- Bed Bath & Beyond is best for purchasing fundamental household
items like mops, shower curtain liners, and curtain rods, but not
for decor items.
- Overstock excels in offering high-end rugs, beds, and armchairs
at low prices, but their large wooden items often arrive
damaged.
- Pottery Barn has great lighting and affordable rugs, but their
larger furniture pieces are often overpriced.
