Now, I think there’s a chance that this footrest stiffness is due to the newness of the piece (I’ve been using it for about two months at time of writing), but only time will tell. Even if it doesn’t correct itself, it’s not a huge issue. I’d categorize it as a bit of a quirk as opposed to a full-fledged f

Our overall best sectional sofa after years of testing is Lovesac’s Sactional. With its endless customization options and the ability to grow, shrink, or change shape as your needs change, it's a piece you’ll invest in and find durable for years to come. However, for a budget-friendly pick best under $1,000 , we like the Ikea Ekholma Corner Sofa, which has straightforward comfort and durabil

To really get a feel for the top two picks, we had them delivered and set up in our own homes, and used them regularly for weeks. We sat, slept, snacked, and snuggled on them, paying keen attention to attributes l

Lastly, check whether the modular sofa you're buying calls for at-Home Color Matching Money Guide|Https://Homecolorcraft.Com/ assembly. Putting it together yourself might be a quick process without any tools needed—many are as easy as screwing on the l

I’m Jenica Currie, a senior editor for The Spruce who covers gardening and outdoor products, and more. I have spent a lot of time establishing garden areas around my home, and have used bricks, stones, plastic edging, and whatever I can find. For this article, I tested the Amazon Basics Landscape Edging Coil to help create a border around a rose bush and focal point outside my side porch. I also analyzed our testing insights for the 11 products we tested in our own ya

This is similar to our best faux-stone pick, also by Beuta, but the bricks are only 2.25 inches high (compared to the stone’s 6.5-inch height). It can work anywhere you want a shorter border, but keep in mind that it doesn’t look as dramatic. However, we think it looks just as real, and we put both options in our landscape in different areas (we used this edging around a tr

Also, this unit isn't the easiest to move around, nor is it ideal for very small rooms or personal use (because of its tall form and base). There is a handle built into the back, and the fan weighs less than 12 pounds. However, its height makes it a little awkward to carry, but it is not impossi

The Lola Blanket is a rising popular design, and I've recently come to understand why. While this blanket may look similar in texture to the Cozy Earth Double Bubble Cuddle Blanket , its textured surface is actually created by bands of elastic. This elasticated design not only gives the blanket its distinct texture, but I've found that it makes it excellent for shar

If you’re in a hurry for your sectional, though, this may not be the best option. It took four months to receive it due to a logistical error, but typically, you can expect delivery within six to eight weeks with free white-glove serv

Laura installed this edging during the hot summer months, after a period of heavy rain. This is the first time she’s used edging, and her goal was to contain mulch and control weeds, with a clean look. It took a few hours to install along the side of her fence and large yard, but she loved how intuitive it

Thanks to the control panel, remote, and easy-to-use app, I can customize all of the settings and change them whenever I need to. However, you can't change the heater settings via the app, for safety reasons. I do like tracking the air quality in the room, which you can see daily, weekly, or monthly through the app, or see the current status on the unit its

Not only do you need to be prepared with your desired sofa configuration mapped out before you begin opening tons of boxes, but you also have to assemble the whole thing yourself. Ultimately, the comfort, versatility, and durability of the Lovesac Sactional were well worth the initial eff

I’m Dena Ogden , an associate editor who’s been testing products, writing, and editing for The Spruce since 2022. As someone who works from home in the Pacific Northwest, I have very strong opinions about comfort and coziness, so testing a reclining loveseat was a labor of l

Putting the footrest down, however, takes a touch more energy. We do sometimes opt to get up first and then re-set the recliner, instead of using our legs. In other words, you probably don’t want to skip leg day if you order this piece (or maybe there’s a way to replace leg day by pushing down on the footrest? Maybe consult a trainer firs

Ease of Assembly: After researching retailers, brands, and different sofa configurations, we sent a mix of different modular sofas home with our team and put them through their paces with pets, households of all different sizes, and in rooms of all ty

Please trust me on this: don’t just skim the measurements and go with it if they sound about right. Double or triple check the loveseat’s precise measurements and compare it to your space and to any furniture that it’s going to be replac
