27 Home Items Amazon Customers Are Loving August 2025

Amazon has a list of products called "Movers and Shakers," which is pretty much just fancy talk for things that are currently ~trending,~ Here are some of the most useful and loved home products on the list this week: Some super-useful stick-on wall hooks because whether you need to hang a bag, a hat, a towel, or just about anything else you want up off the floor, these have GOT YOU. Make back-to-school a breeze by having a Designated Spot for the backpack/lunchbox situation without having to hunt down a hammer. Promising review: "The hooks look good quality and so far none of them comes off the door. It's great for hanging hats and handbags. It looks like it can hold several handbags and hats so the durability is good." —Yuyu LiPrice: $9.99+ for a 4-pack (available in 6- and 12-packs and in five colors) A set of vacuum storage bags: Fairy godmother-approved to make your out-of-season wardrobe go *poof*, or at least to make them flat enough to store somewhere other than your overcrowded closet. Promising review: "Every spring and fall I dread the thought of switching out my wardrobe. I was packing everything in giant Tupperwares and dragging it up and down from the attic. Now that I have this, I can tuck all my clothes neatly in the top of my closet AND they will stay cleaner and fresher than before. I also want to say that I was a little worried that the plastic bags would have an odor to them that may taint the clothes inside, but there was no odor at all. All in all very happy with this buy!" —Britney FrandsenPrice: $11.58+ (available in four sizes and packs of 10, 15, 20, and 25) A Bentgo bento-style lunchbox for kiddos with a built-in space for the ice pack to keep the food well and truly cold. Shout-out to all my fellow '90s babies who remember the limp cheese sandwiches when the ice pack would slide to the far reaches of your lunchbox. Today's kids don't know how good they have it. Psst. If you're thinking about back-to-school, I LOVE Bentgo's whole line, including their backpacks and lunchboxes. Promising review: "I have a few different bentgo products. I like this one in particular because it has four compartments and has the cooler part. My son has to have something in each spot of his lunchbox so the four compartments are better than the five one. The 90 opening is a little different and something to get used to. The cooler is great so I don't have to worry about if the food is staying at a safe temperature. We also use these for travel to keep snack items cool for the kids." —NicolePrice: $22.99 (available in nine colors) And a Bentgo Kids lunch bag in the cutest prints to get your kiddo excited to go back to school. I LOVE that the Bentgo lunchboxes have a handle that unbuckles so you can attach the lunchbox directly to the backpack! Less to carry for your kid (and for you at the end of the day.)Promising reviews: "We got the dinosaur print and we love it. My son started preschool and he a tiny toddler but the strap makes it easy for him to carry his bag when he wants to be independent. His bento box fits perfectly and I love that it has a little cup holder makes it easier to put things together on busy morning and have less things to carry." —Alma "I'm thrilled with the Bentgo Kids Lunch Bag! It fits perfectly in my child's backpack and accommodates several sizes of Bentgo bento boxes with ease. After a whole season of being dragged through grass and enduring the rigors of summer camp, it still looks great with only minimal scratches and no stains. While it's on the pricier side, its rugged portable durability and excellent performance (no leaks!) make it a worthwhile investment. The zipper has had no issues, which I have found to be a problem with other brands. The shape and weight are super versatile and allow for ease of portability. Highly recommended for active kids!" —Ashley CosmiPrice: $19.99 (available in 23 prints) A zippered mattress protector that will help keep your mattress clean, dry, and bedbug or dust mite–free. Bonus points that it won't slip and slide beneath your sheets because the zipper and tight fit will keep the protector from budging! Promising review: "Love the fact it is not a stiff plastic but a soft cloth-like cover. Was easy to put on and was deep enough to cover my 14' mattress. Definitely worth it." —Kathie D BrazilPrice: $19.99+ (available in 12 sizes and various multipacks) An easy-twist chicken shredder tool to kiss the irritating two-fork method of trying to make dinner goodbye for good. Promising review: "I cannot say enough about this little gadget for shredding chicken!!! It is amazing! I have done the two-fork method – that's