1. A contemporary sling chair you can add to your primary bedroom or even use in place of a couch if you have a teensy tiny living room.
Promising review: "Fabric is soft and very nice. Pillows have funky stuffing and definitely require a good fluffing but this chair is certainly a comp for a higher-end one that costs well over $1,000. So still worth it in the end! They are very sturdy and took me almost an hour each to put together. I have a set of two." —Victoria
Get it from Amazon for $94+ (available individually or in a set of two and in seven colors)
2. A canopy bed that'll make you feel like an absolute queen or king even if the only person waiting on you is your cat and it's because you're five minutes late feeding him dinner.
Promising review: "Very happy with this bed. It has clean, simple lines and the bronzy gold color is just the right amount of glamour I was going for. The price was right, so I was worried about how it would hold up. So far so good, and just a little squeaky when...you know, there’s activity. Overall, a good buy for me!" —Molly
Get it from Wayfair for $169.99+ (available in sizes Full–King and in four finishes).
3. An acrylic coffee table so crystal clear, future guests will assume you're *really* on top of your cleaning. To the same point — reviewers suggest placing at least a coffee table book or two on top or you could walk straight into it!
Promising review: "This table is beautiful. Packed remarkably well. I’ve had it a few months now and just love it. Makes my smallish living room look so much larger." —susan e smith
Get it from Amazon for $129+ (available in six styles/sizes).
4. A convertible sectional sofa with a reversible ottoman that makes it a great option for small spaces. Sure, you can probably get one cheaper on Craigslist but who knows what that couch has seen...
Promising review: "As recent bachelor, I found that this little number truly fit the bill in my small apartment. Inexpensive, easy to assemble and surprisingly comfortable for the money. I even feel asleep on it the other night. Thumbs up!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $319.99 (available in four colors).
5. A glass-top dinner table that costs less than $120 saving you plenty of extra $$$ for takeout. (Support your local restaurants, guys!)
Disclaimer: The table comes with lighter beech wood legs but the above reviewer stained theirs to better match existing furniture. If you're looking to do the same, you can pick up some under-$10 wood finishing cloths (available in seven colors).
Promising review: "Perfect size for my apartment. The glass top makes it look more lightweight and less large than it is, but it can seat four just fine for a meal. Like another reviewer, I stained the legs without sanding and it worked perfectly!! It looks much more high-end/expensive looking than the price! If you’re looking for a sign, this is it." —MEscamilla
Get it from Amazon for $111.99.
6. A sleek linen tower you can pile high with bath sheets, washcloths, and face towels or use to display your 30-strong succulent collection.
Promising review: "Purchased this to go over the toilet in our way-too-small bathroom. Adds so much more storage/organization space. It also had adjustable feet on the bottom so when you live in an old and uneven house, you can still have cute and study shelving." —Krissa
Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three styles).
7. A space-saving ladder desk that might just convince you to stop working from bed. Sure, it doesn't have the benefit of six pillows and a duvet, but your spine won't be bent like a cheese curl and you can actually show your background on Zoom.
Promising review: "I had this blank corner in my living room, and I just knew this ladder desk would be a gorgeous addition to the area. I don't have an extra room for an office or even the kind of space in our small home to designate to a bulky desk. It was very easy to assemble. It took maybe 25 minutes to put together. I love having my own spot to get my work done on my MacBook. Plus, this spot is perfect to work on any crafts/DIYs. I added a pouf seat instead of a chair just to save even more space since it easily slides underneath the desk." —Heather Nicholson
Get it from Amazon for $111.98+ (available in four finishes).
8. A set of two boho sideboards with rattan doors capable of hiding all your living room electronics and board game collection so they don't interfere with your carefully crafted aesthetic.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this cabinet for my awkward bathroom space that needed additional storage. It really spruced up the room and I have already received so many compliments on it. It was fairly easy to assemble; I did it by myself in about an hour and a half… even though I probably could have gotten it done faster with an extra set of hands. The cabinet is very cute and trendy with the 'boho chic' look that I have going on in my house, and it is very sturdy and spacious inside." —Missy F.
Get a set of two from Amazon for $199.99.
