Promising review: "I love this shelf unit. I have a small bathroom with limited storage. My tiny sink cabinet had so much unused space so I ordered this product. I'm super pleased with how it fits all of my things. I had to put it together and take it apart a number of times to get it to fit properly in my cabinet, but I finally got it in correctly! I highly recommend this product if you have a small cabinet and want to utilize all of the space available!" —Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $24.97 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "I live in a small apartment with an even smaller bedroom. Storage is, as you can imagine, a necessity if you hope to have anything in your house at all. While it was a pain to put together (it took almost three hours and two people), this bed has been delightful. It not only has storage under the mattress (the part that lifts up) but for smaller, thinner things, you can store them under the whole bed. I have a thin art portfolio that is generally a bear to try and store and it fits just neatly under the whole bed while thicker things, like my canvases, fit inside. It lifts and goes down quite easily (which, for someone with joint problems, is saying a lot) and the whole thing seems rather solidly built, especially for the price." —Rachel

Promising review: "This is super convenient. I got this for my husband so he did not have to bend down and search for his shoes under the bed. This has room for more than the four or five big pairs of shoes he has on there. It's a pretty deep shelf — so he could add other things to it too. Plus, it rolls smoothly and is not too tall." —Mama Writes

Promising review: "This storage tower is awesome and such a space-saver. I live in a small apartment with little cabinet space, so I used this tower for my spices right in between my stove and refrigerator. It was also the easiest thing to assemble (no tools required)!" —S.J.
Get it from Amazon for $29.44+ (available in black and white).
Promising review: "This was very easy to install. It looks great in our bedroom corner. Plus, it's very sturdy." —Denise
Get it from The Home Depot for $21.94.
Promising review: "We bought this piece about a month ago. I gave this product five stars for several reasons. First, you cannot beat the price. Second, for small spaces, it serves many purposes. It acts as an end table, lamp, power source, and bookshelf. For our small apartment, it is really useful. It was surprising to me that nearly everyone who has come to our new place has remarked on what a fun and useful piece of furniture it is!" —Abby NYC
Get it from Amazon for $104.99 (available in black, brown, and white).
Promising review: "This is beautiful, unexpectedly! It looks much more expensive, and the storage space inside is ample. Living in a smaller sized apartment, this is a perfect medium-sized ottoman. It's not too small as to be useless and not too large as to eat up the whole room. I bought the white one. Also, it is sturdy enough to sit on and to put your drinks or books on. The seaming is slightly off, but to an untrained eye, this will go unnoticed. This is truly a great buy!" —Lady
Get it from Amazon for $67.81 (available in 11 colors).
Promising review: "These are so nice. They're great for a small space and you can 'un-nest' them if you need a few more small tables for a cocktail party or anything else." —Michelle
Get the set of three from AllModern for $226 (originally $456).
Plus, it will be easy to move whenever you decide to leave your tiny space!
Promising review: "I have a tiny apartment with even tinier kitchen, so that means I needed something like this! It's just big enough to provide a decent workspace without overwhelming my tiny apartment. Plus, since it's on wheels, it can be tucked away when not in use, which is a bonus! The wood top has been varnished or lacquered, so it can't be used as a cutting surface, but that's OK, I just put my favorite cutting board on top of it, and it's all good!" —mperryckdcbd
Get it from Amazon for $104.90+ (available in four colors).
Promising review: "I bought this lamp/speaker the first day it hit the store shelves. The sound is amazing! It's such a great use of space as it is also a lamp. It is the perfect balance between functional design and technology. I highly recommend this product." —CraftyChick063
Get it from Ikea for $189.

Promising review: "Recently removed the radiators out of my old house, and the bathroom had a narrow space that just looked empty. This fit perfectly, providing much-needed storage, and keeps the room from looking cluttered. Easy to assemble and sturdy enough that I am not afraid of it falling apart. Love this!" —Amber Kuhn

Promising review: "The shelves complement my living room perfectly. After ordering one initially, I ended up buying a second because it looks so good and was able to add decoration into corners of the living room that otherwise were too small to hang anything. I get so many compliments and I’m able to store all of my little trinkets and meaningful small things that are usually bound to get put away somewhere." —Sara

Promising review: "This is easy to assemble. All the pieces were labeled and the instructions were simple to follow. It looks great in my small bathroom. It adds a lot of space for my toiletries. The only downside was three labels that were on the top shelf facing front. A little Goo Gone solved that problem. I definitely recommend this item especially if you have a small bathroom." —Mary P
Get it from Amazon for $65.95 (available in white, grey, and brown).
Promising review: "This is the perfect addition for a small (usually messy) kitchen. Now I always know where the paper towels are. The top shelf is a great place to keep often-used items (honey, sriracha sauce, garlic powder, etc.), and the hooks at the bottom work well for small potholders. The magnet holds well—I have not had any issues with the rack sliding down the side of my fridge. I think this is a great product." —C. A. Fuchs
Get it from Amazon for $33.24.

Promising review: "This is a great way to reduce clutter! It's a perfect storage solution for me. I put mine in my bedroom between my bed and the wall. I put it together in a flash, and the fabric bins are very nice. I love the neutral colors available. Plus, you can store a lot of stuff in a very small space!" —RaySing4Carrots
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in 11 colors).
Promising review: "We bought three sets for our living room, and we are very happy with our purchase. The items arrived fast and not damaged. They're sheer enough to let lots of light in during the day but still offer some privacy. Also, the white helps brighten up the room." —Kronos One

Promising review: "So far I am impressed! This futon is huge and feels sturdy. I purchased another futon a month ago and had to return it because it was too flimsy. This one, however, I have been able to lounge around on thus far with no problems. It's comfy and feels very stable. It is very heavy and easy to assembly. I have a very small space, but it fits perfectly." —Impressed
Get it from Novogratz at Walmart for $329 (available in seven colors).
Okay, maybe that's still a stretch, but the more counter space you have visible, the larger your kitchen will seem!
Promising review: "I just moved into an apartment with a small kitchen and this drainer is just the right size. And the fact that it collapses for storage is a huge plus. Also having a drainage tray is handy so it doesn't have to drain into the sink. I have a dishwasher but you can't wash everything in it. This drainer makes things much easier." —smr61754
