What R29’s Shopping Team Is Buying On Sale For Way Day

If you can believe it, Wayfair's already (and seemingly always) marked-down stock just got slashed even further in what's come to be known as the massive home e-tailer's biggest sale of the year. We are, of course, talking about Way Day — an honorary holiday for us writers and editors here on R29's Shopping team — where deal-seekers can happily snag up to 80% off discounts on everything from furniture to decor and kitchenware. In addition to giving you readers the good scoop on which sale buys to cart (this rug, that outdoor patio set), we're also dishing on the Way Day scores we added to our very own carts.

Ahead, peep our personal favorite Wayfair steals including, but not limited to: an excellent bamboo shoe rack, a design-forward dresser, an aesthetically pleasing rug, a sharp (in both senses of the word) knife block, etc. Here's hoping our Way Day hidden gems put you on the right path to shopping the annual sale holiday like a total pro.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission. 

Zwilling J.A. Henckels Four Star Anniversary 8-piece Knife Block Set


"A good knife is hard to find [at an affordable price point]. But — as someone who's big into home-cooking and who recently moved into a new house — investing in a proper set is worthwhile (those potatoes aren't going to slice themselves!). Enter: this insanely discounted Zwilling J.A. Henckels 8-piece block that's waiting patiently inside my Wayfair cart as I type. While, yes, it's still a pricey purchase, this culinary classic breaks down to around $25 a precision-forged-steel piece — which, in my shopping book, is a deal." – Elizabeth Buxton, Editor

Beachcrest Home Selkirk Solid Wood Adirondack Chair


"I plan to spend summer 2021 on my porch — so you could say I was more than thrilled to unearth this major flash deal on a solid-wood Adirondack chair. If you need me, I'll be sitting in this 65%-off beauty with an ice-cold glass of Lipton iced tea in hand." – Elizabeth

Williston Forge Tidworth Bowl Cast Iron Wood Burning Fire Pit


"Speaking of spending time outside: I missed the fire-pit boat last summer and am incredibly stoked to light up my own inside this under-$100 score. It looks fairly minimal (fire pits can be so ugly and clunky) and has pretty favorable reviews!" – Elizabeth

Wayfair Sleep Encased Cooling Shredded Memory Foam Plush Support Pillow


"I am finally pulling the purchase trigger on this famously top-bought Wayfair pillow with a staggering amount of positive reviews (over 10,000 5-star ones to be exact) in order to find out once and for all, IRL, if it actually delivers on its cooling memory foam promise — all for the 78%-off price of a mere $22. Stay tuned." – Elizabeth

Foundstone Diego Ladder Desk


"What did we do before ladder desks? These streamlined, small-space-savvy creations are WFH saviors — doubling as both a workspace and tiny library for cataloging all your stuff. Having previously owned one that was destroyed in a recent move (RIP), I am now in the market for replacing it. And, this 41%-off Way Day flash deal is just what the doctor ordered." – Elizabeth

Mistana Izabella End Table


"I’m not sure if my style is totally changing or if I’m just really missing Southern California and the beach, but I’ve been really drawn to this woven material lately. This little side table is kind of sweet, right? And I think it would add some nice texture to my otherwise pretty basic living room." — Kate Spencer, Creative & Updates Editor

Le Creuset Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven


"I’ve been trying to slowly up my kitchen and cookware game and Le Creuset is a classic. I don’t have a dutch oven and I feel like it’s a cooking staple, plus this orange is just too cute." – Kate

AllModern Arnette Linen Euro Sham


"My picks are making me sound elderly, but after my cookware upgrade, I’m planning to make my bed feel like a hotel — partly because I have terrible sleeping habits and partly because my bedroom is really lacking in any design attention. These linen euro shams are reasonably priced and have awesome reviews and paired with these pillows, will be just the little upgrade my sleeping situation needs." – Kate

Rebrilliant 3 Tier 12 Pair Shoe Rack


"I own a lot of shoes. In truth, probably too many — but that's a story for another day. Anyway, small NYC apartments aren't the most conducive to my voracious shoe appetite, but that's where this cute rack comes in. In addition to holding 12 pairs (if not more, since I wear a size 5), I'm majorly into the vaguely Scandi/Japandi vibes of the rounded edges and natural wood finish." — Karina Hoshikawa, Beauty & Wellness Writer

Glass Warehouse Modern Full Length Mirror


"I've been fantasizing about upgrading my mirror game for some time now, and I swear my heart skipped a beat when I found this stunner. I love the thin, matte brass frame and the soft rectangular shape — it sort of looks like a giant iPhone. I'm praying to the Wayfair deities that it's marked down for Way Day since $400 is a lot for me to spend on a mirror, but if not, I might spring for this similar, more wallet-friendly style." — Karina

Rubbermaid Configurations 26"W Shelf


"Emily Ruane here, coming to you live with the most boring-useful Way Day pick in Wayfair’s entire inventory: these Rubbermaid customizable shelves. I’m in major spring organizing mode and on a mission to turn my husband’s charmingly cluttered office into a streamlined oasis of productivity, and I’m buying up components of this closet system in multiples. They’re easy enough for a DIY dingus like me to install — you simply attach the upright tracks to the wall and customize them with the seemingly endless options that Rubbermaid offers. I’m opting for these standard shelves, but you can get closet rods, drawers, angled shoe racks — you name it! There’s a reason these bad boys have been a favorite of suburban housewives FOREVER." — Emily Ruane, Fashion Writer

