Nothing like a good summer decluttering.

Promising review: "Great in so many places, bedside tables (lengthwise) for a different, yet very useful orientation, behind the sofa grouped to create a modern visual masterpiece. Easy to assemble." —Mark

Price: $59.99 (available in two colors/finishes)

Promising review: "Sturdy, looks nice, and fits perfectly between my countertop and cupboard. Fills in that dingy corner between the fridge and stove that never had anything but bottles and spice jars that i used too much to justify storing. Now not only are they properly in/on a thing, but more accessible, using the vertical space to increase free counter space AND letting the goods cover that gap beside the fridge." —Nick

Promising review: "We moved into a much smaller home, and they're just right for gloves and hats on a shelf above coats. They hold my loose pasta boxes/bags, bagged snacks, onions, and potatoes, all while looking fabulous but simple. They are sturdy and well-made — very pleased with this product!" —Mary

Price: $14.99 (available in four colors) 

Promising review: "We bought this after moving into a house that is short on storage (one small coat closet). This wardrobe is perfect! It holds our everyday coats, PPE supplies, and winter hats/gloves/scarves, dog gear, and dog treats — all while looking nice and neat. We use matching bins on the open (non-hanging) side of the wardrobe, and everything is accessible, yet nothing looks cluttered or messy. This is one of the best purchases I've made. It did take a bit more time to assemble than I'm used to, but it wasn't a problem." —Jen

Promising review: "I’ve had this sofa for almost two years now and am so happy I bought it. It’s very comfortable, especially with the additional pillows you can use to raise the back. I think this sofa is best for entertaining — the short back and deep seats make it good for perching and having a conversation. One of my friends calls it the 'conversation couch.' I’ve also had lots of friends sleep on it, and even though it’s not a pull-out sofa, they all have said it’s very comfortable. I’ve also slept on it several times. Living in a small one-bedroom apartment, I also love the storage spaces in the couch, and this is the main reason why I bought the Ikea version rather than an alternative brand. When one of the brackets on the sections stopped closing correctly, Ikea provided a replacement section quickly and easily." —Rose

Get it from Ikea for $1,650+ (available in nine colors/styles).

Promising review: "This movable island was the perfect fit. The size and height are perfect. A plus is that we can easily move it from the kitchen to the dining area if we want to use it to serve food. The cart was easy to assemble. The only tedious part was fitting the ribs of the two shelves together." —Mikael

Promising review: "Love this little thing! It’s very sturdy and, for extra sturdiness, has holes on top to secure it to the door. Really adds a beautiful touch of mid-century modern type of design. (Installing it also helped me to discover a huge gap around my door, lol)." —Stephanie

Promising review: "Absolutely perfect for the wall right next to the shower, to hang a towel for when you get out. The hooks flip back up into place so you don't ding your shoulder or hip when there's nothing hanging on them. Just remember to provide your own screws, since they're not included. We've had lots of compliments on these from guests." —Mary 

Promising review: "A wooden box with drawers? Yes! A now prized possession! Great looking and handy! Indescribably cool! Helped me organize hobby paints and clear out other containers! Such a grand find! Would be superb in a garage or hobby room or a crafting desk!" —Michael 

Promising review: "I’m impressed with the quality at a great price. I will use this in my guest room to store blankets and pillows. It is very versatile and sturdy. The top lifts off rather than hinges, which I like. The natural finish is nice and perfect for my boho guest room." —Paul

Promising review: "I am always a little nervous when glass is involved, but this cabinet was packaged very well, and the instructions were fairly straightforward. I managed it myself (built it in the same room I wanted to place it), but it definitely would have been easier with two people. I'm very pleased with the wood grain and the warm color. Very happy." —Lana

Price: $370 (available in two colors/finishes)

Promising review: "This side table looks great. Very functional, and the additional section of storage on the lower shelf is very useful. Took about 15 minutes to put together, and it would have been less if I had remembered I had a screwdriver with the attachment to make quick work of securing the screws (instead of using the included tool) sooner in the process. Highly recommend! Very pleased with this purchase." —Gary

Price: $89.99 (available in two colors) 

Promising review: "I’m trying to get away from plastics, and these glass containers really help. They store and stack very nicely — better than round. The silicone lids fit tightly — no leaks. I had to buy two sets because they’re so handy." —Linda

Promising review: "It's nice to see the grain variations and colors present in a natural wood product. Brings a sophisticated touch to our laundry area, which is visible from the living area of the house." —Anonymous

Promising review: "I bought this shelf to install in the restroom in place of a cabinet. It looks nice and gives the room a bit more character." —Jacqueline

Price: $29+ (available in two sizes and two colors) 

Promising review: "Love these shelf baskets, they slide in very easily on my bookcase shelves, great for storing small items and great use of the space between the top of the shelf and the items underneath that might not all be tall, basically able to utilize a lot of dead space, would highly recommend." —Connie

Promising review: "Great! Sturdy, easy to put together, Water slides right off. I use this indoor for my indoor plants. Fits directly under my window seal. I got tired of having my plants/dirt/water ruin wooden stands. Perfect upgrade. Feels like it's built to last." —Shea

Price: $445+ (available in four colors/styles). 

Promising review: "I am using these in several of my drawers and just love them. They have made finding everything so much easier. It's so much more enjoyable when I open my drawers now!" —Elke

Promising review: "We love this for storing Legos, and the kids can assemble them on the top. Holds up well with lots of play." —Abigail

Price: $155.99 (available in three colors) 

Promising review: "I really like this bench and am actually planning to buy another one. It was easy to put together, stores a decent amount, and is comfortable for guests to sit on when visiting." —Deanna

Price: $199.99 (available in two colors)

Promising review: "Small yet it's enough to take everything off my desk's surface (because I have a walking baby who likes to get in everything). It also looks super neat. 10/10 will recommend to others!" —Linh 

Price: $34.99 (available in two colors) 

Promising review: "It was the perfect fit for our shower. We decided we didn’t want to drill holes in our travertine tile, so we got indoor/outdoor 3M tape. It worked perfectly!" —Anonymous reviewer

Promising review: "We had some extra space by the fridge, so we saw this and bought two. The way it is designed, you can stack two together to have five shelves. You will have an extra shelf and casters left over, but it gives you more options. There were no modifications needed to do this, as each shelf shares top and bottom posts in the same hole. This came out better than expected." —Alan

Price: $17.99 (available in two colors) 

Promising review: "Saved me money and time. As an engineer, I was really impressed with the packaging, installation, and quality. Cool beans." —Shawn

Price: $292+ (available in five colors) 

Promising review: "I love this unit! It's compact, so it saves space. The drawers fit a lot more than I thought they would, and they don't get stuck as my plastic bins would. They worked so well, we went back and bought the slimmer version too." —Samantha
