The Bottom Line: “One year later, and this sofa looks as good as the day we unpacked it! There has been no noticeable fading, despite the fact that it sits in the sun for the majority of the day, and spot cleaning or removing pet hair from the material is really easy. While the sectional was originally an aesthetic purchase, the comfort level matches its looks. It’s great for napping, lounging, and reading—it’s a dream!” –Rachel Fletcher, senior commerce editor

This inviting boucle lounge chair is an accent chair you won’t be afraid to sit on. The buoyancy doesn’t just stop at the brand’s sofas; AD contributor Jake Smith called it “comfortable,” “well-made,” and “springy” in his review. And though its chunky silhouette might not be best for small apartments, it’s versatile enough to fit in with a variety of interior aesthetics. “It sort of gestures at MCM design, but I think it’s true to Castlery’s nonspecific style—it would work in a bunch of different setups,” Jake says. “I have a postmodern vibe going on and worried that this chair might clash with the rest of my furniture, but it blends in well and doesn’t look out of place.” The best part? Assembly takes 10 minutes, one person, no headaches, and no additional money.
The bottom line: “I just moved into a spacious new apartment, and this chair fills one corner of my living room perfectly; it’s great for a little reading nook. It hasn’t sagged; it’s springy and really nice to sit on.” –Jake Smith, contributor

You know the corner of your bedroom or living room that’s just begging for a chair? This handsome armchair has a slim profile and sleek design that’ll fit the bill. You can opt for a fabric or leather upholstery, and you can add an ottoman if you want more of a cozy reading nook. It’s ideal for anyone who prefers a firm seat. “It definitely feels well constructed but the foam seats have very little give—this is a positive if you want to have a more formal and upright feel, less so if you want a sink-into-it kind of experience,” Rachel Fletcher, senior commerce editor wrote in her review. Its brass-tipped legs, wood frame, and fabric colors compliment midcentury or traditional decor.
The bottom line: “This chair is very grown-up—a classic—which isn’t entirely my home decor style, but it would look great in a more traditional or midcentury-modern home. Because of the angle of the cushion, which is tilted down towards the seat back, you definitely want to lean back and enjoy the chair.” —Rachel Fletcher, senior commerce editor

This stately, fluted bed frame is ideal for someone who wants a sturdy wood frame and likes a bit of detailing on their headboard. It adds a natural, grounded vibe to any bedroom, and honestly it might be one of the best Castlery products out there. Though it’s solid and a bit looming, the fluted design is elegant (and adds texture to an otherwise bland wall). “I also think that the slats make a great ‘statement piece’ in a small bedroom that might not have room for much else decoration-wise,” contributor Rachel Davies wrote in their review. Though it has a large profile, it lacks underbed storage—the Emery’s only real con. Rachel raved over its surprisingly easy assembly too.
