I'm Jenica Currie , a senior editor for The Spruce, who has been specializing in outdoor, home improvement, garden, and gift guide topics since 2020. I have tested hundreds of products, including humidifiers , air purifiers, hose nozzles , and vacu

You know those delightful reclining seats in movie theaters that have cupholders and armrests that you can lift, essentially making a loveseat for you and your partner? Those are available for homes now (I know, I’m excited, t

To help heat or cool a larger area of your home, you may want to look for a combination fan and heater that offers oscillation. This simply means that the unit will swing back and forth to push air across a wider area—it could be as little as 30 degrees or as wide as 360 degrees (found on our best overall runner-up pick, the BlueAir ComfortPure 3 in 1 Air Purifier), depending on the model you sel

Jennifer used this landscape edging to create a "centerpiece" in her yard. She was hoping it would help control weeds, especially poison ivy . The border was easy to place (and clean) around a small garden area with an arbor. Although it isn’t as sturdy as other options, she hasn’t had any damage from her dogs running through the a

This couch also has a kiln-dried engineered wood frame that promises to resist warping and cracking for many years under heavy use. It can be configured in multiple ways and expanded with additional pieces from the Logan line. If you can swing the steep price and don't mind waiting weeks to receive your made-to-order furniture, we recommend

All in all, read this blog post from Homecolorcraft reclining loveseat is a welcome addition in my home. I will say that it feels suitably sturdy and durable but it’s not quite as beastly as the old school recliners I think of my extended family members having when I was a kid. Do I think I will have it for years to come? Yes. Do I think I’ll hand it down to my young kids and see it used for generations to come? Eh, doubtful. But for the price, I’m totally okay with t

While different faux fur blankets might be designed to mimic real fur and animal pelts, there’s no actual fur used to create their fluffy fibers. Synthetic materials are the popular pick, and they’re what lend both the softness and that inviting plushness to a good blan

If you want to install a clean border without adding extra time to your landscaping routine, the Vigoro EcoBorder Brown Rubber Landscape Edging is the way to go. This rubber edging has a right angle, so you can mow along it smoothly, without having to go back with your string trimmer or lawn edger to tackle grass or weeds you didn’t get the first t

Safety Features : We turned the unit onto its lowest setting for heaters with a tip-over shutoff safety feature and nudged it with our foot to gently tip it over. After 30 seconds, we noted whether it turned off automatically. We also noted any certifications or additional features, such as overheating protection or a cool-to-the-touch exter

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

Aside from digging the trench, I just needed to add the stakes, which are made of thick plastic, and then clip them onto the border to keep it in place. I couldn’t find my rubber mallet, so I used a nearby brick to press them into the soil (I scuffed the stake in the process, so I recommend using a mallet instead). The soil was rocky, but it still wasn’t too hard to get the stakes

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

We sent five jersey-knit sheet sets to Spruce testers to sleep on, launder, and thoroughly evaluate in their homes for three months (and I was one of those testers!). We tested each sheet’s quality, texture, breathability, durability, and overall va

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

This 24-foot-long rubber edging isn’t complicated to install: We just needed to place each 4-foot piece on the ground, install the spikes, and connect it to another piece, which took us around 45 minutes in total. Each piece is very flexible, so curving it around isn’t an issue. We also think it would be easy to move and reinstall as nee

After setting up the sofa, we even moved around its components (particularly the seat turned into an ottoman), which was especially useful in a household with kids, as we could create forts, add space for daytime couch naps, and fit the whole family and guests with e
