Which Coffee Table Is the $700 Pottery Barn Piece or $140 Walmart Dupe?

Product duplicates, or "dupes," can have wildly lower pricing than nearly identical offerings from brand-name options. Can you tell which farmhouse-style coffee table is from Pottery Barn and which is a copycat from Walmart?

In the face of rising prices that can seem disconnected from the material cost and labor, many shoppers are turning to furniture dupes to save money while still staying up to date with current trends in home decor.

Walmart often offers furniture that is nearly identical to much more expensive products, but some wonder if the quality is still there. Find out all the differences and see some other great deals at Walmart this week.

Walmart Secrets: 7 genius hacks all Walmart shoppers should know

1. Rustic Farmhouse Round Coffee Table

Price: $699

With a high price tag, you might expect the table to take out the trash or do the dishes — but no, it's just a table. Is it at least solid hardwood like a real country farmhouse table? Also no!

It has some solid spruce wood but is also MDF covered in a spruce veneer. The round tabletop is 44 inches in diameter and about 17" high. Before you rush to Pottery Barn to grab one, see how the Walmart alternative holds up in comparison.

2. Modern Farmhouse Round Coffee Table

Price: $138.99

Walmart has a Flash Deal on this Pottery Barn dupe table until July 27, but even at its regular price of $229.99, it's a bargain comparatively.

The main visual difference is the leg style. However, the tabletop is described as natural wood, which many prefer to the engineered wood product known as MDF. The diameter is slightly smaller at 32 inches, but it stands roughly the same height at 17 inches.

3. Ceramic Table Lamps Set

A matching set of table lamps that goes with any decor is hard to find, especially at a great price, but a Walmart Flash Deal has you covered. Grab a set of two white ceramic lamps now so your home will be cozy and bright as the days begin to shorten in preparation for autumn.

Price: $42.99

The modern style of this tiered side-table almost seems to defy gravity with strategic placement of support legs, making it an interesting piece to accent any room. Three shelves offer plenty of storage space vertically while minimizing the amount of floorspace used. Be sure to grab this Flash Deal before it ends on July 27.

5. Three-Tier Modern Standing Lamp

Price: $35.99

Savvy shoppers may recall a similar-looking lamp featured in the Aldi Finds deals last week, but now Walmart offers a similar lamp for a few dollars more. The standing floor lamp has three tiers of shelving and offers three lighting color temperatures to adjust for your home needs. The lamp is regularly priced at $79.99, so the flash deal aligns the pricing with what Aldi offers regularly. If you missed the limited availability, grabbing one from Walmart is the second-best option for your wallet.

6. Ombre Crushed Chiffon Sheer Curtains Set

Price: $23.79

An ombre gradient and a sheer crinkled chiffon make these long window drapes a quick and easy way to elevate the elegance of any room in your home. They are perfect for allowing light while still obfuscating the view from neighbors or pedestrians.

7. Bottom line

Product dupes plus Walmart Flash Deals equals extra value and savings. Most shoppers don't mind paying more for higher quality; however, when the base quality is the same, there is every reason to grab a copycat dupe instead of paying hundreds of dollars more for a brand name.

Walmart often offers product duplicates at significant savings compared to their brand-name counterparts, so if you're looking to stretch your furniture budget, you'll want to try their dupes — along with some other popular Walmart hacks to save money.
