### 3/5 — A shady version of The Real Real

*2026-08-24, version 3.0.6*

The prices across the board on this site are set sky high! Indeed, you can assume they’re at least 20% above fair market value but more likely 80% to 100%.  Exact duplicates I found on 1stDibs and TRR show asking prices of $800 and $200, respectively.  Caveat emptor has never been so relevant as it is here.

### 4/5 — Perfect Intro - Antique & Modern

*2026-05-19, version 2.21.3*

At the right time 1stDibs had great value for antique jewelry to modern Jewelry. Sellers are responsive and honest (so far, so good.  My experience has been good so far.

### 4/5 — CEO

*2025-09-18, version 2.18.1*

Over priced!

### 1/5 — Lack of professional shipping

*2025-03-26, version 2.15.4*

Unfortunately I had a very bad experience with 1stDibs after I purchased a very expensive piece of furniture and paid over $1K to have it shipped and delivered using a white glove service. The shipper refused to deliver the piece stating that they don’t deliver to homes with multiple stairs. They then proceeded to dump the furniture piece in my garage. I contacted 1stDibs for a refund of the white glove service since they only provided shipping service. After over a month of back and forth, they refused to even partially refund the delivery cost. I now have to hire movers for the delivery from my garage to my home. So unprofessional! I’ve received better customer service from Target! Deleting app, I will never use it again.

### 5/5 — A Breath of Fresh Air!

*2025-03-24, version 2.15.4*

So many rare treasures here! Love it!

### 3/5 — Prix très élevé malgré un catalogue fabuleux

*2025-03-18, version 2.15.4*

Lorsque l’on compare sur d’autres sites, votre plateforme propose des prix nettement supérieurs, vos marges sont un frein à l’achat car le tarif final ne reflète pas la valeur exacte de l’œuvre.
Dommage, car le catalogue et la sélection sont fines et incroyables. Vous proposez le meilleur de l’Art!

### 1/5 — Jewelry

*2025-03-16, version 2.15.4*

I never really purchased anything but seeing the reviews I recommend no one try’s to buy any type of jewelry for there is a lot of scammers out there ready to get you on that hook I understand if 1stdibs was able to support it’s customers but seeing the bad reviews made me wonder what happened to those people who never was heard I can’t ingore that and purchase something I hope you do your research before buying

### 5/5 — Happy Customer

*2025-01-28, version 2.15.2*

Super easy to navigate the process of sorting products available, contacting the seller for answers and purchasing seamlessly!

### 5/5 — Always amazed

*2025-01-02, version 2.14.4*

1st dibs has just gorgeous exquisite pieces from amazing collectors such as myself from all around the world. their website is user friendly and easy to navigate. Easy to work with as well.

*2024-12-27, version 2.14.4*

### 1/5 — App not working

*2026-06-04, version 3.0*

Tried a couple of times to verify email but failed.  Poor App on log in and sign up.

### 1/5 — Bad experience

*2026-05-23, version 2.21.3*

I have had some good experiences with FirstDibs but recently had a very bad one - relating to an expensive item that was not at all as represented by the seller. As clear as the misrepresentation was, 1st Dibs provided no help & the seller insists on my paying expensive return freight + a restocking fee. No more purchases on 1st Dibs for me. (Would not have given 1 star if I didn’t have to.)

### 1/5 — Worst

*2026-04-15, version 2.20.1*

I’ve never encountered a more cumbersome off the mark program.  Perhaps just incompatible with latest OS. Try buying and sending a gift to someone when your card address is your office not your home. Needsxoverhsul urgently.

### 1/5 — You will NEVER get your refund !

*2026-02-10, version 2.19.1*

I have spent more than two weeks and after more than a dozen calls and emails , despite the seller approving and then acknowledging that they have jewelry pieces I have only received a small portion of a more than 5.5K refund . 

1stDibs should NOT be trusted to stand behind any advertised promises, if they withhold money that should be returned. 

I would highly recommend that you do not buy anything from this company, it is clearly too risky !

### 1/5 — Never received item

*2025-11-29, version 2.18.3*

It’s been 3 weeks since I ordered an item for an event. The site said give the item 2 weeks to arrive. It’s been misery dealing with these people. They are zero help. I don’t know how they can feel they facilitate a sale. The item I purchased probably never existed. This is a fraudulent site with fraudulent products. I am extremely disappointed and they wasted a lot of my time for a very high value purchase. I do not recommend them to anyone.

### 1/5 — Really buggy

*2025-11-17, version 2.18.3*

Really buggy and extremely slow to load even a message. Deleted.

### 1/5 — Awful avoid!!!!

*2025-10-23, version 2.18.2*

Essentially this is probably the worst website I’ve ever come across. Customer service is even worse very slow no sense of urgency. I bought a bracelet from I trusted vetted person from this website  Only to find out the bracelet was glass. 3.5k they have held on to over 6 weeks one email every two days talking complete nonsense and asking the same questions just avoid this app no better than a scam!

### 1/5 — 1st Dibs Give Seller and Buyer different info

*2025-07-21, version 2.16.2*

Beyond difficult to use. I made my first order and it’s says it waiting on the seller, so I contacted the seller and they said 1st dibs is requesting more in for me, but I never got an email. She confirmed with a screenshot on her end. Why do they make it so difficult to use and make order. I ended up cancelling don’t recommend, as it’s been 48 hours and no one from 1st dibs has gotten back to me.

### 1/5 — ‼️Base pornographic photography‼️

*2025-06-18, version 2.16.2*

I used to love this app and service. I thought it was an amazing way to be able to find an access unique treasures from all over the world. One of my favorite things I own came from this service. 

I was very disappointed to open the app today to look for more art only to find the opening page to be filled with base pornography! While I honor and treasure the incredible experience of being a human being and its beauty, I don’t celebrate base representations of men and women. This is incredibly disappointing smut‼️

I find this disrespectful, unprofessional, and de-evolutionary. You don’t even allow an option to turn this stuff off on your account.

1stdibs, you’ve lost my business‼️

### 1/5 — Refunds are Impossible

*2025-06-12, version 2.16.2*

I have had two terrible experiences with refunds from this highly unprofessional company. I get one story after another as to why the refund has not been processed. You can not reach a live person as the (646) area code phone 1st dibs provides doesn't work. Do not purchase anything through this company.
