Promising review: "I work at home once a week and needed a workspace but didn't want to commit an area of my house to a full office. Plus, most desks look cluttered and ugly. This little desk is perfect for my space! I have it in my living room and it opens so I can look out into my backyard through the French doors. But I can close it and tuck it away when I need more space. When open, it is the best little workspace! It is sturdy and has plenty of room for my legs underneath and my laptop on top but it also has folders and shelves to hold my key files and supplies. It blends right into the picture collage on my wall. I would highly recommend this desk." —Ariella

Pro tip: DIY the bar cart of your dreams with some peel 'n' stick marble wallpaper. Placing a layer onto each shelf will instantly give this budget-friendly piece an even more $$$ look.
Promising review: "Perfect little bar cart. Fits wine bottles and shaker and accessories on top, long stemmed wine glasses in the middle and has a third shelf for miscellaneous items such as alcohol bottles and ice bucket! Love this cart! The gold color is perfect!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I live in a small, 700-square-foot apartment so I needed something that would not be bulky in the living room. I love, love, love this. Looks way more expensive than it is in person AND it was very very easy to put together alone. I would definitely consider buying this in other colors for other rooms." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Such a cute little coffee table and just what I was looking for! The quality is awesome for the price. Perfect size for my little living space. Super easy to assemble and is the perfect height for my sofa. I’m going to use the little table as an outdoor patio furniture side table this summer." —Stephanie P.

Promising review: "We moved into a home with no real dining space so this is the perfect little table for our small dining area. The off-white color is beautiful, it’s very sturdy and easy to put together, and the price can’t be beaten. It’s a great size for a small family with the leaves down and would work for a small group to have dinner if you extend it. I would highly recommend!!" —Nick Randall

Promising review: "This is great for getting organized! My necklaces no longer are piled together or hanging on several different jewelry holders. This has saved me so much space from the holders and multiple jewelry boxes. It really just looks like a mirror stand instead of a jewelry box. I also love that it locks." —K. Patrick

Promising review: "Beautiful piece constructed with quality materials. The instructions were clear and the materials packaged well. It was easy to put the table together, which I did by myself in about three hours. The quality surpassed my expectations." —Diane Brady

Promising review: "I cannot say enough good things about this product! I was looking for a bigger clothing rack as I have a lot of clothes and no closet space. This one is longer and bigger than all of the other ones I looked at. It was super easy to put together. I had never assembled anything by myself before but all I needed was a screwdriver to put this together by myself. I have had this rack now for about six months and it is holding up so well! I have a ton of clothes on it — including lots of heavy sweaters — and it is super sturdy!" —LRV27

Promising review: "I needed a small bar set in a very small area. I use this for extra eating space and for my son to use when he is doing his homework. It makes a very good makeshift work station. He likes it and so do I. This was fairly easy to put together. The top is a faux marble and looks very nice. The stools are surprisingly comfortable and sit completely under the bar, creating even more space." —Melissa

Promising review: "I didn’t use these as shelves. I used them as cat stairs for my son's cat to go up to his loft bed. They have been working perfectly for that. We have a big heavy cat and they are holding up to everyday use." —KJG

Promising review: "I purchased this type of table specifically to use with my laptop and to double as a sort of fancy TV tray. The size listed was perfect for a small space, like my bedroom without having the bulkiness of a desk. Table came after about two weeks and packed flat. It was easy to assemble and took about 10 minutes to put together since it has fairly large, basic pieces. Once assembled, the table is really light and can easily be carried room to room. I actually found the wooden top to be a lot nicer in person, it has a nice depth of color that makes it modern and doesn’t make it look cheap. Minimalist design so you can put this in plenty of spaces for a wide range of uses. I like it too as a small side table for a sofa or could easily double as a night stand for narrow spaces. I think it’s a great value for how much you can use it." —K.

Promising review: "I was shopping around for a couple of months trying to find auxiliary seating and storage for my stylish, but tiny space. There are many similar options on the market for sculptural, multi-purpose pieces. At this price, I figured I'd take a chance, and I'm glad I did. These are lightweight AND sturdy. This definitely looks more expensive than it is. The hidden storage may be lovely, but I'm not really 'storing' anything in there, except some linens and a bag of marbles to add weight. They make great side tables, foot rests, and impromptu stools." —M Roy Clark

Promising review: "I’ve been looking for a vanity desk for eight months! The ones that I could find was cheesy and not as classy as this one. The width of the top is large enough that it double as a desk even though it’s sold as a console table. The 'faux marble' is beautiful and the real glass sides makes this table look so chic! I'm so happy I never give reviews but decided to do so to let you know this is a good purchase!" —Marianna Bracco

Promising review: "I wasn't even planning on getting a kitchen table because I didn't want to lose anymore square footage. The way my apartment is set up, a table will be in the way no matter where it sits. But when I ran across this little gem, I changed my mind. When they say space-saving, they really mean it. I especially love that the stools tuck under the table! The stools are NOT bar stools, so they are short, but that's to line up with the table. I also use them as TV trays sometimes, so I REALLY love this table! So many uses. If you're looking for an arts and crafts table or need to save space like me, do yourself a favor and pick this thing up!" —JD

Promising review: "It’s a great fit in my small house! It’s lightweight and I was able to put it together by myself with the tool that was supplied. Fits lots of shoes and coats. I don’t have it mounted to the wall since we aren’t allowed to put holes in them, and it still holds up well!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is a dream come true. It's the most functional desk ever. I don't have any storage space in my bathroom so this gave me a place to put all of my bottles. I love the pop-up mirror and it works as an awesome desk, too." —Brooklyn Babe

Promising review: "For $200, this is a 5-star product. It was really easy to put together. It's a little firmer than what I usually like, but it's not uncomfortable. I even took a nap on it the other day. It was even a little bigger than I thought it would be. My family of three has plenty of room when we all sit on it." —Lindy M.

Promising review: "Everyone else has said it, but I'll say it again. If you are looking for a QUALITY nightstand that not only looks super stylish but is easy as pie to assemble... this is the nightstand for you. One of the best purchases I've ever made on Amazon, not one negative thing to say. BUY THEM!" —Lauren

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
