Chairside Table by Broyhill IF YOU’RE SEARCHING for a little extra closed storage space in your living room, family room, office, den or even an entryway, the Chairside Table by Broyhill is the perfect spot to house remotes, magazines, coasters, movies, video games, blankets or throws. I really like this item because of its functionality. Measuring 14 inches wide, 22 inches deep and 23 inches tall, this sturdy side table is the right height to use as a small work surface or to display décor next to a sectional, sofa, loveseat, chair or bed. Best of all, it features a double power outlet and two USB ports, which are located on the back, allowing you to use 100 percent of the tabletop. Enhanced with pine veneers in a handsome distressed dark brown finish, the table features an adjustable shelf behind a solid wood-framed hinged door with tempered glass. This table comes fully assembled, saving you time and effort. Item #1074780. Available in the warehouse only. —Jonathan Lifvendahl
Bayside Furnishings Sliding-Door Bookcase SOME PEOPLE LIKE their books out in the open; some like them closed to the elements. I love the look and versatility of enclosed bookcases. They look good in an office, living room, dining room or even a kitchen, and can be used to hold useful items, tableware, games, tools or art as well as books. Bonus: Less dusting is needed. I am particularly excited to be offering the Bayside Furnishings slidingdoor bookcase, currently available in all Costco warehouses. It’s a sturdy, solid piece of furniture, made of rubber wood and poplar, with birch veneers. A similar item offered elsewhere—which you may have to put together yourself—would likely not have the heft of this quality piece. This bookcase comes fully assembled, with a bit of flexibility. There are three shelves: The bottom shelf is fixed, but the top two shelves are adjustable. And the value of this piece is extraordinary: Costco offers it for up to 50 percent less than you’d pay elsewhere. The piece measures 47.7 inches wide by 68 inches high by 15.7 inches deep. With the packaging, it weighs about 220 pounds, so you’ll want to bring a truck or large van to get it, along with a strong friend or two. Item #731833. Available in the warehouse only.—Casey Mangold
6-Piece Modular Sectional WHEN IT COMES to furnishings, there is really no “one size fits all.” Every home is unique in its dimensions and space. Additionally, furniture needs to be able to accommodate a changing environment, whether you are hosting a football party, a birthday party for youngsters or family movie night. This modular sectional is a designer’s dream, as the six pieces (three armless chairs, two corner wedge chairs and one ottoman, plus two throw pillows) can be arranged in countless configurations to suit most room sizes and décors. Connectors hold each section securely together, or the sections can be used as freestanding pieces. The sectional features eight-way hand-tied coil springs under each cushion to provide great durability and help maintain cushion shape. Durable and stylish, this sectional is remarkably comfortable, with extra-thick, luxuriously padded seats and backs. The wood frame construction is braced with corner blocks for stability and strength. The finished hardwood feet complement and accent the rich, soft fabric. This sectional will be your family’s favorite spot to gather in your home for years to come. Item #1074699. Available in the warehouse only.—Danielle Lozeau JANUARY 2017 The Costco Connection 95
