With so many great furniture brands on the market, we enlisted the help of some interior designers, decorators, and guys with great taste to cut through the noise and find the best furniture brands to shop now.

"Typically they're focused on having pieces that are well made, look good, and versatile," Garcia says. In other words, top-notch furniture that can pull double duty on function and style, especially for city dwellers who want to make the most out of their limited spaces. In order to find the best furniture brands to buy now, we talked to over a dozen interior designers (Garcia among them), and considered a variety of styles that appealed to men (think: midcentury modern, farmhouse, minimalist etc.). So whether you're looking to overhaul your bachelor pad or simply want to make your home a little more cozy, these 23 best furniture brands will improve any room.
Design gurus love this Detroit-based upstart for its modular, minimalist pieces that are easy to assemble and take apart, which makes it a great option for guys who move a lot. Plus, Floyd keeps prices competitive with a direct-to-consumer model to avoid additional mark ups. "It's like Ikea on steroids," says interior decorator Robbie Randolph. "High quality at a very reasonable price."
A few of our editors own Floyd's IG-famous wares, from the Platform Bed to the Bookshelf. What they all have in common: modular, easy to assemble (much moreso than your typical Ikea), and look great with a wide variety of decor styles. Though we did find that unlike other furniture brands on the last, most of Floyd's furniture does not have free shipping (it's approximately 12 percent of your order), but after a year of hands-on testing some of Floyd's bestselling furniture, our editors found the shipping costs didn't take away from the brand's many pros.

Gray Space Interiors' Rasheeda Gray gives top marks to this Singaporean startup for its price, delivery speed, and variety. "The turnaround time of four to six to six weeks is amazing, especially with the current delivery delays across the industry," Gray says. "The semi-custom options available for the fabric and leg colors offer lots of on trend options ... The value is exceptional for the quality."
In terms of quality, our editors found that Castlery's coffee tables and couches have a sturdier build compared to similarly-priced labels. They also loved Castlery's TV stands, which are made of hefty wood that's rendered in sleek, minimalist designs that just look amazing. Yes, this is more expensive than most entry-level furniture brands out there, but
Buying furniture to fill a room can cost a fortune, which is why stylists recommend this budget-friendly line of contemporary, down-to-earth bed frames, sofas, and more home essentials that come in plenty of colors and patterns to spruce up any space. Novogratz's couches look great and are actually comfortable (a rarity at this price point), and most offerings can be purchased on Amazon. Guys looking to score an even better deal should check out its five "Room in a Box" bundles of furnishings at discounted prices. An office chair, computer desk, and table lamp for under $400? Add to cart.
After testing Novogratz furniture for a year, our editors found that it did not hold up as well as more premium furniture brands. One editor found that the legs on the accent chair he ordered became wobbly, and ultimately had to replace it. Still, if you're looking for a cheap, no-nonsense furniture to stock up your starter home with, Novogratz has your needs covered.

By know, you know Saatva makes some of the best mattresses in the market (see: its countless Sleep Awards), and now, the direct-to-order sleep brand is diving into furniture. We're happy to report that the results are just as fantastic as its marquee bedding products. All of Saatva's bed frames, benches, and accent chairs are made in America, features sustainably sourced wood, and hold up after years of use. Its Santorini bed frame in particular, is a standout product.
In testing the sleep brand's bed frames, our editors found that they have an extremely sturdy build that can hold the brand's over-100 pound mattress with ease. And while yes, Saatva's frames are pretty expensive at over $1,400, we found that the premium construction, great looks, and its cozy upholstered fabric justify its price point. Better still, Saatva's bedfroom furniture fall under the brand's 365-night home trial, meaning, if you don't love it within a year of buying it, Saatva will pick it up and issue a full refund (you'll have to pay a $99 processing fee).
Made-to-order brand Interior Define boasts plenty of customizable options at a mid-range price. For example: you can choose over 120 color and fabric options, ranging from velvet to performance-based swatches. And while its marquee sectionals get the most attention, we also like its stylish, functional accent chairs you'll actually want to spend hours in.
We love that Interior Define stands by the quality of its wares, as evident by its 10-year warranty, which covers manufacturer's defects on the frame and suspension system in sofas and chairs. And while we've only been able to test Interior Define's furniture for just over a year, we can attest to the brand's solid construction, and believe that each piece is made to last a long time.
Founded in 2016, this millennial-friendly home brand is now one of the bestselling online furniture retailers. Count Men's Health editors as one of many happy customers.

We also love its new line of bedroom furnishings.

One of our favorite menswear brands, Ralph Lauren also creates bespoke, All-Americana furniture that will never go out of style. "When designing for a bachelor, this is one of the first places I go to," says Chicago-based designer Suzanne Falk. "I love their broken-in leather sofas."
Looking beyond simple, modular designs? Anthropologie has you covered with its boho-inspired furnishings that bring an earthy, rustic vibe to any room (without looking out of place). We especially like its IG-worthy accent chairs that make for conversation starters among guests. Sure, Anthropologie is a bit pricier than direct-to-consumer brands, but we'd say it's worth the investment.

Your go-to for splurge-worthy office furniture. Artifox was dreamed up by an interior and designer and architect, which means each piece is technically made and loaded with style.

Great for Industrial homes, BDI has a wide selection of sleek and modern furnishings. "They really hit the trifecta of design, durability, and functionality," Garcia says. We especially love their sturdy media consoles that are optimized for acoustics and offer plenty of storage. They're the perfect stand for your home theater.
This outdoor furniture brand has been popping up on TikTok feeds, and it's not hard to see why. Fans love its modular design that looks dope in anyone's backyard. We found that its wicker outdoor sofa is as sturdy as it is stylish, and can hold up to rain, sleet, and snow during shoulder seasons.
One of the oldest brands on our list, Vaughan-Bassett offers big, sturdy, farmhouse-style furniture that will last a lifetime. Vaughan-Bassett's cabinets are made with real wood (rare these days) and its bed frames hold up after years of use.
Most platform bed frames require tons of tools and assembly. Not so with with Thuma, which you've probably seen on Instagram. Its platform bed can be put together with your bare hands in less than 15 minutes. Plus, it's sustainably made with recycled rubberwood. "It's high enough off the ground to provide plenty of storage underneath, while still maintaining a low profile," says contractor Thomas Vibe. "It's a beautiful piece of furniture."

A favorite brand of Snoop Dog's (yes, really), Kardiel makes mid-century modern pieces that happen to look amazing, and you don't need a platinum-selling-rapper's bank account to afford it. Most pieces are made with real wool, incredibly durable and easy to assemble. While Kardiel is mostly known for its living room furniture, we happen to love its dining pieces, particularly its stylish benches and buffets that look purpose built for grown men who like to host dinner parties.

Sabai's direct-to-order wares are sustainably sourced from natural fibers and recycled water bottles (yes, really). And while reviewers found that its sofas usually give in a bit a few years of use, Sabai offers affordable replacement options for its cushions.

Mid-century modern furniture can look a little redundant, but Blu Dot keeps its pieces fresh with unexpected colors and patterns. "Blu Dot is in a league of its own," says designer Megan Hoop. "The quality of the pieces of themselves meet an incredibly high standard. Everything from the comfort of an armchair to the perfect walnut stain, Blue Dot gets it just right."
If you're looking for the ultimate backyard furniture upgrade, look no further than Modloft. Sure, the Miami label makes plenty of gorgeous, modern end tables, desks, and sofas, but its luxe outdoor sofas are some of the best-looking patio furnishings we've seen.
