Cost Plus World Market

Cost Plus has a great selection of art, home decor and housewares. I recently purchased a really nice reprodcution canvas piece of art for my living room and it was affordable. For those of us who can't spend an "arm & leg" on expensive furnishings, this is a must-shop spot.

PROS: Affordable house decor in an upscale shopping location
CONS:

World market has a wonderful selection of exotic items from around the globe. If you want to give someone a good gift that will be unique, get it here.

Cost Plus World Market has a plethora of exotic merchandise from around the world. They offer a tasteful variety of home dcor from Asia and Africa. You can find some really unique items at real bargains such dishware, furniture, area rugs, and lots of unique knick knacks from all over the globe.

This home store sell home decors from different around the world. The stuffs are nice, I'll admit that but the price suck. They have this window blind from India sell there for $45.99. There's this nice wood dining set, look nothing fancy or pretty, sell there for $569.99! These prices are sky high but the merchandise is not worth the price. I wonder if the people who make those merchandise get what they deserve. The store simply robbing custumer. Even Pier One Import is much cheaper (in term of the price you pay and the merchandise you get in return) I'm not stupid so I won't go there again

this place is way more exciting than is sounds. it is like Pier One, only HUGE and cheaper! I get this sense like there might be something kind of icky about it, because it is too good to be true, like, maybe all of the stuff is made in sweatshops or something...but I don't know for sure, and I don't want to know, because this place RULES~!

Cost Plus is like a lower end Pier 1. As Pier 1 isn't too expensive Cost Plus is like a discount store of home furnishings. The quality is not good at all. Some items are ok but for me not worth the trip.

Shoppers find unique, budget-friendly items, including stylish home accents: baskets from Bali, pottery from Portugal and an eclectic mix of furniture (kitchen islands, tables, couches, bar stools, cabinets). A wide selection of linens, kitchen utensils, dishware, candles, garden decor and bath items are also available. Foodies love to linger in the many aisles filled with gourmet treats like marinated vegetables, olives, spices, grilling oils, cooking sauces, Belgian chocolate, coffee and hundreds of fine wines.

PROS: Great unique selection
CONS: pricey and out of stock often

So i've been to Cost Plus World Market the other day and i was surprise to find that most of the items here are priced way up to HERE! what a rip off. I found this lovely blind shade made in Vietnam, which is also my country that was sell for $39.99, is that rip-off or what? Let me tell you the truth, in Vietnam, that blind only cost $5 max, if you like these kind of blind, i advise you take a trip to Vietnam as a vacation and bring a bunch of these stuff over here, yup, it much cheaper and plus you have a good time. They ship these items mostly from third-world countries where they may have been in sweat shop or something and bring them over here, jack the price up to heaven because American like exotic stuffs. But to be honest, i don't think those items in this store are exotic, they're not good looking, first off and with that kind of price, i rather my house be plain.
If you don't agree then you should take a trip there and see. after that if you mad at me you're always welcome to e-mail me. :)

PROS:
CONS: Rip-off prices, merchandise not exquisite
