The Pedal Porter Bicycle Crate – $98
What’s that? $98 for a crate I can get for free out of the trash? Anthropologie, you are drunk.
My mom is an artist. I could buy her a new easel for around $200 and take her old, paint-covered one home. Anthropologie, you are drunk.

These are designed to last 100 years. So is the rake that my grandma bought in the ’40s for pennies. Anthropologie, you are drunk.
Do you know what chickens do in coops? They shit. A lot. So maybe you want to spend around $100 buying wood from the hardware store and nailing it together. Or buy a coop that doesn’t cost $3K. Anthropologie, you are drunk.
You can make this ugly chair for nearly free by buying a wood chair at a flea market or garage sale and then taking the legs off a plastic chair you found at another sale. Put the two together, and there you go! An ugly chair for (almost) free. Anthropologie, you are drunk.
For $5K, you can have a couch that looks like your cat clawed it! Or you can buy any couch and let your cat have some fun! Anthropologie, you are drunk.
What have you seen at Anthropologie that is unnecessarily expensive?

The Fugly Banana Chair looks really uncomfortable, too.
And another reason to not shop at Anthropologie/Urban Outfitters: the CEO, Richard Hayne is an ardent supporter of Rick Santorum.
Yuck.
This entire post made me giggle. It looks like relics from a garage sale.
I swear if I walked into someone’s house and saw either of those two chairs, I would run like my ass was on fire.
This. is. hilarious.
Also: WHO BUYS A CHICKEN COOP FROM ANTHROPOLOGIE?? I made mine from old pallets my boyfriend brought home from work. Cost: free. Assholes.
A pre-painted easel? A wood crate?
It makes me sad that there are rich and stupid enough to buy this, but then it also makes me think that I could sell similar stuff to similar people for ridiculous profit…
Wow, that chair is incredibly ugly. Like ..almost offensively so.
What I love is that they name it “banana chair” rather than “godawful buttugly what the shit is this shit chair”. You know, like they should have named it.
There are a lot of stores that I don’t shop at because they are ridiculously expensive–Williams & Sonoma, Neiman Marcus, & Pottery Barn, for example–and Anthropologie is one of the ones that I can’t afford. I’ve walked into one once, looked around, seen a few cute things, looked at price tags, and then promptly walked out. A lot of what they sell is stuff that rips off local artists or etsy artists, and I’d rather pay less and pay the original or buy crap at a thrift store if I want that “shabby chic” look. I mean, come on…really?
