Hmm, really? While they certainly aren't the highest quality, I'd put them on par with Gap stuff. I've had no issues yet...knock on wood.
I've bought a few pieces there and they just don't hold up for me - nothing too major, just loose buttons or threads. My big beef with them is their patterned tops aren't lined up on the seams - I don't know if that makes sense, if it doesn't, I'll try to explain it better.
