- Walmart is selling a dupe of a pricey West Elm swivel chair.
- Walmart's Mira Velvet Swivel Chair costs $248, while West Elm's Cozy Swivel Chair costs as much as $899.
Fans of West Elm should run — not walk — to buy a $248 dupe of the luxury brand's pricey swivel chair at Walmart.
Whispers about Walmart's Better Homes & Gardens Mira Swivel Chair hit the internet late last year. The velvet chair is 17.25 inches tall and 22 inches wide with 360-degree rotation. It's typically sold in either olive or cream, but the cream version is currently unavailable. No assembly is required, according to the product description.
In December 2023, a TikTok user who goes by @guiliannagm shared a video of herself unboxing the chair. When a commenter asked for a review of the item, the TikToker wrote that it was "so comfortable" and "great quality."
Shoppers have also left overwhelmingly positive reviews on Walmart's official website, resulting in a 4.9 out of 5-star rating.
On Monday, Apartment Therapy's Morgan Pryor noted that the swivel chair sold at Walmart is a near-identical dupe to West Elm's Cozy Swivel Chair. West Elm's version, which is 28 inches tall and 36 inches wide, comes in many distinct colors offered at different price points.
While certain colors like ink blue will cost $699, other colors like frost gray are priced at $749. The most expensive option, which includes a sand deco weave design, appeared to cost $899.
Like the Walmart dupe, the original West Elm chair arrives fully assembled.
Discussing product dupes online is nothing new, but social media apps like TikTok and X, formerly known as Twitter, have helped people track down deals quickly.
This month, shoppers looking for a deal were enticed by a dupe of a $1,200 Anthropologie mirror selling at Costco and Sam's Club for $150. Fans of both stores excitedly shared the news in videos.
And lots of social media users have raved about Stanley cups, but other options, like the Simple Modern 40-Ounce Tumbler, are garnering attention. One woman's TikTok praising her Simple Modern tumbler gained 165,000 views this month.
"Simple Modern > Stanley! Hands down!" the caption read.
