Buying high street furniture from eBay - any advice

I have noticed several eBay businesses that sell brand new furniture from the likes of Next, Laura Ashley and M&S.

They say it is new and in many cases boxed and the genuine article.

The prices are about half of the high street.

Has anyone had any experience of buying from them please and what is your opinion?

Many have very good feedback scores and have been trading for a long time so I pressume they are genuine.

I am about to spend several hundred pounds on some bookcases and half of me thinks it's a bargain and teh other half thinks it's too good to be true!

Any advice received grstefully.
