When you’re a small-apartment renter, it can be easy to repeatedly buy low-quality furniture and ditch it for new pieces every time you move. But as someone who’s been there and done that, I’d suggest doing the opposite. After all, the money you spend having to upgrade poorly made couches and bed frames will eventually exceed all moving fees. For big-ticket items that are both compact and made of quality materials, you’ll want to head to Pottery Barn. The retailer’s furniture pieces usually come in multiple sizes, meaning you can customize just about any accent chair, bed frame, or sofa to your home. And right now, you can do so for less! That’s because Pottery Barn is hosting a huge Fourth of July sale now through July 7, with discounts of up to 60% on hundreds of items. Below, you’ll find our top picks, from a handmade editor-tested rug to a brilliant bathroom storage solution. Don’t miss out on these deals!

Union Sofa
$1,099

The Union sofa is 10 percent off in a wide variety of upholstery fabrics, meaning you can score it for a couple hundred dollars off. That’s not a bad deal for a couch with a delightfully small footprint and cushy spring seats. We also adore the Union’s streamlined silhouette, which looks at once modern and relaxed.
