“This stylish and functional piece of furniture combines a laundry basket, hamper, and storage unit all in one,” said Cheng. “It’s perfect for small spaces or anyone looking to streamline their laundry routine. With its compact size and practical design, it is sure to become your go-to laundry organizer.”

Cheng said that this medium faux wood table lamp is an amazing look-alike of the $398 Beachside Table Lamp from Serena & Lily.
“This lamp is a perfect blend of modern and rustic styles, making it an ideal addition to any room in your home,” said Cheng. “Its height and size make it perfect for use on desks or side tables where you need focused light. Additionally, the lamp’s beautiful color scheme allows it to seamlessly blend into your existing decor or add warmth and character to any space that needs it.”
Project 62 Textured Faux Fur Reversible Throw Blanket
Price: $24.99
Consumer analyst Julie Ramhold with DealNews, said this textured faux fur reversible throw is so soft and luxurious that it reminds her of the much more expensive UnHide blankets.
“Is it an exact dupe?” she said. “Not quite, but if you want a cozy throw at an affordable price, this is an excellent buy.”
Threshold Tall Brass Vase
Price: $15
Ramhold said that the Threshold Tall Brass Vase is a lightweight, minimalist piece that would be easy to work into your decorating scheme.
“However, it looks easily like something you’d spend twice that if not more from home furniture stores like Crate & Barrel or Pottery Barn,” she said.
Hearth & Hand With Magnolia Round 16″ Metal Decor Tray
Price: $34.99
Ramhold suggested using this metal decor tray to upgrade your decor or to serve refreshments to visitors.
“It’s $34.99 but looks like it could easily be far more expensive at places like Williams-Sonoma, and thanks to its color scheme, it looks good in practically any setting, whatever your tastes may be,” she said.
Hearth & Hand With Magnolia Tall Modern Rim Stoneware Pitcher in Matte Sour Cream
Price: $19.99
Ramhold said she loves the classy but homespun look of this tall stoneware pitcher and described it as a steal.
“It’s hand wash only, but it can handle both hot and cold beverages, and thanks to the neutral color, you can easily use it all year long for serving everything from orange juice to iced tea to your favorite cocktails to warm mulled wine,” she said.
