I find that it's very handy year-round, including unpredictable late-fall weather and chilly winters, and during the summer, too. I often switch between the fan and heater modes and occasionally just use it as an air purifier (which helps with summer colds). I found the third and fourth fan settings kept our room cool during milder temperatures and provided great white noise at ni
My favorites are from top-rated brands like Dreo, Lasko, BlueAir, and more, and have all of the safety features you’d expect in a space heater, plus other helpful things like remotes, smart capabilities, and thermostats. But best of all, you won’t need to haul in and store another appliance every time the weather chan
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
You'll also want to consider the material. For the frame, solid wood is ideal (seen on several of our picks, including our best value option, the Honbay Modular Sectional ), though engineered wood (seen on our best pet-friendly modular sofa, the Joybird Logan Modular Sofa ) can be just as sturdy if it's kiln-dried to prevent cracking and warp
This is similar to our best faux-stone pick, also by Beuta, but the bricks are only 2.25 inches high (compared to the stone’s 6.5-inch height). It can work anywhere you want a shorter border, but keep in mind that it doesn’t look as dramatic. However, we think it looks just as real, and we put both options in our landscape in different areas (we used this edging around a tr
Both of our tested selections above have manual reclining, which means you flip a switch or pull a latch to engage the reclining mechanism. There are, however, powered options that use a built-in motor to push and pull the footrest and backrest into place, which you control by switch or but
It’s hard to overstate how satisfying this detail is, but I’ll try: If you’ve ever worn a dress with pockets, then you will know exactly how it feels to have a reclining loveseat with hidden cupholders. It’s the sort of feature that, as soon as someone steps into the room and acknowledges the existence of this recliner, I have to say, Look! It has cuphold
Just keep in mind that the cushions on the Medley Dekayess Corner Sectional will be firmer when they arrive. In our experience, that’s pretty typical of all of the sectionals on our list (and couches in gener
This ceramic space heater doesn't have a remote, thermostat, or any other extras, but it does well at the basics. One knob controls the three heater modes and a fan-only mode, and the other controls airflow (min to max). We could feel the heat from about 4 feet away, so we think it's best for personal use or small spa
All in all, this 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
We think this couch was definitely on the firmer side—not plush enough to sink into, but comfortable enough to lounge on for long periods. It's sturdy too, with a precision-milled Baltic birch wood frame that won’t warp, strengthened steel pins and latches, and fabric that we found very easy to clean, even after daily lounging and spills from k
Daniela tested both fux-stone options from Beuta and each worked great in her yard. Installation time on this option was quick. She’s installed real stone borders in the past, and this option was a breeze. She placed this edging around a weeping cherry tree with several bus
Can't decide which upholstery material is best for you? Consider a sectional from a retailer with a wide range of options. The Lovesac Sactional, our best overall pick, for Homecolorcraft.Com example, has hundreds of choices, all noted with special considerations like pet-friendly, family-friendly, and even machine-washable (or other key care detai
The choice comes entirely down to your personal preference, with a variety of designs, styles, and price points represented by both. My assumption when I started considering a reclining loveseat was that electric models would be more expensive—but that’s not necessarily the case, especially if you’re looking beyond name bra
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
