Three reasons to love Pier1:
1) Accent Pillows. They don't last forever and are a relatively inexpensive was to freshen a living area.
2) Curtain. Ditto - Accent Pillows most favored cousin.
3) Drink ware. Break a glass at my house and I couldn't be less concerned (get the broom and drink on) - that's why none of my glasses match. But - they gotta be actual GLASS.
Pier1's selection of these items is fantastic - though a bit pricey on the textile side.
Two reasons to not love Pier1:
1) They are now selling scarves and necklaces. Irritating.
2) Frequently items are broken - this causes me ignore most of their offerings.
Also, it's crazy cramped. So 4-stars from me. Pillows and curtains and drinks... oh my!
