Back-to-school time usually means tons of cheap, bright modern designs from big box stores. Case in point, these lacquered wood stackable chairs from Target are just $70 for the pair.

The Wire Rack takes it’s queue from a simple household staple: the wire hanger. But what it lacks in complexity and creative product naming, it makes up for in style.

This You Stuff It Cargo Chair is a really cool idea that I think might quite literally be a pain in the butt. The simple wire frame is meant to be stuffed with whatever you need to get out of the way. A great idea, though it might be improved by adding an actually seat. I suspect that even those stuffed animals aren’t enough cushion and I dread to think of dropping my derriere onto the log version.

Turns out that for pets the lap of luxury isn’t a lap at all. It’s a pet sectional sofa as stylish as anything you’d find at West Elm. And don’t worry, the cushion covers are removable for easy washing.

I love the idea of a fold-out desk. I just don’t think it would accommodate the giant pile of papers that I call a filing system. I’ll be sticking with my giant desk. But, if you’re more organized than I and looking for a space-saving work space, this one is great because it’s just $199.

PB Teen does it again. I know this is a bean bag covered in fake fur ridiculously named the furalicious beanbag and that as an adult I should find it silly, but I actually think it’s very chic and kind of want one for myself. It would be perfect in a little reading nook. Oh, and don’t let the $70 price tag fool you into thinking it’s a steal. They charge another $129 for the insert. Ouch.

I was on Overstock.com looking for a kitchen scale when I accidentally started browsing furniture instead. That’s when I found this super cool acrylic coffee table with built in magazine racks for just $250. I do love the O.

The 50s-inspired Hatfield Grellow Rocker seems like the perfect way to add a subtle pop of color to a room. And since it’s from CB2, it’s only $200.

These chairs remind me of the brightly colored plastic crates we used to have in our closets as kids. Which makes sense as these solair chairs hail from the same era (the 70s). They have recently been reissued and even have their own facebook page.

PS - They’re only $130, which is way less than I was expecting.

I know West Elm’s new stuff is usually a slightly tweaked iteration of the same stuff they had before, but it never fails to catch my eye. I especially like the silhouette pillows.
