As Good Housekeeping’s home design director, I come across tons of home-related products, both good and bad. But there are some special finds that are just too great to keep to myself. That’s why I’m sharing my favorite home items with you—our readers—here on our website every month in the hope that you’ll appreciate them as much as I do.


School is back in full swing, and if you have kids, that means finding simple ways to keep them organized and excited about learning. Whether it's great storage bins for their supplies or floating bookshelves to keep their ever-growing collection in order, this list of favorites has you covered. To amp up their at-home workspace, I've found an easy-to-assemble desk chair as well as a cork board that's perfect for displaying photos, art and fun quotes that inspire them. Find these affordable items and more in this roundup of the best products for students right now.

Student Desk Chair

Every student needs a good desk chair to tackle homework. Available in seven colors, this adjustable design features a foam seat with comfortable padding. Reviewers like that it's easy to assemble (one's pre-teen even handled it on her own!) and it's a great value.
