When it comes to finding great pieces for your home, reading price tags can be tricky. Take a look at these almost-identical zebra rugs at very different prices. Can you tell the difference?
Zebra-print cowhides are a favorite among magazine stylists -- they lend that earthy, sexy vibe to a room and complement just about any color scheme. But how much is that worth to you?
Splurge?
The main reason for the hefty price tag on the Design Within Reach rug? Quality leather. This one starts with Edelman Leather in cream and is screenprinted in deep brown -- in Italy, no less. We love how the zebra design runs almost to the very edges of the rug, making it look totally polished, in comparrison to the bare edges of the Walmart piece.
Or Save?
The Walmart version is also imported -- from Brazil, not Italy. There's no info about the leather used, other than the fact that it's a natural cowhide. The zebra print is stenciled on and at 5' by 7' but in addition to the benefit of its stellar price, it's also slightly larger than the 5' by 6' DWR rug.
