It's been a while since I posted in my "You Better Shop Around" series, but I've noticed too many look-alike products while shopping online not to add another entry. And since these steals are so good, I have the feeling I might have to order a few for myself.
A well-designed waste basket is a hard thing to find. The slightly-industrial, slightly-vintage feel of this basket hits all the right notes.
The steal: woven wire trash can, $29 / The splurge: wire waste paper bin, $45
(a difference of $16!)
Want a nautically-inspired mirror? I bought this "steal" for the den and am really pleased with the quality.
The steal: rope mirror, $41 / The splurge: rope wall mirror, $137
(a difference of $96!)
The new JCP brings high-end inspiration to the masses like this webbed side chair.
The steal: Berger side chair (sold as a pair), $960 / The splurge: Risom side chair, $653
(a difference of $173 per chair!)
Forget hunting down an antique industrial piece. For less than $400, you can get the look!
The steal: poplar and iron console, $380 / The splurge: Alpine rustic pine console, $1,121
(a difference of $741!)
Would you love to own a piece of original Jean Prouvé? If you can't, this $155 chair is a good looking replica.
The steal: Prove standard chair, $155 / The splurge: Jeanette chair, $305
(a difference of $150!)
These five steals and splurges remind me that it's fun to get a bargain, especially when style and design aren't sacrificed in the name of a low price point.
Have you found any great look-alike products lately?
What great deals!! Always love to save some $$ on design projects :)
