What Complaints Describe
USAComplaints has 18 posts naming One Way Furniture or onewayfurniture.com, filed between July 2004 and April 2012, all reviewed and linked to this profile. Separately, ComplaintsBoard.com's own aggregate page for the company (fetched directly) lists 9 complaints, 7 marked resolved and 2 unresolved (the page's own summary counter and prose text round this differently, to 78% and 77% respectively), plus a longer-form 2009 complaint thread with ten comments, several of them corroborating.
Recurring, specific themes across these sources: damaged or defective deliveries (chipped/split wood, missing hardware, torn packaging) that the company allegedly wanted "proven" with photos before acting; restocking and return-shipping fees applied even to items customers say arrived damaged or wrong, consistent with what the company's current FAQ confirms is standard policy for any return; slow or unreachable customer service, including complaints of unanswered phones and unreturned callbacks; and a smaller number of complaints alleging a quoted "price match" or promotional price wasn't honored at checkout.
These complaints range from 2004 to January 2013 -- the most recent, a January 30, 2013 ComplaintsBoard complaint about the return-shipping and restocking-fee policy, is itself marked resolved. This research did not find a single detailed, dated complaint from 2014 onward on any platform checked (USAComplaints, ComplaintsBoard, BBB, or general web search) — readers should weigh the historical pattern accordingly rather than assume it reflects the company's current operations.
Returns, Fees, and Getting Help
One Way Furniture's own FAQ page currently states that all returns, for any reason, are subject to a restocking fee (the exact percentage isn't disclosed on that page), and that the customer pays round-trip shipping — including being charged the company's actual outbound shipping cost on an order that was originally sent under a "free shipping" promotion. The fee is waived only if the return is exchanged for an item of equal or greater value or for store credit. Orders can be canceled before they ship, except special/custom orders, which are only cancelable within 3 days of purchase and are otherwise nonrefundable. In-stock items are quoted as usually shipping in 5-7 days with delivery in 1-2 weeks; the company does not state a penalty or compensation if that window is missed.
If a delivery arrives damaged, keep the original packaging and take photos immediately — several older complaints describe the company asking for photo proof before authorizing a replacement or refund. If phone support (1-800-789-1995) goes unanswered, several complainants reported better results following up in writing and, where a credit card was used, disputing the charge directly with the card issuer.
Is One Way Furniture Legitimate?
One Way Furniture, Inc. is an active, currently-registered New York corporation (NY DOS ID 2793148), first filed July 24, 2002 — a date that lines up with the company's domain-registration date two days later and with its own stated founding. The BBB carries an A+ rating for the business, though it is not BBB-accredited and its BBB profile currently shows zero customer reviews and zero complaints on file (BBB profiles typically reflect a rolling multi-year window, not a business's full history).
Searches of the New York Attorney General's press releases and general legal-news coverage did not turn up any lawsuit, consent order, or enforcement action naming One Way Furniture (a separate, unrelated 2025-2026 NY AG case against Payless Furniture, Inc. (a Brooklyn retailer doing business as "1StopBedrooms", registered 2012, settled for up to roughly $350,000 in restitution and penalties in April 2026) sometimes surfaces in the same searches and should not be confused with this company).
The company's website is live and actively maintained — it displays current, dated promotional copy and a working storefront — and the phone number and return-policy terms it currently publishes on its own site match what it has told customers historically. The documented complaint pattern below (see "Complaint history") is real but dated: every specific, detailed complaint found in this research is from 2004 through January 2013, and no complaint from 2014 onward could be located on any platform checked.
About One Way Furniture
One Way Furniture, Inc. was incorporated in New York on July 24, 2002 and remains listed as an active domestic business corporation with the NY Department of State (DOS ID 2793148). Its domain, onewayfurniture.com, was registered two days later on July 26, 2002 — consistent with the company's own account of when it began operating under this name. According to Wikipedia (citing NPR and the Wall Street Journal), founder Mitchell Lieberman had already been selling furniture online, including as an early seller of new furniture on eBay, since 1997.
The company's model, as it describes on its own site, is to contract directly with furniture manufacturers so items ship from the manufacturer's own warehouse network (it claims over 300 warehouses) rather than through a traditional retail showroom. Per Wikipedia, One Way Furniture ranked in the Inc. 5000 for five consecutive years (2006-2010), reported about $17 million in 2010 revenue, and acquired EverythingFurniture.com in 2011. The same article describes the company's search traffic being hit hard by the 2011 Google Panda algorithm update, which it says the company addressed by having its site content rewritten.
A related entity, One Way Furniture II, LLC, was registered with New York as a foreign (Delaware) LLC on June 27, 2007 and remains listed as active, with a registered-agent address in the same Melville, NY area as the current BBB-listed headquarters; the public record does not state how the two entities relate.
