It’s not your traditional office desk, but it has just the right amount of depth for a laptop and keyboard without spilling over into the rest of your small living space. And the best part is, if you’re tired of sitting all day and need a good stretch, this table is tall enough to be a standing desk. Just keep in mind that, with a 40-inch height (the tallest of our picks), you will likely need a stool or a tall standing desk chair to sit comforta

This level has a durable outer molding that holds up to drops, and it has an IP 54 rating (so it’s safe to use around dust and debris, but not as protected against rain as our best outdoor pick). That makes it a good pick for indoor projects where there’s a lot of sawdust or other particles in the

As someone who's only worked remotely and has lived in one-bedroom apartments, I know the struggle of optimizing a small space. I also know how it feels for your home office to share the same space as your living room or bedroom. It's all about finding the right-sized furniture, and in particular, a desk that's Small Apartment interior design game guide|https://smallspacenest.com/-space frien

The levels we recommend all met or exceeded manufacturer claims during our testing. For example, our best rechargeable pick showed less than 1/9-inch deviation up to 85 feet (the manufacturer promises accuracy within 1/9-inch at 33 feet, and we didn’t see much deviation at all when measuring at that distan

I’ve tackled projects with a physical level, a laser that doesn’t self-level, and self-leveling lasers, and the cross-line design makes jobs so much easier. It has a great range too, but it’s most accurate under 33 feet, and we notice the visibility dropping to about 12 feet in bright sunli

Our tester dropped this level three times during testing, and we rechecked the accuracy after each drop to make sure it was still working. It actually measures more accurately than the stated 1/9-inch tolerance, and there wasn’t any reduction in accuracy after the dr

Marisa lives with her husband and young toddler and wears slippers all day, whether she's working from home, cooking, or playing with her daughter. These slippers stayed on her feet securely despite the open back, which is essential when carrying and chasing little o

Case in point: our best multipurpose pick, the Mr. Ironstone Bar Table , has a slightly industrial vibe that will suit modern spaces well, while the IKEA 28" Micke Desk (our best overall) is more neutral in its design and could be dressed up or down, depending on your preferen

If you’re looking for a kit that you can start using for your DIY projects right out of the box, in all sorts of applications, this is the best option. It projects a cross pattern at all times (no option for just a line like our best budget ), but the lines are perfectly le

Now, the cord doesn’t auto-pull as you vacuum farther away, so be sure to pull out how much cord you need for your cleaning session from the start. (It does automatically rewind later on, thankfully.) There are several settings you can make use of and five attachments come in the box: a crevice tool, upholstery tool, parquet twister floor head, handheld mini turbo brush, and electro plus floor h

The Black+Decker BDL220S is ideal for basic projects like hanging picture frames and mirrors, and slightly more advanced endeavors like angled picture installations over a staircase. It’s our favorite rotary laser level because it’s easy to operate, works fast, and the laser stretches from wall to wall when working on indoor proje

Shark counteracts the vacuum's bulky design with a lift-away pod, too. The pod is just the handle and dustbin detached from the rest of the vacuum, and it makes stair cleaning easier. We also love that the cord is 30 feet long, so you can clean entire rooms and hallways without needing to switch outl

Diana Rogers , DPM of North Florida Foot and Ankle Specialists, suggests using an antibacterial spray once a week to prevent bacteria buildup, which can lead to odor. If you plan to wear slippers outdoors, consider adding a protective spray to help them last lon

We researched slippers from reputable brands while still looking for options that accommodated all budgets and needs. We then ordered nearly 80 pairs of slippers and distributed them to testers with varied sizes and style preferences—I tested about 20 of those pairs mys

These slippers feel snug initially and need a few days of wear to break in, as is the case with all plush-lined Uggs. They are also difficult to slip on at first, and you’ll have to use your hands to put them on securely. But once the fur flattens and molds to your foot, they'll fit perfectly. (In my experience, this also allows you to wear thick socks with these slippers without the fit being totally compromis

We think the best desk for small spaces is the IKEA Micke Desk , a classic piece with a small footprint and versatile design. We love the pared-down 28-inch Micke design, as well as the IKEA Micke Desk (41.3 inches) , which offers a bit more surface space and stor