exhausting. I have done the beater/mixer method — that's messy. But THIS is easy, quick, and shreds chicken like it should be shredded — so it gets used often. Just spray both pieces with some olive oil, let chicken cool a little after frying, and easy peasy—shredded chicken for so many dishes. I LOVE THIS. I always slice my chicken breasts thin into about three pieces and this will handle all three at a time." —DPrice: $7.99+ (available in eight colors) A Black + Decker cordless dust buster handheld vacuum so you can finally get that crusty mummified fry lodged between your driver's seat and the console. (Also great for couch cushions, under appliances, and anywhere else that needs a good "busting.") Promising review: "We bought two! We stash one in our family car and then one in the house. High powered so great for spilled snacks, dirt or dog hair!" —Ryan and Lauren WilcoxPrice: $21.25 A hanging bed caddy that wants to be your bestest of friends and help tidy up your charging cords, your phone, your water bottle, *and* keep it all happily accessible from your bed. Promising review: "I used this on my lofted dorm bed and it was perfect! The main caddy is large enough that it could fit my big water bottles without spilling. I could fit my laptop, tablet, and more at the same time. The material is nice and it has a metal frame to keep it sturdy. The mesh pockets are also great for holding drinks or your phone." —Abby RiggsPrice: $15.96+ (available in five colors and packs of two) Or a bedside shelf if you prefer a flat surface upon which to rest your dinner, snacks, and other bedroom essentials. Promising review: "I love this! I used it for my son's loft bed and it stays so well. The cord holders are perfect and the product seems to be very high quality and a good price. Very easy to install and get setup. Great solution for anyone without a lot of space!" —William PennyPrice: $29.99+ (available in three styles and two colors) A set of slim velvet hangers to help free up some room in overcrowded closets if you're currently using those thick wooden or plastic hangers. Bonus: These also prevent clothes from slipping off onto the floor! Promising review: "These hangers have a thin design, meaning you can fit more clothing into your closet. They are nonslip. They are sturdy but lightweight, enough not to weigh down your closet rod. I bought them for all the closets in my home. I suggest you buy at least two sets." —CottageDesignsByErinPrice: $14.30+ (available in nine colors and packs of 30, 50, and 100) A hat organizer tower for displaying your cap collection with pride and also getting rid of the unseemly pile in the corner of your closet. ~Hats off~ to you for tidying your space! Promising review: "This product works exactly as advertised. The racks are lightweight and easy to install via adhesive to walls, which is solid. Hats are simple to retrieve and put away without disturbing the others. And in my case, 40 hats fits in a very small footprint. :)" —Erik NeitzelPrice: $8.99+ (available in two colors and packs of two and four) A cast-iron juicer because you deserve insta-juice when you want it, and not easily broken plastic handles that will leave you frustrated *and* without fresh orange juice. Promising review: "This is wonderful. I have gone through so many hand held squeeze juicers and they all broke. This is heavy duty and gets all the juice out. It is easy to clean and comes with suction feet. Be careful that you put the handle all the way up before you move in or it may hit you in the head and it's heavy. This cast iron juicer should last long enough to get passed down in the family." —Catherine AdkinsPrice: $69.99+ (available in four colors) A nonstick ceramic frying pan reviewers love for its heat distribution and easy cleaning. (And that I love for its resemblance to Rapunzel's frying pan without the heavy weight of cast iron.) Promising review: "My inexpensive 8-inch frying pan was reaching the end of its life. I bought this one based on reviews — and I love it. It's substantial but not cast-iron-heavy. It truly is nonstick, and washing up is a breeze. It's good enough that I'm considering upgrading my other saucepans to the same type. Great quality without the high-priced brand pricing." —TwisterjesterPrice: $19.99+ (available in five sizes and three colors) An olive oil dispenser and sprayer if you're tired of buying aerosol cooking sprays or constantly digging through your cabinet for the oil. This is cute enough (and convenient enough!) to leave out on the counter. Promising review: "I absolutely love this oil sprayer/pourer! I try to avoid aerosols whenever possible due to their strong smell, so this product is