In our experience, the Eco-Green Lawn & Landscape Border Edging is a great wooden option for beginners. We found it so simple to install—unlike other options, the stakes are attached, so there’s no guessing or measuring where to place them. We love the natural beauty it brings to our flower beds, while creating a clean, easy-to-maintain bor

Each of Frontgate’s blankets is designed to look like a specific type of fur, including arctic hare, caribou, lynx, chinchilla, and silver fox. All are made with the same softness and inviting feel, and they look quite real when draped over the back of your couch or an accent chair’s arm. We tried out the coyote hue (which is no longer available) , and we were surprised at just how real it looked–both up close and from a dista

Deborah Young , textile expert, explains that jersey sheets offer a "cozy comfort you can curl up in." Their soft and warm feel comes from the Homecolorcraft blog their knitted construction, which differs from the typical weave of other she

Just keep in mind, though, that this blanket is both oversized compared to a traditional throw and weighted. At 9.5 pounds, I find this blanket can be tricky to lift, fold, and move around. And, since the super-soft fur is a bit slick, it can slip and slide some while you’re tidying up or curling up on the co

Heather Adams , a senior shopping editor specializing in furniture and home decor at The Spruce since 2022, is well-versed in modular and sectional sofas. She's owned multiple sectionals, including options from Crate & Barrel and IKEA, throughout her time living in apartments and houses, and she loves the versatility of the modular models offe

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

Performance : During many of our space heater tests, we used an infrared thermometer (IR thermometer) to measure the base temperature of the room. We then turned the heater on high and measured the temperature at 4 and 8 feet from the heater after 15 and 30 minutes. We also measured the base humidity with a hygrometer and again after 15 and 30 minutes. During our fan tests, we studied the air speed of each fan, noting how many speeds each fan offered, how to control them, and how well each performed. We measured with an anemometer and compared them to the manufacturer's cla

Modular sofas can be sectionals, but not all sectional sofas are modular. Modular sofas can be rearranged into different configurations and often expanded with other pieces from the collection. A non-modular sectional is a type of couch that can't be adjus

Value : We noted what we liked and didn’t like about each product, and if the price was reflective of its quality and features. We’ll continue using the landscape edging in our gardens and report back on how well they’ve held up over time and changing conditi

I have a blue and white patterned blanket, which doesn't look like real fur. However, when we tested a brown option, it looked much more realistic than the bold colors and patterns available from Lola. The unique ripple pattern may not be the most authentic, but the rich true-to-life color choices do lend a realistic to

If cloud-like is your ideal level of comfort, consider the Quince Jersey Sheet Set. This set is extremely soft to the touch, and we think they capture that classic well-worn jersey t-shirt softness perfectly, even after multiple was

The Mainstay 1500W Ceramic Space Heater is a great portable fan and heater for under $25. We found it perfect for keeping warm (or cool) in our office, and love that it is compact and easy to move aro

The Company Store’s Classic Jersey Sheet Set defies the poor durability reputation of jersey sheets. With high-quality stitching and a heavyweight feel, this is the most durable jersey sheet set we’ve tes

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

Polyester is also the material that makes so many of the best faux fur blankets machine-washable. If you get a serious stain like coffee or red wine on your blanket, I've found that immediately rinsing the stain and washing the blanket is b

To trigger the recline mechanism and sit on it like you’re supposed to ( ahem ), there’s a small latch just underneath the side armrests, on the outsides of the recliner. It takes very little effort to release the recliner, but once the footrest slides out, I usually have to shift my weight to encourage it to extend the last few inc
