1stDibs

I am an artist dealer and collector on 1stDibs. I have found authentic Hudson River school paintings for sale at reasonable prices. All art dealers are verified which gives me confidence shopping here.
It is a luxury items ecommerce website that offers the convenience of never leaving home to find extraordinary, sometimes rare, quality authentic items. I have shopped at this site and was never disappointed by it's professional and easy design. It's like looking at Town and Country magazine, however with options to buy directly from dealers. This is the reason the prices are higher and I do not mind that if I know I am getting authentic, quality rare works that are sold from verified dealers. And there are many sales and deals! It is not true that items cannot be returned. Every seller I have encountered has a generous, no questions asked, 2 week return policy. If you are looking for quality artworks, verified sellers and great deals, look no further.

Bought an item claiming to have free shipping and paid in full. - Confirmation email states this. Package doesn't arrive and I find out it is being held for owed duties. No one warned me of this significant added cost. Have sent 1stdbs several emails that have gone unanswered. A "James" has called and simply states pay the duties or pay to return the package. I'm stuck.
They are not a marketplace. They just take their commissions and leave the customer without any assistance. They should not have foreign sellers on this site if they are not going to also identify duties that will be assessed.

Our gallery, Photorealism of Boca Raton, has been a seller on 1stdibs for over five years, and as such, we would like to address the sellers' comments posted here. We have had significant success on 1stdibs. We sell several pieces per month, and these sales are to people who most likely would not have found us just doing an online search. Many become regular customers who give our pieces to others as gifts. Many sellers here are complaining that belonging to 1stdibs is not worth it; we just wanted people to know that there are sellers, us for example, who are happy with the expenditure and experience.

Tiffany Schlumberger X Ring Platinum was purchased, confirmed and charged on credit card. Order was cancelled 4 days later due to item lost in robbery but not taken out of seller's inventory. The 2nd choice of same ring was coincidentally sold on same day as cancellation by another seller, and still appears on website as available. Credit card has been refunded, but not automatically. Yet another step to contact Customer Service. Sorry never again.

I found the exact ring I wanted. Thanks to some encouraging words from Connie at M Lowe who also posts on 1stDIBS, who could not match the price herself for the same ring. If not for my conversation with her, I would not have found my way to your site, nor would I have had the confidence in your site.
Seeing the price that was close to what I could afford, I messaged the seller with my story for wanting the ring as a replacement for a wedding ring as a memorial ring. Benny was so kind to listen to my story and to honor it with a 14% discount, which meant the world to me and that I could afford it. This has been an amazing story. I am so touched by the personal attention and that somewhere in the world a meaningful discount can be made as an exception. Thank you! I am now a huge fan!

We were going to be out of town at the time a large, expensive painting was to be delivered. We communicated directly with the mover 1st Dibs assigned. We simply asked they call us with an hour's advance notice so we could have someone meet them at our building in New York City. They agreed. Instead, the mover dropped the painting off on the sidewalk outside our building, drove away, and never called. We asked for a refund on moving costs from 1st Dibs (the very least they could do) and they never bothered to respond. We will *NEVER* order anything from a 1st Dibs vendor again.