9. A petite bar cart/serving trolley you can use to show off your collection of fine crystal. (Read: extremely cute $2 glasses you found at a thrift store.)
Promising review: "I was hesitant to get it at first due to the prior reviews but so happy I went for it. Such a great price for what you get. Put this together in just under an hour by myself — was very easy and directions were clear. All I'm missing is the alcohol to complete it but beyond happy with the end result!!! Highly recommended!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three finishes).
10. A glass-and-gold console table on which you can display your most prized objets d'art even if they happen to be a baked-bean Furby sculpture and ~not~ a magazine-worthy spread of vases and vintage pieces.
Intrigued? The "Baked Beanby" — from Sophie G. Stark — is currently sold out, but you can get on their preorder list.
Promising review: "Great purchase and well worth it for the money. Sturdy, stylish, and not too bulky. You won't be disappointed. Setup time is less than 30 minutes. I liked it so much, I've ordered another one!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $99.43+ (available in seven sizes and eight finishes).
11. A velvet storage ottoman with gold hairpin legs for daysssss. Flip over the lid and you'll find a wooden tray perfect for balancing drinks or your dinner.
Promising review: "I love this versatile stool! It’s stylish, well-made, and extremely easy to assemble. When used for seating, it’s comfortable and sturdy; when used as an end table it adds such a fun design element for any space. The storage is also a bonus if you are living in small space like I am. I highly recommend!" —Melissa
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in five colors).
12. A vintage-esque wall-mounted headboard that I audibly gasped at after comparing the low price to the gorgeous reviewer photos. Some things *should* be too good to be true, and this is one of those things!
Promising review: "Ohhh... I've been chasing this headboard for a while, always out of stock... But I finally caught it in stock, ordered, received and mounted to the wall. You just look how cool it is! It is not as heavy as I thought it would be, that's a plus. I (female, 28) mounted it myself, feeling like a handyman over here. 😎😆 Anyway, I love the style of this headboard. Very unique. Now I gotta find matching nightstands. 🙄" —Xenia
Get it from Amazon for $95.41+ (available in sizes Twin–King and in 11 colors/styles).
13. A low storage table with a cubby where you can display your favorite coffee table books. Because let's be real, you're using the top as a dining room table, work desk, and craft station, so there's really not any room for "decorative accents."
Get it from Amazon for $112.87 (available in three finishes).
14. A minimalist-meets-industrial bookshelf where you can display your succulents, tchotchkes, and all of the books you've bought but never cracked open. One day you'll get to them!!
Promising review: "I love this shelf! I needed something tall to fill empty space and store books and plants. Each shelf is very heavy duty, so I can't imagine any bowing would occur in the future, unless it's got too much humidity. Before we put weight on the shelves, it had gaps between itself the wall, but it balanced itself out after adding books. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shelf. It's definitely going to last longer than anything you could but at Ikea and it has VERY little wasted/unusable space. Just do it! I put it together myself, but I had to hold it steady/leveled while hubby secured it to the wall. It's not impossible to do alone, but get a second person to at least hold it still for you." —Mrs K3NNYB0Y
Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in three sizes and 23 colors/finishes).
15. A barely there end table with *just* enough room for your Trenta iced guava tea with two pumps of classic syrup. It really is the perfect size because once you're finished, you won't have room to let cups pile up, you'll have to take care of them right away.
Promising review: "A lovely little addition to hold my morning coffee! It is sturdy and looks great and serves the purpose without taking up much room and the fact that the top is glass, it does not take up visible space either." —Rita R. Volpe
Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in two heights and 13 finishes).
16. A set of upholstered dining chairs that are a whole lot more comfortable than folding chairs and camping chairs (though the built-in cupholder will be missed).
Promising review: "We love these chairs so much!!! 1). COMFORTABLE: I have back pain and need comfy seating (hard to find without adding cushions). These chairs allow me to sit up straight, while still being super comfy! 2). EASY TO PUT TOGETHER: took me less than 15 minutes to put together two chairs. Make sure you put the legs on with the red arrow stamp on the bottom pointing at the front edge of the chair underneath. 3). COLOR ACCURATE TO PIC: Often times, you purchase something and the color is nothing like the pic, sadly. This exactly as pictured. The subtle gold/yellow adds the perfect pop of color to our dinning room table with out being loud. LOVE these so much, we bought another two within minutes of trying these out after we put them together! HA!" —Juju Rafii
Get a set of two from Amazon for $199.95+ (available in seven colors).
