Promising review: "Table is beautiful. Assembly and instructions were easy to follow, but easier with two people working together...took 20 mins to put together. This product is amazingly strong compared to similar products at a higher price. I would definitely recommend this table to others looking for similar products. Five stars all around!" —joe

Includes: rubber cap, screw bits, claw hammer, multi-bit screwdriver, tape measure, needle-nose pliers, and adjustable spanner.

Price: $39.99+ (available in nine colors/materials and a style with a wrist rest) 

Promising review: "It keeps the odors in and the compost out of sight. It uses (and comes with) bags to make it an even cleaner option. It can sit on the counter or be hung with the included accessories. It's sturdy, large enough but not too big. I love it!" —Catherine

Promising review: "The quality of these nightstands is so great, the material used is thick, and the drawer slides are soft. The instructions to build them were easy, and there were pre-drilled holes which helped." —Madison

Price: $21.99+ (available in two sizes) 

Promising review: "I love these weighted bookends. They're very modern and very sleek. They have a good weight to them and look elegant. I don't regret buying these." —sammy

It also comes with shaker lids, four different types of labels (pre-printed round labels and blank labels), a marker pen, and a collapsible silicone funnel to help with refills.

Promising review: "Bottles are great quality. The pour covers and lids fit perfectly. They are attractive and fit nicely on my tiered shelf, making them easily visible. The labels are awesome and worked well. They are perfect. I'm very happy! Wouldn't hesitate to buy more!!!" —tracie

Promising review: Wow..unreal quality for the price!! This is such a nice addition to my dining room. It looks great as a movable serving cart for a dinner party or a bar cart. Goes great with my way more expensive dining furniture. Perfect black color! Plus, the wheels seem safe moving around my real wood flooring. I would absolutely buy again!! —Melissa

Price: $139 (available in three colors) 

Promising review: "Obsessed. If you're on the fence, just get it. We are a family of six, and it's a perfect size even without the extender — but that's certainly a plus!" —Alyssa

Price: $298 (available in three colors/finishes) 

Promising review: “Great addition to my living room! I recently purchased these ottomans, and I couldn't be happier with them! They are not only stylish but also highly functional. The fabric is soft yet durable, and the color complements my living room perfectly. The size is just right — large enough for seating, a footrest, and blanket storage, but compact enough not to overwhelm the space. There was no assembly, and the ottomans feel sturdy when used. I've used them for a variety of purposes, including extra seating for guests and storage, and they've held up well. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for versatile and stylish furniture!” —uniquethatsme

Price: $49.94 (originally $58.97; available in four colors)

Promising review: "These mixing bowls are very attractive and quite heavy. I was hesitant when learning that they are made of glass, but they are very substantial. The lids fit well. They stack nicely in the cupboard. My daughter loves them." —Vickiann

Promising review: "This was a real surprise find. The setup is easy. The choice of light quality was great, and the variable intensity was a plus. I found that one of the light choices was effectively daylight and seemed to wash away some of the winter-day blues. The design seems well thought out for versatility." —david

Price: $18.99 (originally $26.67; available in black and white) 

Promising review: "Exactly as expected. The light emitted by this alarm clock has a soft glow, and the sounds are so very natural — transforms my whole sleep space. It also serves me well as a natural night-light. Very peaceful. 😌" —Marilyn

Price: $59.99+ (originally $75.99+; available in two colors)

Promising review: "Nice and sharp and easy to handle. Love the floral designs." —Moby

Promising review: "Super cute and functional! Makes my desk look so much better!" —Marti

Promising review: "Best spoon rest ever made! Has a wide enough opening to accommodate several utensils at once. Washes like a dream. The nonslip feature is great and works. Highly recommend." —Dee

Promising review: "It is small but exactly what I needed for small pickups in the laundry room or around the house." —Sara

Promising review: "I bought this for my teen daughter's room. She was able to assemble it herself and loves using it." —Daniel

Promising review: "This lamp is amazing! You get the benefits of a candle without actually burning it. The LED bulb is hot enough to melt the wax. It is perfect for my mom that is unable to have burning flame candles where she lives. I'm going back to buy more for Christmas presents." —Carla

Price: $17.88 (available in three colors)

Promising review: "The cork material underneath is very nice and sturdy. I keep two hairbrushes, two different things of toothpaste, two toothbrushes, my lip balm, my eye drops, my hair tie, and my daily nose rings. I can prop my cell phone up, and there's still plenty of space!!" —Stephanie

Promising review: "It was exactly what I was looking for. I needed a side table where I could put my drink and snacks when watching TV. The height was perfect that the table i went slightly over my arm rest of my sofa. It's not a huge table just perfect enough to fit a drink, dinner plate, books and remote control . The base of the table slid under my sofa so it doesn't get in the way when people walked near it." —Dane

Price: $28.99 (originally $53.99; available in three colors and also in packs of two)
