Promising review: "The shelves are exactly as pictured. They are perfect for displaying vinyl. They were easy to hang. They are able to hold larger records. Red (Taylor’s Version) is four vinyls and it is no problem for the shelf. They have held for about two months without any issue so far." —Ty

Promising review: "I simply love this lap blanket! I bought two. One is on our recliner as a lap blanket and the other is in the middle of the bed as a decorative blanket accent. I have a king size bed, but after I put the comforters and decorative pillows on, I lay one of these in the center. It breaks it up. I will probably purchase more as gifts! The price is perfect for a quality made lap blanket. This is incredibly soft and so pretty. It gives a light, airy feeling." —Dee

Promising review: "After months of research, we finally decided to get the Frame for our newly renovated kitchen and this did not disappoint!

On top of that, I can easily upload family photos. This is well worth the money." —Lindsey

Get the 55-inch version from Amazon for $1,497.99 (available in seven sizes).

Promising review: "Because I purchase a lot from Amazon, I don't often write reviews unless I am exceptionally happy with the product, and this one qualifies! My order came meticulously well packed and protected. All hardware was included with an additional packet of extra hardware, just in case. Directions are well written and easy to understand. All parts were labeled with stickers or printed on the bags. All the pieces are finished with no raw edges showing anywhere, even on the back. There is great attention to detail, including felt pads for the bottom and stick-ons to hide a few exposed screw heads on the legs. The materials appear very solid and high quality. The hardware and assembly design ensures a strong and solid build. The assembly process itself went very smoothly. The first cabinet took my husband and I about an hour and a quarter to assemble. The second cabinet took about 45 minutes. I highly recommend this product." —Liz

It is ABSOLUTELY finer than the photos show. I can't wait to take a luxurious bath and have a glass of wine and a candle with music. Aaaahhhhh! THANK YOU! True artisans. Worth the little wait." –Hilary

Get it from Redhead Woods on Etsy for $110.94+ (available in 12 sizes).

Promising review: "I had my doubts but I thought, what the heck, for the price I'd give them a try. I am in real estate and known as a lighting snob. The first thing I look at in a kitchen is if there is under cabinet lighting. These are so nice (it helps if you have a lip at the bottom of your cabinets). They are a true white, very bright, and I was lucky they were just the length I needed. I just ordered a set and had them shipped to my mom's as her halogen transformer which is buried in a wall, fried and I drives me nuts that the workspace on the counter is dark. I can't wait until I make the 250-mile drive to install them. I may buy more just to use at our listings!" —pauly

Get a 10' strand with 60 lights from Amazon for $19.80 (available in warm or white light; you can also get an outlet version).

Get 10 sq. ft from Amazon for $73.79.

Promising review: "The deep wells on this rug make big chunky ridges that feel great under your bare feet. The construction and color are perfectly stunning. I put in in my lake house where people and pets are coming in and out from the mud, the lake, and the pool, and I love that it disguises dirt and isn’t too delicate for spills." —SID

Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in seven sizes and 12 styles).

Promising review: "The rug looks just like the pictures. Pretty and a little boho. There was a bit of 'shedding' here and there but not much. I would recommend a rug pad as it does slip around on hard floors. The size is perfect for in front of my kitchen sink as it's longer than a standard mat." —JM

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "Excellent quality, beautiful style, nicely made, and I get so many compliments. I love these chairs! 💕💕💕" —Elaine Quinones

And if you're looking for a great duvet to fill this cover, here's a hypoallergenic option that reviewers love!

Promising review: "I have been looking for a terracotta jersey knit duvet cover forever and took a chance with this one. The color is great, a dark terra-cotta/rust color. It’s soft, but if I had to be nit-picky it isn’t as soft as other jersey knit fabrics I have felt. Shipping was surprisingly fast and the size was perfect for my queen bed. Overall I am happy with my purchase." —Sarah

Get it from Amazon for $43.01+ (available in three sizes and 30 colors).

Promising review: "I’ve assembled dozens of beds, dressers, and nightstands from Ikea and Amazon. Out of every piece of furniture I’ve assembled this was the highest quality and easiest. The added tool they give you is a really nice touch. The hook and loops on the slats keeps them very secure. The hardware and the wood goes together so easily. The wood also smells really nice. For the price, looks, and ease of assembly, this is a really nice value." —Eric

Get A King-size from Amazon for $172 (available in six sizes and five colors).

