If you love Restoration Hardware’s furniture but not their prices, I have the perfect store for you – well, perfect nine stores actually! They go by one of three names: Southeastern Salvage Home Emporium, Southeastern Salvage, or Home Emporium but are all owned by the same parent company and all have amazing furniture and home decor deals. The stores are located in the Midwest, South, and East Coast including the towns of Birmingham, Columbia, Knoxville, Mobile, Nashville, Shreveport, Chattanooga, Chesapeake, and Cincinnati (see their website for more info on locations). They have the craziest assortment of items – where else can you get a toilet, jewelry, Pella windows, a tiki hut, and fabulous furniture all in one place?? Check out some of the furniture pieces I found on my recent visit to the Cincinnati store and see how they compare in looks and price to Restoration Hardware’s furniture.
This nailhead chair was one of the first things that caught my eye – I love the lines of the chair and the large nailheads around the base. I also love the price – $169.

Compare it to Restoration Hardware’s Nailhead Upholstered Chair, which has a starting price of $399:

Then I came across this guy selling for $398. Does he look familiar to you?
 |
| Home Emporium (Cincinnati) |
It may be because you just saw him in Restoration Hardware, but at $1025 – over double Home Emporium’s price! It doesn’t just look the same – according to Home Emporium, it is the same. Yep, the identical item from the same manufacturer that makes it for Restoration Hardware.

While they aren’t cheap, they are a steal when you compare them to Restoration Hardware’s comparably sized 76″ Kensington Leather Sofa for $3495

Another great find at Home Emporium was this gal, who had a price tag of $699

| Home Emporium (Cincinnati) |
While Restoration Hardware doesn’t have an identical match to this table, they do carry a table in the same size and finish but with bulkier legs with a much higher $1245 price tag:

Looking for a large wood coffee table? I forgot to write down the price of this big guy at Home Emporium
 |
| Home Emporium (Cincinnati) |
but I’m sure he’s cheaper than his kissing cousin at Restoration Hardware that will cost you $1595 or $1925 depending upon the size:

Home Emporium also carries a ton of mirrors, including this one for $198

| Home Emporium (Cincinnati) |
who looks very much like this one at Restoration Hardware for $325

| Restoration Hardware’s Trumeau Mirror |
Home Emporium also has tons of other great furniture pieces that aren’t Restoration Hardware knock-offs but are still amazing. Here are some of my favorite pieces:

If you live anywhere near a Southeastern Salvage Home Emporium, Southeastern Salvage, or Home Emporium or are traveling nearby for the holidays, it is definitely worth a trip!
Have a great Monday!
Wow, great finds compared to the expensive Restoration Hardware. I might need to make a trip to Home Emporium real soon!
I consider myself quite the shopper but I have never heard of this place!!!! They certainly have some fantastic deals so I must see if they have a location near me [Atlanta]. Thanks for the heads up!!!
Thank you very much! Appreciate that!
Thanks so much for this tip. The only issue is that I clicked on this link and they don’t seem to have an online store. I live in Australia so really need the store to ship overseas. Everything is so ridiculously pricey here so I want to buy from overseas (for the price and the much bigger choice). Do you know any other online stores that are similar to Restoration hardware but are cheaper and ship overseas?
Thanks 🙂
You’re right Justine – unfortunately they don’t have an online store and don’t ship. There used to be another store with items similar to Restoration Hardware that shipped overseas but it recently went out of business and I don’t know of any others. Sorry I couldn’t help!
Hi Kris,
Undoubtedly, you’ve recieved a lot of responses to this article. I am in the market for tufted leather couches and I wanted to inquire if the items you found above are knockoffs, of RH or are they also from the same manufacturer and of equal quality? – Thx/Aali
kris, I am interested in the coffee table that is on the website. Could youbtell me how much?
Thanks Tracey white
Tracey, I don’t have any pricing info – you’d have to call the store but there’s a good chance that they don’t even have it anymore (this post is from several years ago).
Why are you even on this site if you have so much money?!! You are such a rude snob so quit worrying about what others are doing to save some money. Your comment was ridiculous!
Furthermore, RH makes all of their product in China. Their mark-up is in the thousands – you’re not buying quality by any means. Your comment is not only tasteless, baseless. 🙂
I’m looking for a RH or “look alike” 60″ wide bookshelf, natural wood finish, bought one in 2011 and need a match or something that will compliment the existing.
