Cream velvet floor sofa with deep navy ends in a pale gray room with a brass sculptural floor lamp and framed line artSave
Navy velvet and a brass lamp give the modular floor sofa a more tailored, evening look.

The quick answer

Yes, the website is the same shop, with the same name, team and products, and it is often cheaper than the marketplace listing for the same sofa because there's no marketplace commission. It has run its own sales and coupons, including a first-order welcome code, and has included free gifts. Ask for the US shipping cost and delivery time before you order. It won't always price-match.

Where the difference comes from

The sofa is the same. The hands are the same. The difference is a commission.

A marketplace takes a share of each sale, and those commissions are high. On its own website the shop doesn't pay it, so the same sofa is often cheaper there. Buyers have noticed lower prices on the shop's social media pages too. You can order on the website directly.

The shop won't always match one channel's price on the other, so compare before you choose. The modular floor sofas atlas and the floor sofa buying guide help you pick the sofa first. Which matters more to you here: the lower price, or the checkout you already know?

Same sofa. Same hands. One less fee.

Before you choose where to order

  • Compare the same sofa, size and fabric on both.
  • Look for the website's own offers and first-order welcome code.
  • Some coupons only work on the website; check before checkout.
  • US shipping cost and delivery time from the website: ask before you order.
  • Don't count on a price-match between the two.

Same sofa, same team: the shop's own website is often cheaper than the marketplace listing because no commission sits in the middle.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Why is the price on your website different from the marketplace?

    The workshop's answer

    The shop owns both the marketplace store and its own website, and the website sometimes runs its own discount, so prices differ. The shop won't price-match between them, but some buyers find the website cheaper or easier to order from.

  2. A common question

    Why are marketplace prices higher than on your own site?

    The workshop's answer

    The website runs its own sales and coupons. One website code took a fixed amount off, and website orders also came with two free gifts.

  3. A common question

    Is it cheaper to buy the sofa on your own website?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Same company and same product, but cheaper on the shop's own site because there's no marketplace commission. Some discount codes only work there. Ask for US shipping cost and timing before you pay.

  4. A common question

    Is your website the same company as your marketplace shop?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes, same shop name and same team. Sofas are often cheaper there; in one comparison the same sofa was about 8% below the marketplace price.

  5. A common question

    Why is the price lower on your website or Facebook than on the marketplace?

    The workshop's answer

    Marketplace commissions are high, so the shop's own website can be cheaper. The website is the shop's own, and you can order there directly.

Questions buyers ask next

Does the website sell different sofas from the marketplace shop?

No. The website has the same shop name, the same team and the same products as the marketplace shop. Only the price and the running offers differ.

Will one storefront match the other's price?

Not always. The two channels run their own sales, so the shop doesn't promise to price-match. Compare the same sofa, size and fabric on both before ordering.

Can I pay in installments on the website?

Yes. Klarna at marketplace checkout splits the payment into installments, and the shop's own website offers installments too, which helps buyers for whom Klarna on the marketplace doesn't work.
