'Tis the summer of collaboration for Urban Outfitters, as they introduce a furniture collection with the aid of Blu Dot. Called +oo, the line features very basic items like bedside tables, a futon and a sling chair typical of UO, but at prices slightly under DWR's range.

Of the collection, we're only really feeling the "Lily Pad" coffee table since items like the $648 Bendzo sofa already looks like the stuff they've been pushing off onto kids just out of college and in their first real apartments; not to mention that the "In a Pinch" chair just appears cheap and hard to get out of.

What do you think? Would any of these pieces make you skip a trip to Design Within Reach or Blu Dot itself? Or is this more like an "IKEA's greatest hits" collection?
