We are passionate about homes and are always striving to ensure that our customers find just what they need to make their spaces reflect their personality and style.
2. Our History and Growth
Our journey began in 2002, when two high-school friends, Niraj Shah and Steve Conine, started a simple website called racksandstands.com, selling media stands and storage furniture. Little did they know, this was just the beginning of an incredible e-commerce adventure.
From a small two-person operation, we’ve expanded into a multinational corporation. With the passage of time, we started adding more categories to our catalogue and our efforts culminated in the birth of Wayfair in 2011.
We are proud to have surpassed numerous milestones. Whether it was going public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2014, or launching our operations in Germany and the UK, each step has been a testament to our unwavering commitment and dedication to our vision.
Our growth story is not just about numbers. It’s about building trust with our customers. It’s about making sure that each person who visits our site feels valued and understood. As we continue to grow, we carry with us the lessons we’ve learned and the ethos of our humble beginnings.
