One of the chairs in the photo below costs over $1,000.  The other retails for less than $300.  Can you tell which one is the better deal?

Tess-Chair

If you guessed the chair on the right, then you are correct.  The Cute -as-a-Button  Erin Chair from Cost Plus World Market is a steal at only $280.  The chair on the left is the Tess Chair from Crate & Barrel.  It sells for $1,100.  That is quite a difference, for a chair that looks pretty similar, don’t you think?
