The price on this is so low I’m speechless.

This small-scaled coffee table has a friendly price tag; it has the interesting angled leg feature which would look good with or without books/magazines.

“A dark wood coffee table can sometimes seem heavy and overbearing, but this honey-toned acacia wood table retains a sense of airiness due to the open and angular design that rests lightly on the floor with just two contact points. The interior of the coffee table provides ample storage for oversize magazines and art books.”

Holy smokes, this chair is on sale for $300 from the original price of $750…a steal!

This changing table and shelf both bring further confirmation that the modern baby room has more than enough options for stylish furniture. I’d say the shelf isn’t limited to a kid’s room either…

Also available in all white.

Murphy Beds are great for multi-purpose rooms and space saving. But they’re a little expensive and can be pretty ugly. Over at Moddi Murphy Beds you can buy instructions for how to make your own with parts totaling less than $275. The best part about it is that since it’s DIY, you can select your own outer finish or wood type.

Beanbags normally have negative associations, but these are too good of a price to rule out just because you had one when you were a kid.

Not such a bad price for an indoor/outdoor chair- I especially like the block-like angles.

“Inspired by the aesthetic of comics from the 1940s, Philippe Starck’s Toy Armchair (1999) strikes a balance between work and play, sophistication and childlike fantasy. Molded of a single piece of polypropylene, the Armchair is suitable indoors or out, for dining and lounge areas. Stackable up to 14 high for convenient storage, the Toy Armchair has a drainage hole to avoid seat puddles in rainy weather. Made in Italy.”

The Elemento Bed’s headboard slopes slightly back for reading, and also comes with a removable slipcover for easy cleaning.

I really like how the design of the legs are an extension of the bed itself and not just slapped on there.

We’ve posted the Waveform Shelf before, but Danielle over at Apartment Therapy came up with the idea of mounting it lower and using it as a little laptop desk. For those of us with small quarters, it’s a brilliant idea. What’s more, the fact that it has no legs means it will take up no floor space, which we all know makes a space look larger.

This bench is something worth taking a look at. The low profile and interesting silhouette amount to an altogether unique outdoor seating solution.

“Each bench is made from furniture grade kiln dried Western Red Cedar. All fixtures are stainless steel and are tucked away on the back and inside. The main joints are all put together using dado cuts. While this makes the manufacturing more complex, it greatly increases its strength…The bench is shipped in a flat box through UPS right to your door. It arrives in five pieces, along with easy to follow assembly instructions, tools and hardware. About ten minutes are all it takes to put it together.”

70″l x 24.5″h x 29″w, seat height: 10″

Update: This item looks like it is no longer available through the designer, though you might want to email to check. (11/19/09)
