After sending two daughters off to college and helping set up more dorm rooms and apartments than I care to count, I’ve learned that this is one category where buying the cheapest option is usually the most expensive. You don’t need to indulge in everything, but there are certain items that are worth the investment because they last, perform better, and survive move after move. Below are the products I’ve been happiest with over the years and I’d buy again without hesitation. And don’t stress yourself out putting together furniture or trying to move this and that. It always pays to hire a Taskrabbit.
