When I want the Crate & Barrel look but need to spend less, I check Target first. These seven stylish substitutes deliver a similar feel at lower prices.
1. Acacia Wood Cutting Board Set – 3 Piece Natural – $75.00
This three-board set stands in for the Crate & Barrel end-grain acacia butcher block cutting board ($84.95), with useful sizes for everyday prep. The graduated boards make it easier to choose a surface that fits the job instead of crowding the counter.
Standout Features: The acacia wood boards measure 15 by 10 inches, 12 by 8 inches, and 9 by 6 inches. Each includes a juice canal, and the wood should never be soaked.
Best For: It suits cooks who want coordinated prep boards in multiple sizes. Wipe them down promptly and keep them out of standing water.
Parting Thoughts: For a kitchen upgrade that will actually earn counter time, the three-piece format makes this a practical buy.
2. 9 fl oz Cassin Plastic Straight Short Tumbler with Stripes- Threshold™ – $3.00
At $3.00, the striped Cassin tumbler is an easy substitute for the Crate & Barrel Atwell 11-Ounce Stackable Ribbed Double Old-Fashioned Glass. I like it for casual drinks when I want that ribbed look without worrying about putting glass into everyday rotation.
Standout Features: This 9-fluid-ounce cup is made from BPA-free copolyester and intended for cold beverages. It is dishwasher-safe but should not go in the microwave.
Best For: Use it for water or other cold drinks at relaxed table settings. It is especially handy in homes where a lightweight cup makes more sense than glassware.
Parting Thoughts: The smaller capacity will not suit everyone, but the design delivers plenty of style for $3.00.
3. Cicely Waterfall Bench Cream Boucle – Threshold™: Padded, No Assembly, Bedroom Furniture – $180.00
For a bedroom or entryway, the Cicely bench channels the Crate & Barrel Martini Small Upholstered Ottoman by Leanne Ford through its continuous waterfall shape. It arrives ready to place, which spares you an evening of furniture assembly.
Standout Features: The padded rectangular bench has a plywood frame, polyester upholstery, and a curved waterfall silhouette. It measures 17.72 inches high by 38.39 inches wide by 15.94 inches deep and weighs 16.06 pounds.
Best For: It works as occasional seating or a soft accent at the end of a bed. Spot-cleaning is the prescribed care, so I would be cautious in especially spill-prone spaces.
Parting Thoughts: Anyone drawn to sculptural upholstered furniture will appreciate how much presence this bench brings.
4. Warwick Library Cabinet Black – Threshold™: Rattan-Panel Doors, Wood Veneer, 52" Height – $400.00
Clutter disappears behind the Warwick cabinet’s rattan-panel doors, while the overall design recalls the Crate & Barrel Blake Teak and Rattan 2-Door Storage Cabinet. At 52 inches tall, it adds useful closed storage without taking over an entire wall.
Standout Features: The painted wood frame and wood-veneer surfaces pair with both fixed and adjustable shelving. Anti-tip anchoring hardware is included, and adult assembly is required with some tools provided.
Best For: Choose it for dining-room supplies, living-room odds and ends, or entryway storage. Measure the 32.8-inch width and 13.9-inch depth before ordering.
Parting Thoughts: It earns its spot here by combining the sought-after wood-and-rattan look with genuinely functional shelving.
5. Plank+Beam 48" Modern Rectangular Coffee Table with Shelf, Solid Wood Table with Storage – $219.00
A smaller living room can get the substantial look of the Crate & Barrel Terra Natural solid white oak coffee table from this Plank+Beam version. Its 48-by-24-inch footprint provides a strong visual anchor without requiring an oversized seating area.
Standout Features: The rectangular table has a wood frame, wood tabletop, brown coloring, and a lower storage shelf. It stands 15 inches high, weighs 63 pounds, and requires adult assembly with tools not provided.
Best For: It is best for someone who likes clean, weighty furniture shapes and wants an open shelf for frequently used items. Plan to supply your own assembly tools.
Parting Thoughts: Apartment dwellers may find this scale more manageable than the larger designer inspiration.
6. Vernon Upholstered Barrel Swivel Accent Chair Rust: No Assembly, Cushioned, Polyester – Threshold™ with Studio McGee – $380.00
My pick for a reading corner is the Vernon chair, a rounded alternative to the Crate & Barrel Vera Swivel Chair. The swivel function makes it flexible beside a conversation area, and no assembly is required.
Standout Features: Its upholstered barrel form uses a plywood frame and polyester textile, with an exposed wood base. The chair measures 29.1 inches high by 29.3 inches wide by 27.6 inches deep and weighs 53.9 pounds.
Best For: It fits compact living rooms and reading nooks that need one cushioned accent seat. Check the 21.25-inch seat width and 22-inch depth against your comfort preferences.
Parting Thoughts: The plywood frame is a tradeoff, though the swivel base and rounded profile preserve the appeal of the pricier reference.
7. Natural Polyresin Floor Lamp – Room Essentials™ – $75.00
Soft ambient lighting is where this floor lamp makes its case as a budget counterpart to the Crate & Barrel Toro / Weave Natural Floor Lamp. Its curved shade and tall profile can warm up a bedroom or living-room corner without competing with the furniture.
Standout Features: The lamp has a polyresin body and a curved shade made from polyester and polystyrene. It stands 61.5 inches tall, uses a standard E26 bulb base, and requires adult assembly; tools and bulbs are not included.
Best For: Try it where you want an additional layer of light rather than a bare decorative corner. Remember to pick up a compatible bulb and have tools ready.
Parting Thoughts: For $75.00, it is worth considering when the Crate & Barrel lighting silhouette matters more than matching its materials.
