I coworker told me few years ago he regretted his decision of joining DirectBuy. We didn't get into specifics so I can't tell you much more than that. Google it and see what you find.

From the very little I know, like any membership type of deal, it's good if you buy in bulk. Kinda like Cotsco or Sams, the more you buy, the more you recoup on your membership fee. So, it may be a good deal if you're the kind of person that refurnish your home every 1 or 2 years.
