6 Things to Never Buy at Target + What to Get Instead

The Loring collection is stylish but, in my opinion, it’s not a great value.

This Project 62 collection looks stylish from afar, but I’m not a fan of its look up close. 

The warm, wood-grain texture that looked nice at a glance seemed inauthentic to me up close. Turns out, some of the pieces are wood with a paper veneer instead of actual finished wood. 

Some of these items are a little pricey at over $200, so if I was going to buy a substantial furniture piece I’d look for something made out of actual finished wood that has a similar look.
