Has anyone else noticed that the desktop Zillow map no longer shows neighboring home value labels? I see price tags only on active listings now. This makes it much harder to monitor neighborhood values without clicking every house. Is this a bug or a new feature?

I've spent at least $20,000 there over the past few years on Wayfair, and while I've had some decent purchases, the bad ones are memorable.
First there was the art print that arrived looking like it had been enlarged from a 1998 flip phone photo. They happily charged me a 15% restocking fee to return their blurry masterpiece.
But the sofa saga deserves its own Netflix documentary.
I ordered a cream colored sofa for about $1,000. What arrived was a bright white monstrosity that looked like it belonged in a college dorm. Under the cushions? Wooden slats. Actual futon slats. I half expected it to fold into a bed and come with a ramen noodle starter kit.
To their credit, Wayfair refunded my money and told me to keep it. Great! Problem solved, right?
Not even close.
I ordered a nicer custom sofa instead. Estimated delivery 8 weeks. Three weeks later, Wayfair canceled the order because the fabric wasn't available. So I picked another fabric and started waiting.
And waiting.
Three months.
Four months.
At that point, I tried to cancel. Nope. Apparently custom orders are a sacred blood oath. The sofa might never exist, but my money was apparently committed for life.
Only after I mentioned filing a credit card chargeback did they finally agree to refund me. I jokingly asked how much interest they'd be paying me for holding my money hostage for five months. Shockingly, the answer was zero.
Meanwhile, I'd already ordered rugs, decor, and accessories to coordinate with this mythical sofa that never arrived. Now I'm starting over somewhere else.
If you enjoy gambling, uncertainty, and furniture-based emotional trauma, Wayfair may be for you.
For me? Never again. Anyone else have good or bad Wayfair encounters?
UPDATE: I came here to discuss Wayfair opinions and somehow ended up in a debate about capitalism, Mormon memes, and Jeff Bezos controlling the news. Reddit never disappoints