Promising review: "This is the second privacy screen I've purchased from Amazon. I have an area in my garden visible from the street. The screen hides all my gardening stuff (i.e. wheelbarrow, buckets, etc.). It truly looks like the real deal!!!" —soooz

Get a 94-inch x 39-inch roll from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "I never could get my old toaster clean, and it was getting sad. I do not like sad toast. This charmer is lovely to look at, and does a great job making toast that is just the right shade of lovely brown. A chart comes with the toaster. I find I needed to set it a little higher to get the toasty goodness I desired. Goes beautifully with my vintage glass dishes. I feel so retro I may need to invest in a frilly apron." —Margaret C.

Get it from Amazon for $40.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "I love it! I bought this to replace a smaller rug I had in the space. This has nice, vivid colors. I definitely needed the felt pad I ordered under it due to how thin it is, but so did my last rug. This is a lovely rug at a nice price, and I did some serious looking around before making this purchase." —Angelle

Get a 6'x9' version from Amazon for $118.89 (available in 12 designs and numerous sizes/shapes).

Promising review: "Love! I’ve been using decals to brighten up boring spaces for a while. So far these are my favorite. They're super easy to put together. They stick to the wall super well and they look great! I ended up buying five packages to cover the entire wall and had about two sheets left over. I love my new bedroom!" —Brynn Delgado

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

Promising review: "I LOVE this canopy! It's great for the price. It takes a minute to figure out which way it goes on the bed but don’t get discouraged, you’ll figure it out. This is meant to hang from the ceiling but you can make it work on posts. I tied the hook strings around the bed post and it holds great. It’s a great canopy." —Shonteka

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in six styles).

Promising review: "This wall hanging came exactly as pictured. It's absolutely beautiful. You can tell that a lot of care went into making the product. Thank you!" —Brittany

Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "All I can say is woooow! This mirror is not only affordable, but the quality is amazing. It’s heavy and not cheap-looking. The gold color is not so tacky, and it’s done just right. My main concern was receiving a broken mirror but the packaging was great and arrived in one piece. Don’t hesitate buying this gem, you need it!" —Celeste C

Get it from Amazon for $94.71+ (available in multiple shapes and sizes).

Promising review: "This is a great side table! It fits perfectly with my chairs and the style gets many compliments. Extremely stable. Top is not perfectly flat, but flat enough to sit items on." —KingKarl

BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah!

Promising review: "I’m pretty sure I’ve never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband’s pile of technology, the money was well spent!" —AmazonEmme

Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors).

Promising review: "These are absolutely beautiful! If I ever move, I'm taking them with me. You may think they're a little pricey, but they're REALLY heavy and far nicer than the stuff you find at the local hardware store. I bought the switch plate, outlet plates, and even a blank plate to cover an old electrical box left behind by DirecTV." —Karebow

Get it from Amazon for $15.01+ (available in seven finishes).

Promising review: "My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The furs keep your backside insulated and then topped with the blanket they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It’s honestly pretty sweet and the dog gets her own to lie on when she’s outside too." —Amazon Customer

The shower head has a very smooth, highly polished, mirror-like chrome finish. It gives a satisfying showering experience without wasting too much water. Absolutely no leaks whatsoever. Everybody in our family said they liked it. What else is there to say about a shower head?" —Sadda Reddy

Get it from Amazon for $21.49+ (available in five sizes and four finishes).

Get it from our Goodful shop for $56 (available in two shapes).

Promising review: "To say it's a 'nice' table is seriously an understatement. This table is freakin GORGEOUS. I put this bad boy together in under an hour. I ordered the black metal chairs off of Amazon and bam! Bring on the holidays, Hunny! I took pictures in different light settings and in every angle the color is absolutely beautiful! Each side very well fits four of those chairs (pictured above, left, in case you wanted to add two more chairs for a total of 10). The table comes with two extenders that are super easy to add or remove. Great quality table for the price." —lh7

Get it from Amazon for $514.03+ (available in five styles).

Promising review: " I had no entryway. Nowhere to stick my coat and shoes while I’m on my way in or out of my home, but all of that is a thing of the past! You never know how much value a small thing like this adds to your life until you solve a little household issue. It’s sturdy, beautiful, and very minimal." —Amanda
