Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate {Industrial Ladder Shelf]

I have been doing some sourcing for a client's office design board.  She sent me the first photo as an inspiration photo and wondered if I could find something less expensive but with the same look.  Not only did I find one that is a very close match...it is a fraction of the price! 

Break the Bank:
$2895

Cheapskate:
$599.99
Link: Metal Bookcase



While I am always cautious to order something online that I have never seen in person, World Market has a reputation for quality products so I would feel fine recommending this to my client.  Another helpful hint while shopping online is to check the online reviews!  This particular piece does not have any reviews yet, but it is always good to take time to read them if they are provided!

What do you think? Isn't this a great find!

      They do have great products and I love how often they get new things!

    I love the dupe that you found; The only difference I can see is the slightly smaller back X-bar and the color of the cabinets, which is something that can be quickly DIY'ed.

      I actually prefer the darker wood on the WM version, but that is just my taste. And the price difference makes it a great affordable option for the same look! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!!
