    Sturdy + Stylish

    Texas artisans unveil 2 new mod furniture lines that are built to last

    The Austin-based furniture maker Rectanglo.com is about to make your home a lot more stylish — and durable — with the launch of its Villa and Casa lines.

    These sleek, modern tables, benches, and chairs are built to order in a variety of sizes and dimensions, from standard to specialty and all without a surcharge. Better yet, they can be ordered online for free delivery upon fabrication and assembly in Austin.

    With slats made of fine red and white Douglas fir and finished with multiple coats of pure tung oil and limonene, the pieces are some of the strongest and most weather-resistant on the market.

    The indoor-outdoor Villa line features a galvanized steel frame and with legs welded to it, and is suitable for marine and saltwater exposed locations.

    Villa table legs having a combined axial load rating of 100 tons, while the bench legs can support 40 tons and the chair legs, 20 tons. The chairs' ergonomic backrest is stylish yet comfortable, and the square seat shape is compatible with most cushions.

    Designed for indoor or covered patio use, the Casa pieces sport solid-wood leg posts and a patent-pending anodized aluminum frame design. You can choose from either the square slats or the tall slats for a more refined appearance.

    All Villa and Casa items only use no-load stainless steel fasteners for superior safety, are non-allergenic, and use only plant-based wood finishes. Rectanglo.com proudly designs, fabricates, and assembles all items in Austin. Right now, order any Villa or Casa table and get a free matching bench sized to the table width.

    Villa pieces are very weather-resistant.

    RETAIL WATCH

    Chinese retailer Miniso opens new store in Grand Prairie

    Miniso offers row after row of cute goods, like these Zootopia plushies.

    A variety store chain founded in China has debuted in Grand Prairie: Miniso, known for its pop culture goods sold at bargain prices, has opened a shop at at 5240 S SH 360 #3000 in Lake Prairie Town Crossing, on the southeast corner of Camp Wisdom Road.

    According to GPTX, they debuted in mid-November in the space previously occupied by Rue 21, the teen clothing retail chain that went bankrupt and shut down all locations in 2024.

    Miniso first debuted in Guangzhou, China, in 2013 and has quickly spread across the globe. They sell cosmetics, stationery, kitchenware, plush toys, beauty items, key chains, electronics, fragrance, collectibles, lip tints, anime figures, just all kinds of cheap plastic disposable impulse-buy crap, plus a small food section with instant noodles and Lays potato chips in Asian flavors.

    At first glance, they resemble Daiso, the similar-seeming Japanese chain, with some claiming that they're deliberately trying to appear to be Japanese.

    Miniso is best known for its collaborations with franchises such as Hello Kitty, Disney, Barbie, Harry Potter, and My Little Pony, in products such as costume jewelry, travel mugs, and flip-flops.

    Miniso also makes its own house brand, in plushies shaped like chicken legs, capybaras, and broccoli.

    The stores boast themed zones and promote a relaxing, treasure-hunting and engaging shopping experience with "delightful surprises" that appeals to all demographics.

    There are currently 40 locations in Texas, including seven in the DFW area, nearly all in malls: Fort Worth, Burleson, Hurst, Arlington, Euless, Grapevine, and at the H-Mart center in Plano. Grand Prairie makes it eight.