Upper Square Albin Height Adjustable Standing Desk


"Guys, I'm gonna do it: I'm finally going to level up my WFH setup and invest in a standing desk. I'm done with my Apple Watch dragging me to filth for not clocking enough stand hours, and with some creative rearranging, I might even be able to position my apartment-friendly treadmill underneath to clock in extra steps during Zoom meetings." — Karina

Hashtag Home Alviso 6 Drawer Double Dresser


"I’ve been eyeing this colorful dresser for my toddler’s bedroom room, and simply haven’t pulled the trigger because I can’t decide whether I want yellow, blue, or red accents! Help?" — Emily

Mistana Kailee Kitchen Island with Butcher Block Top


"I’m lucky to have a generously-sized kitchen in my NYC apartment, but we’re also a family of three that cooks a LOT, so every piece of furniture in the room needs to multitask. We don’t have a lot of counter space, so I’ve got my eye on this standing-height table that will accommodate barstool seating and provide us with both much-needed room for food prep, along with some drawers for stashing utensils." — Emily

17 Stories Wall Mounted Bathroom Cabinet


"Last but not least is our shelving-starved bathroom — aside from a medicine cabinet, there’s hardly any storage in the room. There’s an awkward, horizontally-oriented space above the door that is crying out to be put to good use, and of course, I found just the right piece among Wayfair’s endless selection of floating furniture." — Emily

Hashtag Home Cutshall Rolled Arms Loveseat


"At the moment, I’m trying to furnish my new apartment in the most affordable way possible, which means, I’m buying one main piece of furniture a month. Since Way Day popped up out of nowhere and has some of the best sales of the year, I decided that for April I’ll go for this new loveseat. I need something small and cute that I can flop on for naps instead of getting in the bed, and this heather grey sofa is calling my name. I’m tempted to go for the yellow for a risky pop of color, but either way, I can’t wait to buy. " — Alexandra Polk, Associate Lifestyle Writer

Corrigan Studio Brister Wide Swivel Armchair


"I’m not sure if it’s just mere exposure effect or if this is just a really appealing piece of furniture, but I’ve thrown this office chair into so many round-ups and crossed paths with it via the internet so many times that now I want one for myself. It looks like the perfect size and seems super comfy without sacrificing design — I need an office chair for the desk in my bedroom and if it’s too clunky or ugly it’ll probably keep me up at night. Also, the reviews are off the charts and now that it’s going on sale…I might have to make a purchase." — Alexandra

Trumpet Shaped 6 Piece 20 oz. Acrylic Glassware Set


"I have purchased and own everything I chose to include in this roundup — and I vouch for the quality of all after personal use. First, can we talk about how great these faux glass cups are? They look like a distant cousin from the gorgeous Sophie Lou wavy cups taking over my Instagram feed. I bought this set of acrylic glasses to use outside because I'm very much looking forward to hosting family in my backyard this summer. I can't wait to serve up some refreshments in these wavy cup BBs." — Marissa Rosenblum, Shopping Director

Kaia Upholstered Panel Headboard


"So... kind of sketch, but I'm fine with it — seems like this headboard I bought has been repackaged as a teen brand? It's definitely the exact headboard I purchased for my bedroom under a different Wayfair brand. Despite the rebranding (which I'm not mad at, I'm sort of a teen at heart), this piece of furniture is great quality, was a cinch to attach to my bed, and looks handsome in my room especially with one of my kitties perched on it (yes I am baiting you to peep my cat sitting on this headboard.) The fabric is not cheap looking at all despite its very affordable price." — Marissa

Handwoven Jute/Sisal Natural Area Rug


"At some point in your life, you'll probably search for a good natural rug. As was the case when I needed a runner for my kitchen as the floor is freezing in the winter. I like the look of this neutral style and there are too many on offer on the world wide web. After spending days looking on Facebook Marketplace, Amazon, Bed Bath, eBay, and Wayfair, I settled on this one. Honestly, they all sort of look the same so it came down to price and quality for me. This one delivers on its promise for a nice natural look, a careful handwoven weave, and has not unraveled at all in the 6 months I've had it so far. If I needed another size, I'd go back to this brand since it's offered in 33 (!) sizes." — Marissa

Highland Dunes Handwoven Jute/Sisal Natural Area Rug, $, available at Wayfair

Rope Textured 2 Piece 100% Cotton Beach Towel Set


"If you need a new set of beach towels and you're looking for something thicc, this might be your set. These towels have a raised rope pile design within the stripe pattern and are heavy and absorbent. Amazing price for a set of two as they're great for lounging on and drying off with. If you squint and turn your head sideways, I think they give off a Missoni-esque vibe that's appealing to me." — Marissa

Inglewood Rope Textured 100% Cotton Beach Towel Set (Set of 2), $, available at Wayfair

Corrigan Studio Checkered Black/White Indoor / Outdoor Area Rug


"I’m still obsessed with checkerboard print, so this rug really stood out to me. I’ll be moving in the next few months, but I can see this going in my kitchen or balcony! Bonus: it’s indoor and outdoor-friendly." — Chichi Offor, Affiliate Associate Writer
