Promising review: "This burner is perfect. Elegant and warm. It has a soothing, smooth design and provides a pleasant aesthetic. It was packaged very well with custom-cut closed-cell foam, which indicates care from the vendor. Good value, wonderful design, large enough to place sticks or cones but small enough for tiny spaces.

Promising review: "This is worth every penny! Probably my favorite Amazon purchase of all time. I love snuggling my dogs, but the recliner and couch are too small for all of us. This bed accommodates me, two huskies, a lab, and a cat in a big cuddle puddle (review image above). It’s so comfortable for watching TV or naps. It folds up into a little couch to take up less space when not in full bed mode. One of our dogs just had ACL surgery, and I’ve been sleeping in this with him at night to monitor him while recovering. We are both comfy and cozy. Love love love!" —Amy

Several reviewers recommend getting a fine tip craft glueto complete this kit. It also glows! Just be sure to grab two AA batteries(not included) once you've finished.
Promising review: "This book nook took me two days to make, and I am so in love with the final result. The instructions are very clear. Some pieces broke, so be sure to be patient while cutting them out. I glued the broken ones back together with no problem. This works with a motion sensor, but you can access the battery pack from the back, which is really convenient! The most tedious part of this is making the books, but after that, it goes pretty fast! The lights are amazing, and they tell you where to place them in the instructions. This was my first book nook I’ve ever built! I will definitely be buying more in the future!" —Phoenix
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+(available in four styles).
Promising review: "My apartment gets very little sunlight, but every single night I look forward to when the sun sets so I can watch the light dance around the room. This simple little mirrored ball has brought me so much joy. Definitely recommend! Yes, there are areas where the mirror pieces are applied a little haphazardly but it’s mostly at the bottom and quite frankly I don’t care considering how affordable this thing is." —Holly

FYI — one of the product photos says the striker is on the lid, but according to reviewers, it's on the bottom. There's also a teeny bit of storage inside. Anyway, I strongly recommend getting these pink matches to go with it.

See it on TikTok! It comes with four bulbs, so you can plug it in and enjoy its cozy glow right away.
Promising review: "Yes, it’s plastic. And yes, it’s a reproduction, but it looks so much better in person, especially when it’s turned on. It gives off the perfect soft lighting. Mid-century modern look without the hefty price tag. It is expensive for plastic, but if you wanted to purchase a similar style lamp from that period, it would be much more $$$, and it comes with bulbs. The on/off switch is on the cord, so I plugged mine into a plug with a battery-operated remote, so I wouldn’t have to get behind my table to turn it on every time. Happy with purchase." —jacqueline l. gibson

Urban Outfitters
Promising review: "This was exactly as I expected and more. Shipping was quick, assembly a breeze and I put it together myself. The cushions are softer than they appear and are secured in place with Velcro. Keep in mind that this is a low-profile sofa. My love seat next to it looks a bit off because it’s much higher." —Gisselle
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $1,299(available in three styles).
BuzzFeed Editor Chelsea Stuarthas this to say about the lights: "I just got these for my bedroom, and they're simply gorgeous. I am a renter, so I needed an option that didn't require any electrical work and beyond that, I HATE cords, so I wanted to avoid those as well. IMO, the best part about these is that they have rechargeable lightbulbs — so no outlets necessary! I also love the remote control, which allows you to set them to a cool or warm tone, dim them, and set a timer if you want them to turn off after a certain amount of time. I consider myself pretty handy, so installing these was no big deal, but I will say, even if you're not Bob the Builder, I think it's pretty simple! All you need is a screwdriver, drill (if you want to use the wall anchors), and 20 minutes. All of the necessary hardware comes included!"

Promising review: "Love this lamp so much! So easy to put together and love that they give gels to create your own little mix-and-match of color. The lights are pretty bendy and don’t get too hot even after hours of use (you can still touch and bend them without getting burned). VERY bright light but creates a great wash for ambient reflective lighting." —Max Ferg

Promising review: "I’m so glad I found this play mat. I have been genuinely surprised at how comfy and cushioned it is. It has protected my baby’s head many times when she rolls over too quickly. It’s extremely easy to spot clean and doesn’t stain at all! I haven’t washed it in the machine yet, but I plan to let it air dry when I do, and I feel that would work best with it. The fabric is really soft, and the design is pretty! This is a great solution for anyone with hard floors and a curious baby who wants to crawl around. 10/10!" —Ashley

I bought two of the version above for our living room because I love these so much (and because I have, ahem, too many books). I use this specifically for board books. My daughter has been able to get books out of this (without it toppling over on her) since she was old enough to crawl! I firmly believe that having books out and easy for her to access has made her the avid reader she is. I love, love, love this sling shelf system.
Promising review: "This is perfect for a nursery! I needed something that would display my daughter’s books while being easily accessible but also space-saving. This was just that. It’s great quality, very easy to put together, and looks perfect in the small space I needed it for! I’d recommend to anyone!" —Abby M.

Some elements are even made from plant-based plastic, so yeah, the designers really went above and beyond. Check out these beauties in a TikTok from @shaelorend.
Promising review: "I wasn’t expecting this to take as long as it did; I see why people do this with someone else. But it was even more fun to do this by myself and watch my shows. The instructions are in picture form and detail which pack is which. Some of the pieces can be similar, and you have a couple of pieces left behind, but I think they’re a weird form of 'extras.' But if you’re not super messy or plan on moving these around too much, you won’t have to worry about the pieces but keep them safe. I love how these will never die, and I look forward to another set of forever flowers to build! :)." —Bri J.

Promising review: "These are so much fun! We ordered the small size, which fits standard hardback books (approximately 5–7 hardbacks in my experience). They're a great way to add some extra storage to our very small home, and we've placed them in our hallway so people ask us about them all the time. I'd highly recommend!" —LaBuenaVidaMere

Promising review: "I’ve never loved something from Amazon as much as I love this light fixture. We call it our disco hallway! It gives off great light, and as you can see in the photo (pictured above, right), it’s like a rainbow prism on the walls and ceiling, but beneath it is regular lighting, so it can be used in all types of rooms. Seriously, get it! If the pendant style would have worked in my dining room I would have gotten it for there as well. I’m obsessed." —Jesi

Felt Right
This splurge-worthy art has quickly become one of my all-time favorite pieces of decor. I live in a loft that's right in the middle of a music school...so it gets loud. And not necessarily good. Ever heard an hour-long violin lesson from a beginner? It's rough. Having these sound dampeners on the wall has made such a difference! Each display is gorgeous (their color palettes are literally award-winning), and they complement so many different interior design styles (I have the Quilting Star, and if my apartment was cleaner right now, I'd show you). Owner and creator Talley Goodson has made the products from this small, Utah-based business a must-have home good.
