Turn-N-Tube 3-Tier Corner Multipurpose Shelving Unit

$12$50Save $38

Save 75% on this space-saving shelf for displaying collectables, plants or books. It'll fit into that tight corner of your bathroom, closet, pantry or anywhere you need storage, allowing you to utilize otherwise wasted space.

$12 at Amazon

Says a pleasantly surprised reviewer, "This bookshelf was extremely easy to put together. It took me about 10 minutes. And it happened to match my decor perfectly. Even though it is really inexpensive it doesn’t have that cheap look to it. Each shelf can accommodate about 10 pounds. I needed something to put my cookbooks on and this was perfect! It did come with an attachment to secure to the wall which I will do so that it doesn’t tilt over. Overall, I would recommend it."

Amazon

Luder Bookcase 4-Tier Cube

$37$100Save $63

Another great deal at more than 60% off, this bookcase fits in tight spaces allowing you 41 inches of vertical storage for books, knickknacks and toys. Brighten up your office or the playroom with this No. 1 bestseller.

$37 at Amazon

Says a thrilled mom, "We purchased this to hold books in our daughters’ bedroom and so far we are not disappointed. I was worried it wouldn’t hold all of their books (they have a lot) or wouldn’t be able to support all of them but to my surprise they all fit and it has proved to be very durable. Assembly took maybe 20 minutes and it is very lightweight so great for moving it around. It does fit nicely in small areas and is not too tall which is important to me for a kids bedroom so that nothing is out of their own reach. Will definitely purchase a couple more for storage of small toys or possibly to act as a closet organizer in their room."

Amazon

Jenny Lind Metal Bed Frame, Twin

$152$233Save $81

I love this charming spool bed for a guest room — it's great for the grandkids! It's a classic that will never go out of style. The metal frame has a low profile, allowing you to tuck it into small spaces, like beneath dormers.

$152 at Amazon

Says a thrilled reviewer, "This is SO cute. I bought it for my office as a spare bed for my mom to sleep in when she travels to my house, but when my daughter is old enough it will be hers. It’s adorable, very sturdy, so far doesn’t make a lot of noise, and it looks great just about anywhere. It also doesn’t take up a ton of space which I love. It does require some sort of platform; instead of a box spring I went with one of those Bunkie things and it worked out well. Glad I chose this one!!"

Amazon