a fantastic alternative. It's easy to use and effectively prevents oil from getting everywhere, which makes cooking and meal prep so much more enjoyable. One thing to note is that you have to pull the lever pretty quickly to achieve a fine mist; if the oil comes out too chunky, it means you're going too slowly. Once you get the hang of it, it delivers a nice, even spray. Overall, it's a great addition to my kitchen that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a mess-free way to use oil!" —pinnaclePrice: $8.99+ (available in 10 colors and various two-packs) Some double-hook shower curtain rings so you can hang your shower curtain and liner ~separately~ which makes it so much easier to keep everything neat and tidy. (Especially helpful if you're about to go on a pre-school top-to-bottom house cleaning spree.) Promising review: "I absolutely love these shower hooks!! I bought them approximately 6 months ago and they remain in great condition, even in a humid bathroom with little ventilation. They are sturdy and easy to use, as well as aesthetically pleasing! Highly recommend and worth the price! Having hoods for both the inner and outer curtain make such a big difference when cleaning or showering." —Gaby BurgosPrice: $5.97+ for a pack of 12 (available in 11 colors) A lightweight Eureka stick vacuum powerful enough to get all the ick out of your space for a fraction of the price of some of those competitors. Call me old-fashioned, but I love a clearly visible dustbin so I can 👀 at all the sweet, sweet dust I'm busting as I clean. Very motivating. Promising review: "It is lightweight and easy to use but powerful. I was able to reach places I normally have to move furniture for. Picks up cat litter easily. Works on carpet but since it doesn't have carpet brush not as good as a full size vacuum. Very easy to go from upright to hand held with one hand. Easy to empty the dust cup. I wish I would have found this sooner. Great for quick small cleans ups. Very well made. I would buy again." —Karen FPrice: $29.09+ (available in four styles and four colors) A Dash rapid egg cooker for when you just want a little egg to go with your meal, but don't want the big hassle of prepping it on the stovetop. It's like having your own personal egg butler! Promising review: "I am so glad I bought this. I love the fact that the sound when it is done is not that annoying scoreboard buzzer sound. It plays a little tune or chime. It is easy to follow the measurements for water, the plastic measuring cup has two labeled sides, just make sure you use the fill to line for the proper amount of eggs placed in it. Solid purchase I am happy with it." —Carmen San Diego Price: $16.97+ (available in two sizes and seven colors) A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner reviewers swear by for carpets, car seats and car seats (iykyk), rugs, and anything else upholstered that has been through any rough summertime oopsies and spills. An oscillating Dreo tower fan with four speeds if you're tired of the stagnant air getting you down and need a little easy ~breezy~ quick fix. Promising review: "This fan is fantastic. I can't believe I waited so long to put a fan in my office. My office has been way too hot all week and was way too hot when I plugged it in earlier today, and now it feels cool. It didn't change the temperature one single degree but I feel cool now. It's a huge fan and it came in a huge box. It took maybe three minutes to put the stand on it and get it started. Remote control worked perfectly wit the first use. I have it oscillating, set to level 2, and every time it hits me, it feels icy cold. Wildly effective. Level 2 is very quiet. On level 4, it's a pretty loud droning noise, but it also is moving a huge amount of air, so I understand. I would recommend this to anyone." —Regular DudePrice: $69.99+ (available in four colors) A folding nonslip step stool for those of us who are ~vertically challenged~ and want to have access to more than just the bottom 5 feet of our living spaces. Promising review: "Great little step stool. Works great for me and my kiddo. Helps her reach the sink and me to reach the higher cabinets. I love how it folds up and stashes away in a corner until needed so it's not in the way." —VictoriaPrice: $9.99+ (available in six sizes and 19 colors) A digital meat thermometer so you can get the perfect temp for meats. (You'll be so impressed when your steak comes out so well without 100 little stabby stabs in it from obsessively checking the color.) Promising review: "This little digital thermometer is fantastic! It's super easy to use and has a magnet to keep on the side of the stove for convenience." —Tammy