viewing the experience other customers are having when they choose to purchase through an online retailer. A review can give a great indication to you in what to expect in everything from the product itself to the delivery service.
Currently, we have 134 Google reviews for all of our products and services with an average score of 4.8 stars out of 5. With over 120 reviews rated at five stars, you know that our customers are getting fantastic furniture products with a first-class service.

Guarantees for Commercial Furniture
Pub and restaurant furniture are used on a regular basis day in, day out. We understand that commercial furniture needs to be robust enough to be moved regularly and stand the test of time.
Some retailers will be quick to sell their furniture but after the demands of your industry, regularly things go wrong and it can be difficult or impossible to get the issue resolved months down the line.
At Trent Furniture, we make sure that only the highest quality of materials is used in our products and they are assembled by expert craftsmen to ensure the durability of each item.
To prove we have faith in our products and for peace of mind for our customers, we offer a 12-month guarantee on all of our commercial furniture items.
Only at Trent Furniture will you receive the high-quality that you expect from hospitality industry furniture.
Online Furniture Delivery
Delivery is an incredibly important part of the online buying process. A good website will clearly outline all of its delivery information including estimated delivery time and costs.
In the hospitality industry, getting things on time and in perfect condition can mean the difference between success and disaster. Trent Furniture has decades of experience and we have experienced it all to bring you a better delivery service.
Delivery is approximately 10-14 working days for stocked items. However, if the order is more urgent we will endeavour to help you meet your requirements. Our delivery charges are clearly labelled in the shopping basket price breakdown and depend on the delivery postcode.
We use our own drivers to ensure our customers get the best delivery service possible and they’ll even give our customers a ring beforehand to let them know that their delivery is close.
Variety of Commercial Styles and Options

A Final Thought on Online Furniture Buying
While buying commercial furniture online can save you time, money and a lot of hassle, it is important to be wary of websites that can look too good to be true and any potential scams.
Finding a professional website that you can trust is the first step to upgrading or finding your perfect furniture.
Doing your research to find the best products at the best price is something you cannot rush and don’t hesitate to get in contact with any retailer for advice. Read the reviews, compare prices and invest in something that you won’t regret months and years down the line.
