Storage furniture is too often drab and functional, intended to blend into the background of your home. Mustard Made is an exception. The company’s storage lockers come in a variety of loud colors that announce themselves in a room.
Mustard Made makes some of our favorite storage solutions here on the WIRED Reviews team, especially when it comes to outfitting our overflowing home offices. Julian Chokkattu from the WIRED Gear team takes Zoom meetings from a space full of high-end office chairs and brand-new gadgets, and yet my residual image of his home office will always be the stylish yellow Mustard Made lockers behind him. My colleague Louryn Strampe gave the brand’s smaller dual-shelf low-down locker an 8/10 review.
Mustard Made is having a rare sale from today through the end of May, with 20 percent off eight colors from its collection. Among the sale colors is that yellow favored by Julian, a really soft and lovely sage, a noble navy blue, and a medium pink they call “berry,” shown below. (Unfortunately, the vibrant poppy color I like and just introduced into my bedroom is not on sale.)
Mustard Made only runs a handful of sales a year, and you probably won’t see a 20 percent discount again until Black Friday.
I am testing the Midi, a midsized locker that sits almost the same height as my dresser and comes with adjustable shelves and locking doors. Transparently, I have long been a fan of locker-style storage furniture and have had an actual gym locker, a row of three of the now-discontinued tall version of the Ikea PS cabinet, and a current Ikea PS cabinet that used to hold my TV and now holds a 3D printer. There’s no question that the Mustard Made Midi is the prettiest of the lot.
