Another folded paper lamp, yawn... but wait, it's not paper, it's ceramic! Which means it'll break if you drop it, so don't. The patterned surface will lend just enough texture to a room and you'll get the nice, even glow you'd expect from a ceramic shade. And, the size is just right for a small breakfast nook, or maybe even beside the bed suspended above the nightstand. Made in the...Read more

Hmm, what's the price of this very affordable fire pit? $300?! Compared to the Loll Fire Ring or, my personal favorite, the Geometric Firepit, that's a sight for a sore wallet. It has somewhat petite dimensions, but the space below keeps extra logs handy and dry- two important bonus points when it's chilly out and you want to stay close to the nice, warm fire. Made of 1/8” steel, TRAE...Read more

Quick, what is it? Hint: it's very similar to another item from Ideaco with 'Tubelor' in its name, except this one is rectangular. Answer below. It's a trash can! You probably guessed that, but it's a better trash can than most in that it has a base trash can and an exterior cover that hides all the mess of the bag and contents. Winner of the red dot Design Award...Read more

Well, $199 for a minimal steel chair isn't so bad, especially when you consider the price of a visual equivalent like the Emeco 20-06 Stacking Chair. Now, this one isn't made from recycled aluminum, and it doesn't stack, and sure, that's a little disappointing, but you will have $376 left in your pocket, which means you can buy a second chair and some friends groceries. Sits indoors or out. overall:...Read more

For rootcup has a PLANTER now, made from the same BPA free, phthalate free, food safe, durable polymer, and it has a no mess drain and reservoir that lets your plant...Read more

Let me tell you a little story. One of these showed up last week for me to review, and, as I'm not especially excited by radios, it sat in its box for approximately a day until my husband noticed it. Then, being an audiophile, he promptly started opening the box like a kid on Christmas morning, and asked me while doing so if I got to keep it. Nope, I...Read more

They're usually expensive, and you get whacked over the head with various interior suspension info that you probably don't care too much about, even though it's important, especially as you'll be sitting on it for every day for the rest of your life. We'll not revisit any bullet points about frames, springs, or foam, we'll just look at this small sectional sofa from Blu Dot and...Read more

Hmm, who makes this grill? My first thought was it was something from a Teletubbies set, then I quickly adjusted myself into appreciation for its bulbous form. It's from IKEA, if the diaeresis didn't tip you off. You can assemble this grill at two heights- standing or as a table grill- and the body is made of porcelain-enamelled steel with two vents to regulate air flow. They're not selling this...Read more

Contrary to what one would expect, a set of stacking trays that doesn't offend the eyes is slightly hard to find nowadays. That explains why you're seeing this set of 3 trays by Conran. They're rather large and have pleasing neutral colors that would most likely work with your color scheme. So, whether you use them for mail and keys near the front door or in the closet for jewelry...Read more
