Without furniture, homes would feel empty on the inside and be forced to boost their self-esteem by wearing provocative siding and bullying smaller homes. Protect fragile domestic egos with today's Groupon: for $50, you get $150 toward home furnishings, including sale items, at Zing. Same-day delivery is available for an average charge of $95.

Boasting an impressive array of closeout products with its 24,000-square-foot showroom, Zing artfully outfits homes with designer furniture and game-room accouterments. As tables by Tempo, Largo, and Hillsdale conjure up dinner-party fantasies, recliners invite bodies to unwind like wayward egg timers. Shoppers can wrangle leather softy sofas ($399) from the showroom, using them to draw Sahara queen-size sleigh beds ($1,259) toward dream-granting Sandmen. Basements become playgrounds with the addition of a shuffleboard ($1,489) or swiveling Brazilia barstools ($216.30 each). Pelican tables ($41) can be matched with lamps ($39+) and a variety of plants ($49 to $399) to reenact favorite childhood business meetings. Malaga aluminum patio sets ($399) attract royalty with high-backed chairs and a finish that resists rust, wear, and invading serfs.
