Stylish Steal: Acrylic Stool/Table

We seem to get a lot more hits when we post acrylic furniture deals, so we will continue to feature this type of furniture.

This stool/accent table is a great example of how a small piece can transform a room.  Its smart to invest in a couple “splurge” pieces and save money on things like couches.  A moderately priced couch with exquisite pillows and luxe accessories  for example looks better than an empty room with a lone, expensive couch.

I really like this as a side table or nightstand even.  Its petite, but it also has some storage.  For $89.70, you just can’t beat the price.

Clear Acrylic/Lucite Stools: High-End vs Stylish Bargain

(Acrylic, Lucite, Ghost, Clear or Plastic) furniture is often prohibitively expensive and has always been popular.  Surprisingly this material was initially manufactured in 1937.  For a brief history go read this great article at Apartment Therapy.

These pieces are often in demand because they add dimension and make a room appear larger and airy.  The furniture also looks fairly unique despite its popularity.  The high-end garden stool listed is exquisite, but the expense is not justified. The stylish bargain acrylic crystal stool is similar, but not quite the same.  While the stylish bargain is less modern, it does the job of creating a modern and refined look indoors or outdoors.

This is an all-time big difference in price; a 94% difference ($139 vs $2380) in price! The difference in price is $2241.
