1. I think the owner is a raging Repub
I haven't ordered anything - others may know more than my snippet of info... it's hard to order large items that aren't easy to pop in a mailer and return. :hi:

2. I've used them a couple-3 times.
Never had to return anything, but the website was laid out pretty well and the stuff arrived in a timely fashion.

FWIW

4. A couple of times. Never had a problem. Their prices aren't exceptionally low or anything
they are usually about the same price you can find the same item other places with a quick Google. So don't be roped in by price alone. But whenever I've used them, I've been happy with the results.

A couple of Christmases ago they ran a commercial with a woman in a long red coat singing a Christmas song. Nothing vampy, even, but I had the weirdest and strongest crush on her for a few months. :) Has nothing to do with your question.

9.  The price I found was quite fair. I loved your "crush" story.
I think it was the red coat that did it. I had one once and I was always complemented when I wore it. Needless to say it was many years ago. ;-)

Thanks for your reply.

12. Funny, I just looked it up, and she had on a white coat.
Love really is blind, or just senile. :rofl:

14. Maybe not. The brilliant splashes of red against the white setting
really set the whole thing off. :)

5. Also bought bedding there
Foam mattress toppers and such. No problems. The worst thing that happened was the colors of a quilt weren't accurate. Sent it back--no problem. They didn't even charge me shipping because of the color issue.

11. I've ordered from there
a few times and was happy with everything. What I like is the low shipping cost.

One of my sisters ordered dining room chairs to go with her table. They were beautiful, just like the pics showed, and she loved the low shipping cost.

DAMN, though! The owner of Overstock is a republican? CRAP!

18. No problems here either
Their prices usually match the two or three lowest you will find shopping around through google. Good selection of similar items displayed for comparison. Shipping prices are great. I think they have several warehouses around the country so most items should ship from nearby fairly quickly.

I'd probably use them more but I just never think of them unless I am looking for an obscure item that I don't know much about, because I like the design of their page showing similar items.

Shopping for a chair seems like a great item to use Overstock for. Save big on shipping and give them a try at the same time. :)

19. I have bought from them
mostly, like others have said, bedding. But also, a set of cookware and some flatware also. It was decent, and a good price, better than what I could have gotten locally.

No problems.

20. I bought a chair from overstock a couple of years ago
it is a great chair. Got it at a good price, shipping was free. I have bought some smaller items from them, too. No complaints.
