14 Walmart’s Mainstays Brand Items That Are Better (And Cheaper) Than High-End Versions

Before you shop for furniture and home goods at pricier brands like Pottery Barn and West Elm, it is worth your time to check out Walmart's Mainstays line.

One of the best hacks Walmart shoppers use to save money is buying the store's own brands when it comes to home items, especially kitchenware.

From cookware to couches, Walmart offers incredible dupes of high-end designs, saving you hundreds. Make sure to browse this line instead of overspending on your budget.

Price: $35.97

If you've always wanted a Dutch oven to cook with, you have to check out Walmart's prices before going anywhere else. Crate&Barrel sells a very similar LeCreuset for $419.95. Walmart's version is 4.75 quarts and oven-safe. The best part is that it's just under $36.

Save yourself hundreds of dollars and try this insanely-budget friendly Walmart hidden gem — more than 350 shoppers gave this item five-star reviews. Plus, you can choose from three color options: blue, red, and white.

Price: $5.63

This is the perfect to-go container for anyone who loves to meal prep.

While social media has been raving about the $40 Sustainable DeLuxe Bowl storage container on Amazon, you can get a similar product from Walmart for much cheaper: only $5.63. It has a 47-ounce capacity, comes with a mini utensil, and a simple lock lid.

Price: $10.40

When you don't want to spend a ton of money on home decor, Walmart's Mainstays line really comes in handy. This decorative black knot is 5 inches by 5 inches and adds such an elegant aesthetic to a space, but it doesn't have to break the bank.

Pottery Barn's Reclaimed Wooden Knot is slightly larger yet looks just the same, but it sells for a shocking $199.

Price: $12.96

Some dupes aren't exact replicas of a high-end product but they are close enough that it's totally worth saving the money.

For example, this Walmart embroidered pillow totally reminds us of Pottery Barn's Zea Pillow, but for half the price. When you compare $12.96 to $22.50, there's a clear winner.

Price: $127.00

Sure, you could spend $999 on Pottery Barn's Malcolm Rectangular Coffee Table. Or, you could spend only $127 on a complete 3-piece rustic living room set from Walmart, featuring not only a coffee table but two side tables as well.

"It was easy to put together, it's very sturdy and it gives my apartment the touch it needed," wrote one customer.

Price: $5.97

Instead of spending $27 for a 3-wick White Barn candle at Bath & Body Works, why not opt for a $6 version from Walmart?

You can get yourself two or three candles to put in each room of the house. You can pick from a ton of different scents, from vanilla to hazelnut cream.

Price: $12.46

If you don't want to spend a ton of money on decorative items, then consider the Mainstays line your best friend.

The medium size is 12 inches and just below $13, totally outshining the $39 Pottery Barn version that's only 10 inches high. This is a fantastic, and thrifty way to bring elegant light into your space.

Price: $58.97

If you've been eyeing the cloud ottoman on social media, then consider this your sign to finally pick one up for yourself.

Instead of spending $499 at West Elm with the Emmett Round Storage Ottoman, you can spend only $59 at Walmart for a very similar design — some say even nicer.

Plus, you can choose from three color options: Cream, Blush, and Sage.

Price: $34.52

While we do love Crate&Barrel designs, we don't always love their prices. The exact same design for Echelon C Table costs $249.

However, you can pick up Walmart's option for only $34.52, which looks practically identical to the higher-end design.

One customer wrote, "They're surprisingly sturdy for how lightweight they are and look good for the low price."

Price: $106.00 (on sale from $118.00)

If you're looking to add a cozy corner to your living room or bedroom, you might want to check out this accent chair from Walmart.

With a rubber wood frame and polyester cushion, this chair is perfect for morning coffee or an evening read.

Compare this to Crate&Barrel's (practically identical design) Ojai chair that sells for $799.

Price: $177.00

If there's one piece of furniture that tends to be out of our price range, it's a media console. That's where we turn to Walmart for help.

While we love Crate&Barrel's identical design for the Tate 64.5" Walnut Storage Media Console, we don't love the $1,399 price.

This Walmart version is a no-brainer for less than $150. It has four cabinets, ample storage space, a stunning walnut finish, and soft-closing doors.

Price: $187.00 (on sale from $230.00)

Not only is this an excellent dupe for the $1,049.99 Pottery Barn Primus Metal Bed, but it's on sale. Save $43 when you pick up this chic black bed frame from Walmart for only $187.

"Saw a video on TikTok and could not order it fast enough. It was just what I was looking for," wrote one customer.

Price: $59.98

There's nothing classier than a glass table with gold accents. While we love the Everson Glass table from Pottery Barn ($699), Walmart's $60 version looks just like it and leaves room in our budget to decorate every room of the house.

Save over $600 when you opt for the Mainstays design and you'll still get the same chic aesthetic.

Price: $57.00 (on sale from $64.00)

You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on a comfy office chair.

Instead of overspending on $499 on a similar design from Pottery Barn (Hartley Upholstered Swivel Desk Chair), opt for this Walmart design that's on sale for only $57. "This is the most comfortable office chair I've ever had," wrote customer SpringB.

It may be tempting to overspend on designer furniture for your home, but if you've got a tight budget in mind, Walmart's Mainstays line will help keep you in check.
