Double-Take: Target vs. Pottery Barn

It's time for another double-take, where we take one item from Tar-jay and pair it up with a dead-ringer designer piece. Today we have two pretty (and functional) drink dispensers, just in time for warm-weather entertaining. Both are fashioned to serve your chosen beverage in the top section and to display fruit on the bottom. The only real difference is the price, because one is from Pottery Barn and will set you back $89, whereas the other is from Target and costs just under $49.

Which one is which? The answer appears in the comments section below.

Target Addict said...: I know, I know... it's pretty easy to tell from the stylized stock photos that the Target dispenser is the one on the left, and the Pottery Barn one is on the right. But for virtually the same product, is the PB one really worth $40 more?; April 20, 2012 at 8:05 AM
Kitty said...: Definitely NOT! Target products are always very functional and good for the wallet.

Suzy said...: I think the fact that the Target piece has a PLASTIC spigot and the Pottery Barn one is stainless steel would lead me to the PB one. Don't need more food products through chinese plastic.; April 22, 2012 at 8:01 AM
