Not everything at Kohl’s is a good buy. Sometimes the price is too high, and other times, poor reviews or lower quality might make a more expensive item elsewhere a better option.

For seniors stocking up this spring, here are some Kohl’s items to avoid, and where to get them instead.

Walk-In Greenhouse

The Home Complete Walk-In Greenhouse is on sale for $151.71 with the coupon code at checkout, down from $209.99. However, this item hasn’t received great reviews, and you can find it cheaper elsewhere. It also looks like Lowe’s sells a very similar product, but at a much lower price.

Instead, try the Ohuhu Greenhouse from Amazon. It’s similar in size, but it’s only around $85 and has received thousands of reviews from happy customers.

Outdoor Hammock

Spring is a good time to break out the hammock, but most shoppers don’t recommend the Algoma 13-foot double rope hammock from Kohl’s. While it’s on sale for $63.74, reviewers did not like the rope’s quality, and it doesn’t come with a stand like it shows in the photos.

There’s a better alternative on Amazon. It’s more expensive, but the 12-foot hammock comes with a stand and received better reviews from shoppers.

Patio Furniture Set

Most outdoor furniture sets aren’t cheap, so if you’re going to invest in one, it’s best to find one you love!

This four-piece set from Kohl’s, which comes with a loveseat, two chairs and a coffee table, is on sale for around $238, originally $280, but reviews pointed out that it’s small, difficult to assemble, and the wicker is of lower quality.

A better option is this Winston Porter patio set from Wayfair. Reviews noted that assembly was simple, and it’s on sale for a lower price than what you can find at Kohl’s.

Two-Piece Luggage Set

If you need affordable luggage for spring travel, the US Traveler RIO two-piece set is under $50 at Kohl’s. But shoppers gave it mixed reviews due to its quality and size, noting that it looked like a child’s suitcase.

Another similar yet affordable option is this ModernLuxe set from Target, which is $67 on sale, originally $150. It comes with a 20-inch rolling suitcase, a travel bag and a toiletry bag.

Cotton Bath Towel Set

Spring is the perfect time to get new bathroom towels. This Spring Bloom wavy luxury spa collection cotton bath towel set looks soft and luxurious, but a number of shoppers had issues with the towels falling apart and shedding.

A good alternative, and very popular, bath towel set is the Superior Egyptian Cotton Six-Piece Towel Set from Bed Bath & Beyond. Originally almost $165, they’re on sale for about $69. Several customers commented that they’re soft, absorbent and the best towels they’ve ever owned.
