This former catalog-only home furnishings outfit has become a  
              one-stop shop for sleek and trendy furnishings. With upholstered 
              modular seating that starts at $199 per piece, stained wood coffee 
              tables for under $200, and jute boucle rugs that are $19 and up, 
              it's perfect for the hip urbanite on a budget (and a favorite of 
              the Queer Eye's Fab Five). For under $300, you can turn your 
              bathroom into an oasis straight from the pages of Elle Décor complete 
              with linen shower curtain ($39), embroidered towels ($20), and chic, 
              glass-doored cabinets ($169). A flat-rate delivery charge of $65 
              to the five boroughs sweetens the deal.
