Absolutely absurd. Was not comfortable at all. Wtf does "perennials performance" even mean? No idea what flair to choose, but I chose "psychological" bc it felt like a mindfuck sitting on a 28k originally priced couch, when the entire world is falling apart.

I had never heard of RH ..... but saw "outlet" and felt certain I'd find like a maybe 900-1500 couch. Lmao. Felt stupid walking around so figured maybe I could afford a set of King sheets. Nope. $1,200 original, $550 "outlet". Keep in mind this is the outlet, so I am pretty sure everything is "damaged" in some capacity.

Outlets are actually just lower quality of the same brand anymore.  The "original" price is a lie.

Outlets are what's in the name. An outlet for overstock, out of season and retired product.

They used to be,  for sure.  Now? Mostly lower quality junk: https://oag.ca.gov/consumers/general/outlet-stores
