Expensive vs. Bargain

this should be interesting....

in browsing thru both the ballard.com and target.com websites, i found some really nice leather chair and ottoman sets. HOWEVER, the prices varied drastically.

post your bargain finds


the first pic is the ballard find - $1,400

vs..

the target find - $700

that's a savings of $700!!! Chat Icon

Re: Expensive vs. Bargain

Do you think most people stay away from target and buy the more expensive items from PB just for the "name"?
