Okay, explain this to me. I go to look up wooden embroidery stands online, they are like $800, which is not happening, so it looks like I need an alternative. I’m looking at an alternative embroidery stand, which is metal and comes with an LED light and magnifier and pattern holder. There are two options. One is $170 and called “Stich Smart 2 Embroidery Stand.” The other is $120 and is called “Art Deco.” I can’t figure out the difference, so I get the $170 one to be on the safe side. The product arrives and is cool and all, but there’s no LED light or pattern holder included. I go back and look at the $120 “Art Deco,” and it shows the magnifier etc. I guess that’s the cost for those two accessories? But the item description says it includes the stand. I ordered what I think are the attachments but may in fact come with another stand but _if they do,_ why the hell is it $50 cheaper to get MORE stuff? We’ll see what gets shipped to my door. I find this very annoying because it wasn’t sufficiently clear what I was buying didn’t include the accessories, and because calling such a product “Art Deco” makes no sense, and because I was planning to spend $170 not $290. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/june-no-nothing-monthly-mini-rants/1019081)._
