Sales alert: Container Store, BoConcept, more

Given the sluggish state of the home furnishings industry, are we surprised the sales keep on coming? And we’re not talking about just Christmas ornaments on clearance. BoConcept, the modern design chain with a store in Santa Monica, is running a sale through Jan. 25 on in-stock upholstered furniture and Basic XT media storage units; they’re all 20% off, which may not sound like much at first. But on a 6-by-11-foot entertainment unit, normally $5,800, that means savings of $1,160. While supplies last, Viva Terra is offering its bark candlesticks made of recycled aluminum for $89 a pair, reduced from $179. At the Container Store, Elfa closet organization and storage pieces are 30% off through Feb. 9. Crate & Barrel has deep discounts on accessories. In stores and online, the Scout recently spied handblown glass Diva candleholders in cobalt blue for 95 cents, down 88% from the original $7.95 price. Some nicely restrained bone china ornaments, originally $14.95 each, have been marked down to $5.95.
