@bargainsgirl I just watched that presentation and couldn't believe the whole thing! At one point the hosts asked them what they would use the item for, and they said they didn't know???? Or, something to that effect.

I just looked at what was being sold today. It's definitely overpriced junk.

Every little town in Oklahoma with more than 100 people has a "unique" store that sells stuff like this. If you are in need, come to Oklahoma and you can buy real original junk! And it's "unique!"

Tastes differ, but it does seem overpriced.

@bargainsgirl

Since I don't watch, this line is new to me.

Took a look at the offerings and....seems I've seen the same or similar items in the Hobby Lobby ad I get in my email.

If she can convince folks to buy at those prices, well, OK then.

I agree, they're simply capitalizing on their brand, selling quite common things you can find elsewhere for less, in the "style" of their business which used to take actual "junk" and refashion into decor. Because of the uniqueness to some of the items...fashioned in their style...they feel they can get those prices. I wonder how many are buying.

I looked and I do like the "shabby chic" type side board, which I actually could use one narrow like that and I love those hammered metal looking, scroll designed drawers. However, at about $450.00 (with s/h and tax)...I wouldn't spend that for composite board. Wayfair has some very nice ones for 1/3 to 1/2 less, that would suit me fine. Anything I've gotten from WF was decent quality for what it was.

None of WF's has those pretty drawers, and of course that's the design feature here they're probably hoping helps to sell it.

I'm thinking a veneer can even be put on any piece's drawers, by a motivated crafty person.

I used to like the actual JG show where they took you "junking" with them, and showed you the remondel they used all the things for...long ago it was on A&E.

@Love my grandkids lol. One woman's junk is another woman's treasure. I saw two different items only last night - when I came back to QVC the second time, the first item I saw had sold out. I never checked on the decorative shelf that was the other.

I do think the line is pricey, so those who are able could probably shop secondhand and redo, but I can safely say that I will not do that, so if I wanted/needed exactly what was being offered, I would pay for it.

I wonder how well this line is doing on the Q and how long they will stay. You can buy almost all of these things at an antique shop for 1/2 the price.

LOL! At least where I live the state is flooded with this kind of stuff. New, from China, home-made, "antique" store offerings. It is so readily available and so inexpensive compared to this.

If you like this style, check out the local botiques, antique and junk shops. You will have a lot of fun!

As a retired antiques dealer with 40 years experience, I was shocked at the cheesy quality and prices. With a little sleuthing you can find the real stuff.

@millieshops I like some so called "junk" and some shabby chic, but I think these prices are waaay over the top. If people want to spend that kind of money, okey dokey, but not me.

I'd rather go to Homegoods and get my "junk" for less.

Just went & checked out these items. I didn't see anything I really loved. The prices seem high to me. I've seen similar items for less at At Home & Home Goods.
