- Real fit: dimensions, door openings, pipe gaps, counter depth, and storage height.
- Useful after the first week: products should solve a repeatable task, not just look tidy in a photo.
- Seller confidence: recent reviews, real-life photos, shipping method, and clear variant options.

Only tools used daily or nearly daily belong there.
