So in order to save you copious amounts of scrolling and money, we’ve taken the time to curate the best design finds the retailer has to offer, from foolproof light fixtures to attractive shelving options. Some of our picks were suggested by AD staffers and others come highly recommended from happy reviewers.

Scroll down to find our picks for the best Amazon has to offer, broken up by price points, so you can shop easily, whatever your budget may be.

Though this acrylic end table is available in both black and clear options, we like that the orange makes it a statement piece.

If you’re fighting for floor space, this floating nightstand is a smart (and cost effective!) solution to use as a bedside fixture or a handy wall-mounted shelf anywhere else.

Anyone who’s all about organization will want this handsome curved magazine rack to store all their favorite listicles and coffee-table books.

Nearly 6,000 reviewers have given this multipurpose table a positive review. Use it outdoors as an end table or indoors as living room furniture, and choose from any one of the 21 shapes and shades to complete the look.

A pair of sleek metal stools will help dress up your breakfast bar or serve as extra seating for guests. The best part? This design comes in 16 different colors for you to choose from.

We may not be able to convince you this platform bed frame is worth a look, but hopefully over 40,000 five-star reviews might sway your opinion.

A classic Componibli is an ideal choice for bedside storage. The hidden compartments make it especially easy to tuck away any messy wires or your stash of nighttime skin care products.

Technically, these chairs fall under the outdoor furniture category, but, if your dining room also doubles as your living room (or triples as your kitchen), a set of nice-looking stackable chairs like these Novogratz stunners will be good to have around your dining table.

One of our favorite office chairs, the OC3B perfectly straddles the line between comfort and price point, according to our reviewer Terri Williams. She loved the multiple adjustment points and breathable mesh material.

For all the midcentury modern lovers out there, here’s a sturdy dining chair that’s understatedly stylish.

This modern bookcase comes in five acrylic color variations to seamlessly blend in with your existing decor. Slanted shelves perfectly accommodate even the heaviest hardcovers, and the flat top can be used to display anything from decorative vases to more books.

We think this best-selling hanging lamp that has over 600 five-star reviews is an especially bright idea if you’re updating your light fixtures.

And this playful coffee table from Convenience Concepts is just the thing to liven up the living room.

There’s nothing more trusty than a coffee table with built-in storage. This one from Harmati even does double duty as a makeshift desk.

You may think you don’t have room for a computer desk, but a slim design like this one from Nathan James is just right for small spaces (and would work just as well as a vanity with a nice mirror).

Another small-desk option for furnishing even the tiniest of studio apartments.

Anyone working from home who’s looking for a home office upgrade will be interested in this very chic glass-top desk with durable bamboo legs.

A proper place to stand up your big-screen TV is a must. We like the slanted legs on this wood TV stand design, which will make your Netflix movie marathons all the more binge-worthy.

Dining room furniture pieces that are both comfortable and good-looking? Amazon’s got that—get two-for-one with these handsome walnut dining chairs that are available in three different wood and upholstery combinations.

Another great mid-century piece, this coffee table features timeless looks and will fit into just about any living room, family room, or den.

Bunk beds are a smart idea if you’re decorating a guest room with kids in mind. This modern metal design comes in at under $200 and has an upper guardrail for added safety.

Don’t overlook the opportunity to get a stellar mattress on Amazon, including the Casper Element. It’s got a nice blend of firmness and body-cradling memory foam, plus it keeps hot sleepers cool thanks to a breezy layer of AirScape perforated foam. Our tester raved about the mattress, from the ordering process to actually getting a good night’s sleep. She said, “From the moment I first laid eyes on the Casper Element pro online, up until the four-day delivery, the barely-20-minute setup, and finally the blissful, endless nights since my mattress’s arrival, my experience with Casper has been faultless.”

A U-Shaped sectional has all of the best seating in one package. It’s a chaise, a place to snooze, and a perch for reading or movie marathons. It comes in four colors and five modular options to choose from. Plus, more than 800 happy customers on Amazon have given it a five-star rating.

A couple of midcentury chairs with breathable rattan seats will add a touch of the outdoors to your dining set.

The perfect mirror selfie starts with the perfect mirror. Go big with this arched reflector that comes in lots of full-length options.

If you’ve got your eye on this lovely robin’s-egg blue sofa, we suggest checking out the matching chair to complete the set.

A piece of furniture like an office chair you’ll own forever is a smart investment, so why not splurge? Our digital design editor Zoë Sessums knows the Aeron desk chair is worth its price tag. “Once the chair was delivered—no assembly required—I understood the power of the patented PostureFit SL back support, which allows for chest open, shoulders back, and pelvis tilted slightly forward,” she said of her experience with it. “This chair will save your body.” If that’s not worth shelling out for, what is?

Anyone searching for a classic sofa couch silhouette can find what they’re looking for in this Rivet Stone model available in leather, velvet, or durable fabric upholstery.

This pretty much goes for any product on Amazon, but the best Amazon furniture is also incredibly convenient to buy. While a lot of reputable brands sell furniture with a 4-6 week turnaround, most Amazon furniture is available in a matter of days.

Another reason Amazon is great for buying furniture is, frankly, because it’s cheap. If you want to test out a new style in your home but aren’t ready to commit to shell out a few thousand dollars, there’s almost always an alternative on Amazon that will only cost you a couple hundred bucks (at most). We love hunting for a deal, especially if we aren’t sure if that mid-century bouclé swivel chair actually looks good in our living room or if we’d be better off sticking with our current setup.

They have a huge selection

Maybe you don’t need to know how bouclé feels in your home, but you might want a Scandi-inspired dining set, a faux leather futon or a wabi sabi coffee table that looks perfectly broken in. Amazon has it. Need an office chair, a sideboard, and a footstool? Amazon has it. Seriously, any style, any design, any piece of furniture, you’ll find an option on Amazon. Who knows, you might even end up wanting to keep it forever.

Amazon users love to review

You might not be huge on reading reviews, but if there’s anywhere to peruse user-generated reviews, it’s Amazon. Prime members are notorious and prolific when it comes to reviewing products, so you’ll almost always have a plethora of paragraphs to read through. Sort the reviews to read the stellar five-star opinions or check out the one-star reviews to see what went wrong.

Brands should feel real (and be real)

This seems obvious, but in a lot of ways, the world of Amazon is still the Wild West. Much like how anyone can buy things on Amazon, anyone can sell things on Amazon. There are a ton of quality items to choose from on the site, but there are also a lot of duds that you want to avoid at all costs. When you’re shopping for furniture on Amazon, if it seems too good to be true, it might actually be too good to be true. Use your gut and google details about the brand before you pull the trigger. Some of the popular brands we trust are Novogratz and Christopher Knight, plus Amazon-owned brands like Rivet and Stone + Beam

With brand trustworthiness in mind, you should only trust products with reviews from actual users (unless you’re absolutely sure the brand is real and products are being sold by Amazon and not a third party). One good thing about Prime members is that they love to review what they buy, so while you may encounter what feel like fake or AI-generated reviews, you can also trust that many of the reviews are authentic and genuine. Use your gut.

Keep an eye on pricing

Black Acrylic Box Amazon prices can be hard to beat, especially when you factor in free shipping, but before you impulse buy, try to do a bit of research or take a few days to see if the price fluctuates. A Serta mattress, for example, may always be the same base price, but some of the budget furniture brands raise and lower their prices indiscriminately. Sometimes they put something on “sale” but you’ll notice that the MSRP went up, making it the same price as it was last week even though it’s marked down in the current moment.