MathiesonPrice: $16.99+ (available in two colors) A mesh shower caddy to make the room-to-shower journey a one-handed breeze. Life is hard enough without trying to juggle your shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothbrush, and whatever else with only two hands. Promising review: "I'm so glad I bought this shower caddy! It's the perfect size for dorm life, with lots of pockets to keep my toiletries and other essential organized. The flexible design makes it easy to pack and transport, and its durable enough to withstand daily use. I'm very happy with this purchase." —antoniette $11.99+ (available in 11 colors and packs of two) An electric kettle you can display proudly on your counter that labels you as a sophisticated person who absolutely would never consider sticking their mug in the microwave. Nope. Not you. Lady Whistledown can put away her gossip pen for now. Promising review: "I am obsessed with this kettle. I love drinking hot water with lemon. I used to just warm water on my stove and those days are over. I count to 5 and my water is the perfect temp. I loved it so much I bought my mom one too. Definitely great value and great quality." —JuliannePrice: $17.25+ (available in two sizes and two styles) A lemony scented travel-size Poo-Pourri toilet spray to spritz in the toilet before you go that uses ~magic smell science~ to keep any undesirable smells trapped in the bowl. It's like an air pre-freshener, and this travel size is perfect for keeping in your bag! Promising review: "Bought this specifically to use on our cruise. Three boys, tight quarters – it was a life saver! First time using it and will be buying again. The scent of the actual spray was good and not too strong. Highly recommend." —Dave MPrice: $4.93+ (available in six sizes) A shoe rack for your cluttered closet, getting you one step closer to the Clueless closet of your dreams! Wherever you stick it, it promises to turn your shoe pile into a shoe ✨experience✨. Promising review: "I was surprised to find the racks are a plastic material but once I put this together I found it works really well! The wire racks I was using aren't great for heels because they fall through the opening. This is very flat and stable to hold all types of shoes and other items." —SAPrice: $11.99+ (available in five sizes and five colors) A Brita filter water pitcher to fill up your emotional support water bottle with ease sans the funky tap water taste! Promising review: "The pitcher is easy to use and dismantle for washing. It's eliminated the weird taste or slight "grit" which regular tap can sometimes give you. It's also not too wide so it can easily fit inside even a smaller fridge. The filter speed is quick which is also great. The cost of additional filters isn't unreasonable either in my opinion." —TajPrice: $24.06+ (available in two styles and two colors) And finally, a mulberry silk pillowcase which can help keep your hair from tangling overnight, and that many reviewers swear keeps them much cooler than their nonsilk cases. Promising review: "Rich colors and well-made with excellent invisible zipper. They're cooler than standard pillowcases, and they reduce the amount of tangles caused as you sleep. They wash very well, too!" —AnnieBPrice: $11.99+ (available in four sizes, 24 colors, and various two-packs)

I've Tested Countless Swimsuits, and These Tankinis Are My Vacation Favorites—From $28

When it comes to travel essentials, tossing a swimsuit or two in your carry-on is always a good idea. Summer is the perfect time to treat yourself to new vacation swimwear that's versatile, comfortable, and flattering. If you love the convenience of a two-piece, but prefer a little more coverage than your typical bikini, you'll be happy to know tankinis are trending again—and today's styles are more flattering than ever. The best part? Tankinis are perfect for mixing and matching, so you can shop for separates as well as sets. Keep scrolling for my favorite tankini swimsuits from Boden, Summersalt, Cupshe, and more shopper-loved swimsuit brands, starting at $28. Best Tankini Swimsuits Cupshe V-neck Criss-cross Ruched Tankini Amazon I recently took this Cupshe tankini on a Colorado road trip and was pleasantly surprised at how stylish and functional it was. The top provided impressive lift and support, and the ruching was so flattering, I even posted a few selfies on Instagram from my waterfall hike to Treasure Falls. I loved wearing this suit to the hotel pool, then just slipping on pants and wearing the top like a tank when I had to run back to the room or stop by the lobby bar. Travel + Leisure Carve Designs Stinson Tankini Amazon There are so many great tankini tops at