If your trusty clothes chair and stair piles aren’t working for you, there’s definitely a better way.

I am a contributor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for two years, with a focus on products that make parenting just a bit easier — and hopefully more fun — home decor, kitchen gadgets, and whatever deals I can scope out.

Promising review: "I am using this to hold potatoes, onions, etc. in my kitchen. Small footprint for the small space I had available. LOVE IT!!!" —Virginia

Promising review: "This is such a beautiful and functional piece of furniture. It was easier than I expected to assemble. We needed this so bad in our entryway, but once it was in, we loved it even more than anticipated. The hooks on the sides are an added bonus I didn't know we needed. Absolutely perfect." —Heather

Promising review: "We love this rack! It’s sturdy and very appealing to the eye. Complements my space!" —Cindy

Promising review: "With the blue tint and the appearance of texture on the sides, this box has good style. Better than the average bin. It even has a nicer feeling when you’re holding it." —Steve

FYI, the box does not come with a bench pad.

Promising review: "It's so convenient to have a multi-purpose toy chest. We just use the top as a bench or to organize miscellaneous toys that are out of place. And it just blends with the rest of the room, so when a guest comes in it is not obvious what it is." —Lisana

Price: $99.99+ (available in three colors)

Promising review: "Love the style and color! Fit perfectly in a small area but has significant storage!" —Patti

Promising review: "I love that this lid and pan organizer is heavy enough to keep things grounded. It can be used to organize so much more than just pans and lids, too. Easy assembly and adjustable. Made for a good Mother's Day gift! Definitely one of my favorite products at Ikea." —Collin

Promising review: "These containers are excellent for storing dry goods in our cabinets. The set looks good together, saves space, and we love that we can easily see just how much product is in each jar — makes it easier to know when a restock is needed. Also, products seem to stay fresh longer in these jars than they did in the original packaging from the store." —Laura

Promising review: "Easy to assemble and comfortable." —Sue

Promising review: "This system was simple but perfect for my small walk-in closet. A great improvement from the builder-grade wire shelving." —Kristina

Price: $190+ (available in four finishes)

Promising review: "It is much more sturdy and well-made than I thought it would be. The trays can stack on top of each other if you don't have space for them side by side. They look elegant to me!" —Barbara

Promising review: "I love everything about this Ikea storage piece. This shade of blue is one of my all-time favorites. The light colored top is a great topper, too. I also like to use the light-colored wood storage boxes with it to help with organization. We are using this in our dog room/den, and it holds so many things. From dog food to training pads to paper towels — it holds it all! I am very pleased with this piece. Highly recommended!" —Christi

Promising review: "I love these baskets. They have an elegant design and make my space more functional. I can easily access stored items. I would recommend it to family and friends." —Deborah

Promising review: "The new assembly process was a great time saver. No more nails!!!!!!" —Jeff

Promising review: "As a soccer fan, I find I end up with more scarves than space to store them all. This holds 18, and they are inexpensive enough to have one for Club, one for Country, and one for memorable events such as a World Cup final. Solid product and looks good in the closet." —Scott

Promising review: "Love this — easy to assemble and great for organizing my dresser drawers." —Tania

Price: $9.99+ for two (available in two sizes)

Promising review: "I bought two blue Billy bookcases and put them side by side in my living room. My house is small, but these fit perfectly. I love these bookcases. I get so many compliments on them when I have guests. I’m getting ready to buy another one for my hallway." —Kathy

Promising review: "I love these boxes. They are built to last. I bought two that perfectly stack on top of each other. I used one for my towels and the other for my assorted bathroom supplies. They are pretty big boxes." —Doreen

Price: $12.99+ (available in two sizes and two finishes)

Promising review: "Perfect for what I needed. Great shelf to utilize those deep, hard-to-reach corners, and it has a really great style. The height allows great versatility. Easy to assemble; extremely glad I purchased it." —Emily

Price: $100+ (available in three colors)

Promising review: "We needed something to hold a few bedtime books by our daughter's bed that she could easily access. This worked great, and now we don’t have that big pile on the floor from her digging through all the books on her bookshelf. We rotate them out, and she can see the covers easily." —Dominique

Price: $19.99 (available in four colors)

Promising review: "These cabinets have made my bedroom and living room look so nice! I have collectibles in two and my ceramic tea cups in another. I love them!" —Shanna

Promising review: "I was skeptical at first because I was worried this couch would not be comfortable. Couldn't be happier to be proven SO wrong! This couch is really comfortable, so beautiful, and completely customizable. We love that if we moved, we could add different pieces, use the chaise on its own, etc. We used the design tool to put together something that fits our space. There is a lot of storage. Couldn't ask for more!" —Julia

Price: $2,355+ (available in nine colors)

Promising review: "I have had this ottoman for about five years now. It is very sturdy and has held up very well. Large for an ottoman and great for storage. Can seat two people comfortably if needed. The cover has held up well, even with two cats scratching it. It's nice that the cover is replaceable. It mostly holds extra family room blankets and my dirty socks until laundry day. It's definitely on the hard side, so don't expect a plush surface. This was a bit expensive for an ottoman, but I highly recommend it if it will suit your needs. I will likely keep it as long as I have the space." —Alan

Promising review: "Beautiful piece that works well in the small space. The storage is perfect for storing small blankets or other items you want to tuck away." —Jamil

Price: $150+ (available in three colors)

Promising review: "We live in a city space, but entertain a lot and have a busy life that requires 'gear'. We installed a wall of Besta in a room, and it's one of the best decisions we've ever made. We chose a 3x4 layout, so we have 12 boxes — it basically added a storage closet that looks amazing. Even though the units are not super deep, they provide ample storage (don't discount the made-to-fit felt bins!) and keep a slim, sleek profile so as to not take up a large amount of room space. Units are easy to access and love being able to choose where the shelves should be installed for optimal space usage." —Randi
