With the month capping off on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, November is the best time of year to find big-ticket items like furniture at massive discounts. While furniture is one of the priciest items you can buy for your home, the pieces themselves are not always the biggest. Sometimes, the smaller the better, and when it comes to saving space, more streamlined pieces of furniture with multipurpose use are a strategic way to make the most out of tight corners. Plus, it means more room for holiday decor, like artificial Christmas trees, which are already marked down ahead of Black Friday.

For the best space-saving furniture items, we searched early Black Friday deals and found ten clever items marked down up to 69 percent off from Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Wayfair. Save money on furniture that will enhance your living space while giving you the flexibility you need, like smart sleeper futons and clip-on tables—on sale with prices starting at only $25.

There's nothing like a fireplace to turn a living room into a welcoming space. But a cozy mantle is hard to find in many homes and apartments. So bringing one in as part of a media console is a construction-free solution. The 63-inch-long console has customizable lighted open shelving on either side with seven color options. The fireplace will heat your living room with a degree range of 62 to 92 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring that you stay comfortable and cozy no matter the weather outside. All customizations are easy to control with the stand’s two remotes.

An extra sleeping space is always appreciated, and in smaller spaces, large furniture pieces are best when they pull double-duty. A sleeper sofa is the quintessential multi-use furniture item, as it can transform living spaces into a bonus bedroom when needed. However, this traditional sofa takes it a step further and also functions as a charging station with two outlets and two USB ports. The loveseat provides seating space for two, sleeping space for two, and charges two phones.

Woven Paths Lancaster Wood Kitchen Pantry

$349

$130

Pantries are a rarity in smaller spaces. But having enough kitchen storage is a problem many cooks, whether pros or novices, have. Instead of spending money on a kitchen reno, this pantry—on sale for $130—gets the job done at a fraction of the cost. The two-drawer freestanding unit includes one center shelf and two adjustable shelves for easy customization. While great in a kitchen, the 71.3-inch-tall pantry works well in any part of the house that could use extra storage, such as bathrooms and laundry rooms.

Target

$185

$130

Seating and storage space are two things a home can never have too much of. This Threshold with Studio McGee long bench combines the two and wraps it in a ticking striped fabric. The upholstered bench is 38 inches by 18.9 inches by 19.5 inches, so it can seat two and hold plenty of blankets, pillows, or more. The upholstered top lifts on a hinge, so it’s easy to access what’s stored inside.

Christopher Knight Home Darlah Firwood Table

Target

$32

$25

If you're on the hunt for furniture pieces that maximize space, this smartly designed side table does the trick. The minimal C-shaped table slides under couches or chairs, and its tabletop hangs over for easy access while relaxing. The sleek iron frame and fir tabletop will complement many living spaces. However, the table’s body can tuck away under furniture, so only the tabletop is visible.

Brij Upholstered Wingback Storage Bed

<p>Wayfair</p>

Wayfair

$800

$247

The underside of the bed is often wasted space. Sure, you can haphazardly shove rogue pieces of workout equipment and small boxes of odds and ends underneath, but it's not an efficient use of space and a great way to lose track of what’s stored away. This tufted wingback bed has all the style of an elegant large piece of furniture and the storage space of a dresser. Four fabric-covered slide-out drawers maximize the otherwise unused floor space under the regal bed. Purchase the frame in Full, Queen, or King sizes.

Kelly Clarkson Home Parker Upholstered Storage Ottoman

<p>Wayfair</p>

Wayfair

$200

$137

While it might not be good etiquette to prop your feet on the coffee table, they’re at the perfect location for reclining while watching television. An oversized ottoman is a socially acceptable piece of furniture to kick your feet back in and functions as a coffee table. The tufted round Kelly Clarkson Home ottoman is an ingenious way to store bulky living room essentials like blankets and pillows with its 28-inch deep storage space.

Sand and Stable Holtby Freestanding Bathroom Cabinet

<p>Wayfair</p>

Wayfair

$87

$58

Bathrooms tend to be limited in storage space and benefit from having a few extra drawers. With their tight layouts and multiple appliances, it can be tricky to find a spot for added storage—that’s why it’s best to go vertical. The 32.3-inch tall cabinet takes up less than a square foot of floor space (11.2 inches by 10.4 inches) and has four deep cabinets that house hair care products, toiletries, and even towels.

Wlive Wood Lift Top Coffee Table

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

$130

$90

A coffee table with storage is already pulling multi-purpose duty in a home, but a table with storage that also lifts? It’ll be the most used piece of furniture in a living room. The mid-century modern rectangular table has two rows of open shelving as well as a deep storage compartment under the extendable tabletop. Perfect for eating a meal in front of the TV or working from home, the workbench allows you to sit upright on the couch.

Sinwant Bamboo Sofa Clip-On Side Table

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

$50

$24

Amazon’s best-selling sofa table doesn’t even have legs. The bamboo clip-on table secures to the armrests, making it the ultimate space-saving hack. With this clever item, no additional furniture is required for tight living spaces to enjoy a side table. It contours to any couch arm, no matter the shape, and is a secure spot to place your remote, drink, or laptop. The table includes a grooved bracket that holds a phone or tablet upright—perfect for hands-free scrolling.