Amazon, like this style from Carve Designs. Keep things simple by grabbing a basic bikini bottom and then mixing and matching with different tops. This black tankini from Carve Designs has a built-in shelf bra, removable pads, and an athletic back. It also comes with a UPF 50+ rating for optimal sun protection. One Amazon reviewer raved about its comfort, saying it was 'very, very comfortable' and 'stays put all day.' Beachsissi V-neck Tummy Control Tankini Amazon If you haven't tried a V-neck, ruched swimsuit, I'm here to tell you it's an extremely flattering style—especially in a tankini. Seriously, once you slip into this Beachsissi tankini set, you'll be ready to head to the pool or beach with confidence. I love the selection of solid tops and floral print bikini bottoms. My favorites are the sky blue top with cornflower bottoms and the light pink top with orange blossom bottoms. Tommy Hilfiger Classic Bikini Bottom Amazon If you're looking for a basic bikini bottom to pair with a variety of tankini tops, this Tommy Hilfiger is it. This classic bottom provides UPF 50+ sun protection, comes in a variety of colors, and earns top reviews for comfort and rear coverage. One shopper praised the cut of the bottom, saying, '[It's] hard to find a suit with good rear coverage. This one is perfect.' Boden Enhancer Tankini Top Boden If you're seeking a swimsuit with great support, look no further. A halter-style tankini with a true built-in bra (underwire and padded cups), the Enhancer Tankini from Boden was made to flatter. According to reviewers, the suit works well for both small and large busts, with a 38DD shopper saying it fit perfectly, and another small-busted reviewer noting, 'This tankini top is super flattering on my modest 34A bust. It fits really well without any gaping, and the padding gives a much-needed bit of shape.' Lands' End Tulip Hem Tankini Top Land's End Lands' End has gone all in on tankinis. With five fit categories (classic length, modern length, midkini length, high neck, and plus-size) and dozens of styles, it's easy to find the cut and color that best suits your body type. The Tulip Hem Tankini Top offers even more choices, with nearly 20 colors and patterns to choose from, as well as petite, regular, and long torso options. A built-in bra and adjustable straps ensure comfort, while the tulip hemline flatters your midline. Bonus: The fabric is chlorine-resistant, so go ahead and hit the pool without worrying about damage. That goes for you, too, since this tankini comes with UPF 50 sun protection. Summersalt Cinched Square-neck Tankini Top Summersalt I own more than a few tankinis, but I couldn't resist adding this cute Summersalt pick to my cart. It has ruching, and it's adjustable. Also, the wide straps and flirty side bows are fun additions. Plus, it includes a shelf bra and the elusive sewn-in cups. You can feel good about the fabric too—it's made with recycled post-consumer materials, including old fishing nets pulled from the ocean. La Blanca Island Goddess Halter Tankini Top Amazon I'm a longtime La Blanca swimsuit fan. They know a woman's body, and I have multiple swimsuits from the brand that not only look great, but the quality stands up over time. This Island Goddess Halter Tankini Top has wide supportive straps, a sexy plunging neckline, and flattering tummy ruching. And if ocean swimming and body surfing are on your vacation schedule, reviewers claim it stays perfectly in place in the water. Patagonia Cami Tankini Top REI As you would expect, REI has several sporty tankini options. I like this Cami Tankini Top from Patagonia that reminds me of my favorite yoga sports bra. It's a supportive, full-coverage top that holds you in securely for swimming in the ocean or frolicking with the kids in the hotel pool. The top is available in black or a beautiful, subtly striped blue. For the bottoms, choose from a variety of Patagonia styles with a range of coverage, from bikini bottoms to board shorts. Lilly Pulitzer Brenta Tankini Top Lilly Pulitzer Leave it to Lilly Pulizer to create the ultimate luxe tankini for looking great poolside or cruising around the resort in comfort and style. This top has a flattering V-neck design with adjustable straps and light shirring through the torso, plus removable cups for customizable coverage. The gold shell detailing is such a nice touch, too. Pair this tankini top with the Betie Bikini Bottom, a mid-rise hipster with moderate back coverage, and you're ready for an unforgettable vacation. The suit takes up little suitcase space, and it's made with quick-drying fabric, so it's super easy to rinse in the hotel sink and dry overnight. Travel + Leisure Love a great deal?

