Full review
With moving into a "new" house, much smaller in fact, I needed to revamp many of my previous home furnishings. I had picked up the Brylane Home catalog at a friend's house and liked what I saw. I noticed it had a website so when I got home I checked it out.
Just like the catalog it is colorful and tempting with all its offerings. What caught my eye was all the sales featured. The web pages are easy to navigate with just quick clicks.
Brylane Home Online, as well as the catalog, features a majority of bedding items such as comforters, quilts, sheets, pillows, mattress pads,etc. Most are on sale, saying "any size" for a certain price from $29.99 and up.
Also there are many home accent pieces featured on the pages along with the bed items. These home decor pieces are not your run of the mill, they are fun items to go with certain styles in your home from country to ocean themes to oriental, and many in between. There are also some cookware and kitchen items to choose from.
Some of the items I have seen on Brylane I have seen at stores throughout the area at a higher price. It made me feel good to know I had a better place to buy them.
My first purchase online was a set of two rattan trunks for $99.00. I knew they were good size from the measurements given, but WOW, when I got them, they are phenomenal! I am storing linens in one and my huge featherbed fits in the largest one. I am very happy with them.
My most recent purchase was a beautiful pinwheel quilt. It is much prettier in person than in the catalog or online, however it was represented well online. It was a "one price" any size item for $39.99. I can't wait to use it on one of these upcoming cold winter nights.
When you choose to order online you will be prompted to set up an account. You will find it very easy and quick to do so. I felt confident with the secure connection.
You are given ample time to change your mind with your selections as you add them to your shopping cart. You will see the final billing amount before you finally submit your order.
My latest order came in approximately 6 days. The trunks took just a couple days longer, but I was not surprised since they were so big!
I will continue to look forward to my catalogs to browse through, but when I order I will definitely continue to order online at BrylaneHome.com