17. A plush faux-leather ottoman with an angular metal base that can support not just your $5.99 Dominos dinner deal, but a person or two if you need extra seating.
Promising review: "I was a little bit cautious when I found an ottoman for $90, but I was absolutely blown away when I received this! It feels very sturdy. I was able to assemble it myself within about five minutes with the provided Allen wrench. The faux-leather top looks and feels very nice; like something you’d find in a furniture store for triple the price. I bought this so that my husband and I could use it as a footrest when we sit on the couch together, and both of our legs fit on it perfectly. I’m extremely happy with my purchase." —Savannah Berry
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in four colors).
18. A combined floor lamp and end table if you're 1. Trying to save space or 2. Just absolutely enamored (like any sensible adult) with multitasking pieces.
Promising review: "I was looking for a lamp of this style and happened to come across this one. It had no reviews so I was suspicious, but for the price I took the chance. Best gamble ever! This lamp is so beautiful and the quality is amazing. The marble base is like real, sturdy marble. Gold finishing looks so expensive. Table is not flimsy at all. I absolutely love it and can’t believe I was able to find this for such a deal." —Sarah Diaz
Get it from Amazon for $78.02+ (available in four lampshade colors).
19. A reclined lounge chair you can sink into as you load up your DVR'd episodes of Home Town, House Hunters, and Love It or List It.
Promising review: "It was better than I expected! I thought the faux leather would look a little cheaper but everyone who came over asked if I got it at West Elm! It’s not the most comfortable chair just because it’s low but it’s a perfect accent chair." —Anna d
Get it from Amazon for $140.94+ (available in five styles).
20. A floating desk that takes up ~zero~ floor space because it mounts to the wall instead! Now that's what I'm talking about. Plus, it has room for books, office supplies, or lil' storage organizers where you can shove this, that, and the next thing.
Promising reviews: "I used this floating desk as a makeup vanity and it looks very nice, was easy to set up, and holds a lot of makeup!" —Yvette
"Excellent product! Shelves under the desk are very deep and can hold many items. I can’t speak to ease of assembly as someone did it for me but I’m very pleased with it and how space-saving it is in my small apartment." —AS
Get it from Amazon for $82.99+ (available in two finishes).
21. A sleek two-door cabinet — with a gorg herringbone design — reviewers use for everything from shoe storage and mudroom organization, to entertainment stands and toddler dressers.
There is some assembly involved, and while reviewers say the instructions could be a bit clearer, a mix of the photos and intuition makes it totally doable. You've got this!
Promising review: "I’ve been looking for a storage cabinet to place in my office. I’m in love with this one! It’s perfect. I wanted adequate storage space on the inside and something with a nice top to display some items. I was worried the front of this was laminate, but it’s not. 😀 It’s textured wood and looks really nice. It’s very sturdy, too. Every time someone new steps in my office they have commented on this piece of furniture. If you have been contemplating ordering this…do it. You won’t be sorry!" —Sarah Barr
Get it from Amazon for $209.88.
22. A square faux-marble number that not only takes up very little space but comes in welllll under $100 so you can afford to decorate the rest of your living room, too!
23. A pair of bamboo nesting tables you can separate whenever you need extra room for your takeout spread and then slide back together when you want a lil' more space.
24. And a mid-century/farmhouse/industrial-style end table with modified hairpin legs and a wire basket shelf where — if you're a millennial going on 60 like me — you can stow away the NYT crossword books you like to do in front of the TV.
Promising review: "This side table is stylish in my southwestern style home, sturdy, and practical in terms of allowing us to place drinks on it when on the sofa. I love its unique shape and materials, and it allows me to look through it so it doesn’t block my fancy tree stump lamp. It’s in a small space but because of its open design, it seems like it doesn’t take up much room. It took about 10 minutes to assemble — you need a screwdriver (I recommend an electric one) and pliers to hold the two nuts in place when you screw in the longer screws on the bottom of the table. It’s nice and sturdy." —ETG
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in nine colors).
