This six-drawer dresser looks like something from West Elm but at a much more affordable price.It is crafted from solid pine and MDF and comes in both a deep walnut and a lighter, caramel-colored wood.

Made from water-resistant teak, this tray lets you prop up a tablet or book for reading in the bath, and even has a wine-glass holder. Writer Verena von Pfetten is a fan and says, “It makes me feel almost productive, even if all I’m really doing is lounging, drinking, and catching up on prestige television.”

Ideal for dining outdoors, this affordable set is made from sustainable acacia wood and comes recommended by interior designer and Duett Interiors founder Tiffany Thompson, who likes its versatility. Everything folds up for easy storage, and if you really want to spread out, the table can be extended, creating space for guests.

If your outdoor space is limited, this storage bench offers both seating and a place to stash bug repellent, cushions, or other essentials. It’s made from stained acacia wood, which is ideal for weathering the elements.

Recommended by architect Ming Thompson, this tiny table clamps onto balconies and fire escapes, making dining or working outside possible. When you’re not using it, it’s easy to tuck away and store, making it the ideal table for the couple with limited square footage.

This nice-looking magazine rack has a modern, streamlined silhouette and is made from a light, goes-with-everything wood.

These multicolored pencils are a favorite of artistPeter Shire, who uses them for both note-taking and marking his various creations. They can write on anything, he says, and have a sleek-looking back in place of an eraser. “They have so much potential,” he says.

This do-anything Japanese knife comes highly recommended by Justin Devillier of La Petite Grocery in New Orleans and has a driftwood handle that’s been buffed supersmooth. “I’d use it If I were a home cook and I were having people over to break down a chicken, cut up vegetables, or chop herbs. It’s a total everything-you-do type of chef’s knife,” he says.

When Strategist social editor Hannah Starke moved into her new apartment, she had to somehow navigate a 22-square-foot kitchen and make it work for her needs. One of her solutions: this wooden wall-mountedpot rack that is ideal for hanging and storing pots and pans.

End arguments about overstuffed closets or one spouse leaving clothes on the floor with this leaning wall ladder that works as a garment rack.

Burning palo santo, which means holy wood in Spanish, gives off a natural, piney smell that Strategist senior editor Katy Schneider compares to “a spring hike after a rainstorm.” Great for those days when you’d love to be out in nature but are stuck indoors.

This compact mechanical pencil is a favorite of illustrator Tuesday Bassen, who loves its “chunky aesthetic.” They’re ideal for grocery lists and love notes alike, and can be refilled with any 0.7mm lead.

If you don’t already have a good cutting board, this oversize one (recommended by Ming Thompson, architect and principal at Atelier Cho Thompson) gives you plenty of room for chopping, mincing, and dicing, and also works as a serving platter.

We dubbed this balsa-wood beauty the “Prius of ceiling fans” thanks to its extremely efficient motor. It uses only 27 watts of energy (much fewer than your standard 60-watt light bulb) and will only set you back $5 in energy costs a year. It’s also got an elegant, modern design and six speeds to keep you cool.

With all that money you’re saving on dry cleaning, treat yourself to this durable maple drying rack. “This rack is extremely well made of solid, heavy-duty wood,” raves one Amazon reviewer.

If you and your partner take pride in your home’s cleanliness, you’ll love using this humidity-resistant French ash-wood broom that’s nice looking enough to show off. After all, Schneider tells us artisan brooms are having a moment.

Though technically meant for children, these wooden cherries from German toy food brand Erzi happen to be a favorite of (full-grown adult) Strategist writer Liza Corsillo.
