Sauder Lux Bar Cart

Price: $174.41

The product: Can you have Midcentury Modern decor without a bar cart? This one by Sauder is in a satin gold finish, is on casters, and is at a price point that will still allow you to afford Scotch. Or gin. Or vodka.

What buyers are saying: “This cart is awesome. I have a thing for bar carts and this is a good one. I like how it is taller than the standard cart and it is sturdy so it would be difficult for a child to tip. The Glass is a good thickness, strong enough to hold my Bose speaker unit on the lower shelf and my laptop on the top shelf.” —Missy G.

Libbey Cut Cocktails Passage Rocks Glasses

Price: $37.97

What buyers are saying: “I bought these glasses because I was tired of the cheap glasses that won’t hold up in the dishwasher. These are beautiful and they don’t mind the dishwasher at all. They are the perfect size to hold in my smallish hands.” — T. L. Frameli

Kate and Laurel Sylvie Birds Framed Canvas by Rachel Lee

Price: $69.99

The product: If this sweet print doesn’t make you think, “Hello, world, hear the song that we’re singin’
C’mon get happy!” well, you’re probably quite young and should share this article with your mom or (weeps silently) grandmother.

What buyers are saying: “Love Love Love this artwork!! The colors are sharp and brilliant, it’s big and bold, and absolutely perfect above the fireplace. It’s exactly what the room needed. It unites various splashes of color in the family room and makes me smile every time I look at it. It’s cheerful and playful and I’m very very happy with my purchase.” — SMD

Homelegance Erath Fabric Sofa

Price: $470.43

The product: Yes, yes, we have a Midcentury sofa on here, too. And at less than $500, this sofa has some pretty elegant lines and a classic button-tufted seat back. It comes in sand, blue, and orange (if you’re more adventurous), and most reviewers gave it four to five stars.

What buyers are saying: “This is a great sofa. I’ve had it about 4 months and it still looks brand new…pretty amazing considering I have two kids and three dogs. Very comfortable and sturdy. I bought this to replace a custom made sofa I returned made by a well known mid century modern furniture manufacturer. I’m so happy with this purchase because the price is fantastic and the quality is higher than what I was expecting. I wish there was an ottoman to match…I would buy that, too.” — Lindsay K.
