Promising review: "I love my new console. It is a great combination of rustic and modern and looks great in my apartment. I assembled it myself and soon realized I’d accidentally interchanged two of the pieces. In my opinion, this is easy to do even if you are being very careful. The numbering is very subtle on the wooden backdrop for many of the items. I recommend doing this with at least one other person, because the asymmetrical geometry of the piece make it difficult to align when screwing and hammering. Luckily for me, a few friends were overtaken by a newfound industriousness after a bottle of wine, and they helped me to reassemble it correctly. I truly love the piece and any difficulty with assembly is by far worth it!" —Julia K.

Promising review: "I love this little cabinet so much! It looks great, seems to be well-made, and has held up to the door being slid open multiple times a day by small children (which is also why we’ve installed a cabinet lock on left sliding door to keep the littlest of our kids out!). It looks expensive, feels sturdy, and is a perfect size. I couldn’t be happier with this product! I get compliments all the time. It’s definitely a good buy!" —BA

Promising review: "This is exactly what I needed! I had plants all over the place and these shelves are perfect to display them all in one place. Much easier to care for! The warm walnut is a perfect color; my dining table is an almost exact match. It was very easy to put together, very intuitive, and the instructions weren’t really needed. I had both of them put together and on the wall within 35 minutes! My dining room is very small and the depth of the shelves allow for plenty of clearance to walk around the room. I love them so much!!!" —Christina Johnson

Promising review: "I'm so happy I found this company! I love that it is woman-owned and seeks to create usable and attractive furniture with a clear vision of sustainability. I appreciate that each piece is built as it's ordered, and that there is care in how it's packaged and shipped (no plastic packing material). As I write this, I'm sitting in my new velvet chair, which is sturdy, super comfortable and very pleasing to the eye. Assembly is straight forward (although a bit time consuming if one does it on one's own, as I did), but is doable and detailed clearly in the instructions. Grateful for my new chair!" —Monique

Promising review: "These were surprisingly comfortable! Sturdy, and great as accent chairs.

Promising review: “This bed is beautiful! Nice clean look and solid design. I was really afraid to buy something like this online, but I am very happy that I did. I had two concerns that made me leery: 1) the color and look of the wood. I ordered the pine, and when it arrived I was super happy with it. Beautiful color and looks to be of real wood and has nice wood grain. 2) I was concerned it wouldn't be sturdy enough. One reviewer said the slats were very thin and weak. I found that not to be true. I have a VERY heavy king mattress. My husband, myself, and our two kids sleep on the bed. The foundation is solid and can hold this weight! I also love how the slats hold on with the Velcro. They stay in place and give a good support for the mattress. I'm very happy with my purchase!” —JFASS

Get it from Amazon for $101.84+ (available in sizes twin–king and in four finishes).

Promising review: "Absolutely in love with this headboard. It is EXACTLY as it looks in the photos, super high quality and has all the swanky vibes. Just like the other reviews say, it is super heavy but also super easy to put together (did it by myself). My bed frame is a tall one so that is going to make the end tables a lil' lower…but for me that's just fine. Overall the quality of this is beautiful and the style is very unique." —Crissa

Get it from Article for $699+ (available in queen and king sizes, and in two colors).

Promising reviews: “Love everything about this table. It has tons of storage and the removable trays are great for working (or eating) on!” —Wesley F

"We live in a small apartment and this is a perfect size for our living room. The inside compartment areas are the perfect size for remotes, putting a living mouse and keyboard setup, a smaller board game box, and a huge variety of other things you want out but not always showing. No regrets getting this table and I would recommend it to friends!" —Skye N

Get it from Burrow for $419 (originally $499; available in two wood finishes and two leg styles).
