- Its ratings separate function, feel, upkeep, and fit around the house; the site lists 1871 Hayes Street as the shop address.
Field notes
The homepage divides its 21 listed items among Everyday, Kitchen, Home, Desk, Power, and Yard. Ben says he researches categories and tests products at home, work, and elsewhere before scoring them on function, feel, upkeep, and fit around the house. The site lists 1871 Hayes Street and says prices will appear on tags after the shop opens; for now, product pages link to the same product.
