The designers take a field trip to a storage facility where one-by-one they pick storage pods filled with different household items that they must build furniture to contain. Most of the designers are happy with their items, but a twist sends one designer back to the drawing board. Back at the workshop, Ellen shows the designers one of her favorite pieces of furniture, Carley struggles to decide on a design, and Katie has a setback with one of the tools that shreds an important part of her piece. At the judging ceremony, Amanda and Christiane are joined by interior designer to the stars, Cliff Fong, who helps them judge the furniture and make the tough decision to send another designer home.
