The Modular Product & System Database

After killing 3 trays of seedlings, I built a $75 grow light stand that actually works. Here's the exact parts list and step-by-step assembly.

I wasted $340 on a flimsy "professional" grow light setup. Here's how I built something better for $75 that actually adapts as your seedlings grow.

I spent 3 hours moving the same sofa around my studio. Now I scan rooms with LiDAR and test furniture in AR before buying anything. Here's my workflow.

I bought 8 "modular" standing desks and tore them apart. Most brands stretch that word until it's meaningless. Only 3 actually let you swap accessories.

We tested 5 budget ghost chairs under $100 in a real Airbnb for 2 years. Only one held up like the $365 Kartell. Here's what to look for before you buy.

Elfa's prices had me questioning everything. After 3 weeks of spec-by-spec analysis, one budget system actually outperformed it on load capacity.

After testing 7 speakers across 4 rooms, one budget option matched Sonos quality at a fraction of the cost. My teens helped pick the winner.

I tested 23 tactical backpacks after my nephew asked about GORUCK. Turns out you can get the same durability for less, but only from 3 brands.

I scored wire shelving systems like tech products, tracking weight capacity, modularity, and expansion costs. IKEA Boaxel beat String at a fraction of the price.

Framework gets all the hype, but after 6 years of repairs, my pick is still the T480. Here's what actually holds up when you're the one opening it.

I ran the numbers on convertible cribs vs traditional nursery sets. The 15-year cost difference? About $2,400. Here's the math that convinced my sister.

After 6 months testing 12 backpacks, most failed the hybrid work test. The winner? A modular system that killed my need for duplicate chargers.
