If you tend to only add products with tons of five-star reviews to your cart, you’ll appreciate this collection of home improvement products. Not only do they all have thousands of rave reviews, but fellow shoppers were kind enough to also leave their written opinion so you can gain better insight on exactly how each product will perform. After scrolling through everything from luxurious sheets that will upgrade your bedroom to kitchen gadgets that will make cooking easier (and cleaner), you’ll have a cart full of quality inventions that will transform your home.

01These Luxuriously Soft & Durable Bamboo Sheets

Between their wrinkle resistance and their durable microfibers, it’s hard to pinpoint what customers love most about these bamboo sheets — especially because they resist stains and fading as well. The breathable and soft fabric blend of bamboo-based rayon and brushed microfiber ensure they last longer than standard cotton sheets. The four-piece set comes in 13 different colors to match your decor.

02These Space-Saving Velvet Hangers With Tie Bars

Thanks to their ultra-thin design, these velvet hangers give you a lot more space to work with in your closet. The soft velvet exterior is gentle on clothing but offers an unparalleled grip to keep pieces from slipping off. Each hanger can hold nearly 10 pounds and the hook swivels 360 degrees. They also feature a handy necktie bar that would also work for scarves and belts.

03This Money-Saving Cold Brew Maker

Turn your kitchen into a cafe with this cold brew maker. The durable canister is made of borosilicate glass and can hold up to four cups at a time.

It features a stainless steel filter to keep grounds where they belong and a no-slip silicone base to prevent slipping or shattering.

04A Rainfall Showerhead That Uses Less Water

Not only will this rainfall showerhead make you feel like you’re in a fancy spa — it will save you money too.

05A Laundry Detergent Holder for a Perfect Pour Each Time