12 Best Outdoor Benches To Upgrade Your Yard

A two-person acacia wood woven rope bench that's as pretty as it is comfortable. This will be the perfect place to sit outdoors while you scroll TikTok for hours (just don't forget the sunscreen). A wicker bench with a cushion to turn any corner of your yard into a sit-and-stay-a-while spot. The weather-resistant frame and cushion will handle summer storms without a fuss, and its 700-pound capacity means it'll hold you, your favorite person, and maybe even a tray of lemonade with ease. Promising review: "Holds over 600 pounds with ease, much nicer than the price point suggests. It's deep enough from front to back to sit comfortably. The cushion is comfortable, and the slight give of the weaving underneath the cushion makes a very soft, supportive seat. I am very, very impressed with the quality of this bench, especially considering that similar benches cost two to three times as much. I kind of expected this bench to have cut corners, and was very pleased to find that the quality is equal to much more expensive benches. I highly recommend this product!" —B BaGet it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in 14 color combos). A storage bench if you need a comfy perch *and* a place to stash your outdoor stuff. The waterproof eucalyptus frame will stand up to the elements, while the easy lift-seat hides a roomy compartment lined to keep your things clean and dry. Promising review: "I bought this bench a year and a half ago, and I purposely waited to post this review until I had the opportunity to see how the bench would hold up. Well, it looks just as nice and works just as well as when I first purchased it! It's attractive and sturdy. I keep it outside, by my front door. The seat lifts up, with plenty of WATERPROOF storage underneath. I keep my mucking boots, running shoes, etc., in this bench, and everything has consistently stayed dry, even in the most blustery storms. I love the appearance and functionality of this product. It was well worth the price! Highly recommend!" —MHGet it from Amazon for $156.99+ (available in two widths). Or a resin storage bench if you prefer something with no upkeep. This 70-gallon option is made from weather-resistant resin that won't crack, peel, or need seasonal oiling, perfect if you want a seat that lives outside year-round with zero fuss. It's also really roomy, which is perfect for storing bulkier gear like pool floats or garden tools. Promising review: "This was a surprisingly nice build. Good for a small backyard; stores random tools and garden hoses. No water gets inside, either. Highly recommend." —YUNI it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in two colors). A brightly colored outdoor bench with a contemporary pattern that'll bring a pop of personality to your outdoor space. It's built from weather-resistant metal with a floral cutout back that's as pretty as it is sturdy. With an 800-pound capacity, it'll easily seat you and a couple of friends for morning coffee or an afternoon chat. Promising review: "I ordered this bench as soon as I saw it advertised. I am very happy with it. It is very sturdy. I just love it. I placed it in my garden (more for decoration) and find that I am actually using it. It shows up nicely from the road and adds a lot of character to my garden." —DutchGet it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in seven colors). A metal backless bench to slip seamlessly into any outdoor setup. Its weather-resistant faux wood top and metal frame keep things simple, modern, and low-maintenance, while the streamlined shape makes it perfect for pairing with a dining table for placing along a garden path. Promising review: "This picnic bench is incredibly sturdy and well-made. The stainless steel gives it a clean, modern look, and it feels heavy and durable — definitely built to last. It's a great match for my outdoor setup and is easy to keep clean. Very happy with the quality!" —RobertGet it from Wayfair for $87.99. A poly lumber bench that looks like real wood but won't rot, chip, or fade. Made from 100% recycled materials, it's heavy-duty enough to hold 700 pounds without flexing, yet compact enough for porches or smaller garden spots. All of the charm of wood seating, none of the upkeep. Psilvam is a small business that sells outdoor furniture. Promising review: "One of the best buys I've ever made. It's tricky to find a bench that is comfortable without trying it first. This bench is comfy, well-made, lovely color, and fits perfectly in the place we had in mind. The weight and quality are better than any we examined in person at local retail. Very happy." —E. it from Amazon for $197.99+ (available in seven colors). An acacia wood bench for bringing timeless warmth to your patio, garden, or even poolside. Its slatted back and seat let rainwater drain away, so you're never stuck drying it off before you sit, and the 800-pound capacity means you can share it with a friend or two. Promising review: "We needed a bench for our back porch and we searched high and low until we found this one. It's very sturdy and beautiful. We love it!" —Tina Get it from Wayfair for $108.99. A cast-iron bench with a pullout middle table that pops up when you need a spot for drinks or snacks, then folds back down to become a regular bench. Great for you and a pal to crack open a bottle and do a marathon watch of your favorite show, or for providing extra seating for big backyard gatherings. Promising review: "This is a nice bench! I am not at all concerned about it holding up outside. The table in the middle is so convenient. We have left ours up since we got it, since it's usually just my husband and I sitting on it, but it's nice to know we can put it down if we need extra seating. It is as comfortable as any other metal bench, which is to say some cushions might be in my future if we start spending more time out there." —Shannon Robinson Get it from Amazon for $105.99. A butterfly bench if your outdoor space needs a whimsical focal point. It's as durable as it is eye-catching, making it a statement piece you'll admire every time you step outside.

An Adirondack bench for doubling your lounging potential. It pairs the laid-back aesthetic of classic Adirondack chairs with seating for two, so you can stretch out solo or share the view. Promising review: "Easy to put together, comfortable, and perfect as a match to the single Adirondack chair purchased separately. It works better for a sitting area near the barbecue. No need to buy four or more separate Adirondack chairs for an outdoor patio setting." —Austin Get it from Wayfair for $253.99+ (available in two colors).
