The Modular Product & System Database

After testing all three smart lighting systems, one clear winner emerged for most homes. But the right choice depends on something most reviews ignore.

I spent $3,400 on a Herman Miller setup and my back still hurt. After months of testing, a $1,200 desk I'd never heard of actually beat it.

Got denied boarding over half an inch once. After testing 7 modular travel packs, one budget option surprised me more than the $300 competitors.

Tested 3 budget-friendly Vitsoe 606 alternatives with real load protocols. One system's tolerances actually beat Vitsoe's, and it costs half as much.

I tested 12 modular bed frames with calipers and stress tests. The Zinus at $300 surprised me, but one budget pick matched Floyd's actual joint tolerances.

I spent 3 months testing USM Haller alternatives with calipers and spreadsheets. Turns out, you're paying 35% for brand equity alone.

Can't get Fairphone shipped to the US? I tested the alternatives. One costs $199, ships domestically, and is genuinely repairable without special tools.

I tested cedar vs. steel potting benches like I'd test tech stacks. After 18 months in a humid greenhouse, here's what actually held up.

After 4 rebuilds and years of kitchen design experience, I found the 3-zone modular desk framework that actually grows with your streaming setup.

After 3 weeks testing shelving in my 24-inch laundry closet, one approach actually stuck: modular systems that work like code. Here's my full setup.

After testing 4 wall-mounted cat systems, Catastrophic Creations won. But only if you skip plastic anchors. Here's why toggle bolts matter for 15+ lb cats.

After ruining records on my Kallax, I tested every turntable stand that fits a 480 sq ft apartment. The winner costs less than you'd think.
