3. A rustic, farmhouse-inspired bench for a sleek and luxurious addition to your entryway (shoutout to your putting-on-shoes spot) OR as dining room seating for a country house aesthetic. Either way, you can't go wrong with this understated statement piece.
Promising review: "Purchased in August 2019 as a dining bench and use it daily. I have lots of windows so the dark rustic look works great. Well made. No chips or dings. Instructions are simple. Pieces fit together perfectly. It was hard to find a bench that seats three adults comfortably to eat. Liked it so much I purchased another this October for my mud room." —My2Sense
Get it from Amazon for $170.
4. A drop-dead gorge velour ottoman, because game nights and dinner parties are great, but not if you don't have enough seating for your pals. This can supplement your larger furniture and act as an additional chair option that triples up as a footrest, storage solution, *and* side table (hello, removable, flippable lid!).
Promising review: "I love this ottoman/foot stool. It is so worth its price and more. The color is gorgeous. It is nice and soft. Has the ability to hold things in the storage and looks amazing. This is a must-buy. If you are wondering if you should buy this item, buy it buy it. If I need more footstools I will definitely buy this one again. Love it." —Jennifer Fry

5. A tall and slim rattan bookshelf that's just dreamy if you're looking to transport your space to one that looks like it belongs by the beach.

6. A multifunctional lift-top coffee table designed to solve storage problems, WFH issues, and even interior design qualms. I think a decor piece that looks *this* good and has the ability to instantly upgrade your at-home life deserves to be in your cart, like, now.
Promising review: "Great coffee table for the price. Assembly was relatively easy and the only part that requires a second person is the very end when attaching the top of the table to the base. When doing this, I highly recommend using a drill to screw these screws in to save time and effort. The rest of the table can be assembled with screwdrivers. The raising feature is also more useful than I thought. It’s great if you want to eat a meal on the couch or if you are working from home and want your laptop raised up to a better height. Even when raised, the surface is quite sturdy. If you are searching for a great-looking coffee table for an awesome price, this is the table for you." —Evan

I love it, my friends love it, all around best mirror!" —Elle

The minimal design won't look bulky or overpowering *and* now you have a spot to stash your collection of vintage magazines you refused to part with in the move to your new cute, but small studio.

Promising review: "The item arrived on time, and parts were clearly labeled and easily fit together. Assembly was a breeze and it functions exactly as expected.

Promising review: "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.

Not to mention, this has soft-close doors, a marble shelf, and...*gah* gold fixtures!

Get it from Anthropologie for $2,498 (available in four colors — with some colors backordered until later this summer).
18. An over-the-loo storage cabinet that makes *great* use of the dead space behind your throne (just peep the super tidy reviewer below). And because it fits *so* well, it might just look like it was built specifically for your abode.
Psst! This nifty reviewer on the left actually replaced the cabinet knobs with something a little fancier. If you wanna do the same, might we suggest something like these diamond-shaped beauties?
Promising review: "This is the most attractive space-saver for the bathroom. It went together well and has a good amount of storage. I love the doors, and the fact that there is an open shelf also. It is sturdy and serves the purpose. It really helped the big blank wall too! I shopped these for quite a while, this was the best sized, best looking, and sturdiest I found. Well worth the price." —K. Norman

Outer is an AAPI-owned business that believes in durable, comfy, and sustainable outdoor furniture.
Promising review: "Outer sofa and chair are beautiful and comfortable. Our deck space is limited and we don’t have any place to store the cushions, so we really appreciate the covers. My only wish is that the covers were a tiny bit larger, and covered the cushions better. Otherwise, the furniture is perfect!" —Outer Customer
Get it from Outer for $2,700 (available in three cushion colors).
20. A coat rack and storage shelf to bring style, convenience, and order to a usually chaotic entryway — otherwise known as an extension of the wardrobe space you were promised but never given.
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
Get it from Amazon for $75.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
21. A two-level glass marble coffee table that's reflective qualities and light color scheme will make your living room feel *so* much bigger. Not to mention, that second surface will make the perfect open display case for your collection of bragworthy books.

Promising review: "I LOVE this space saving bookshelf! In a lot of the photos I’ve seen, people have been mostly using it to display decorative items, but I wanted to take a chance and actually use it as a bookshelf. I think it works well!! Using the anchors in the wall are really handy. I hooked mine to the corner rod and that worked really well." —Wayfair Customer
Get it from Wayfair for $88.99.
24. An elegant shoe storage ottoman you can discreetly keep flats, sandals, sneakers, game controllers... literally whatever you need inside to free up space if you live in a city-based apartment (looking at you, New Yorkers). This stylish piece functions as a seating area as well as a solution to tidy up your entire room.
Promising review: "This is beautiful, unexpectedly! It looks much more expensive, and the storage space inside is ample. Living in a smaller-sized apartment, I find 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 $86.91+ (available in five colors).
25. A cute farmhouse-inspired kitchen cart that doubles up on storage and counter space — ideal as an extra chopping station the next time you and your roomie are fighting over who gets to prep dinner where.
This features a bamboo wood top, spice rack, towel rack, one spacious drawer, *and* some enclosed cabinet space.
Promising review: "It was super easy to put together by myself, and it is very sturdy. I love the butcher block top, and it is the perfect addition to my studio apartment kitchen. I decided not to attach the caster wheels and it is still a very workable height." —Debbi
Get it from Wayfair for $239.99 (available in two colors).
26. A mid-century-esque accent chair that will tastefully add a pop of color to any living space. The comfy and elegant velvet details complement a more mature interior design choice — and some reviewers are using it as a stylish way to add some pizzazz to their workspace.
Promising review: "I got the pink chair. It is exactly like the site images. It is so comfortable and looks expensive! I was looking into buying a similar chair from a retail store that is three times more expensive but this one is such a great value and high quality." —M. Zacarias
Get it from Amazon for $135.99+ (available in 31 colors).
27. An ingenious wall-mounted floating desk complete with a chalkboard(!!) for a functional WFH spot even in the smallest of apartments. Plus, come quitting time, you can easily fold it away Murphy-bed style!
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
Get it from Wayfair for $169.99 (available in two colors).
