The data obtained from the questionnaire forms of 1218 individuals who participated online through Google Forms were analyzed statistically. Regardless of any socio-demographic characteristics, functionality is the most effective factor in furniture purchasing, followed by lifetime and aesthetics. Ease of assembly is the least effective factor. The furniture specifications such as quality certification, lifetime, reliability, aesthetics, size, functionality, durability, warranty and after-sales services are more effective in women's purchasing decisions than men's. The specifications of brand value, lifetime, aesthetics, size, price and ease of assembly are ineffective in the purchasing decisions of individuals from different age groups. In addition, the effect levels of the factors vary according to marital status and education level.
