Crate Expectations

In the series premiere of Ellen's Design Challenge, 6 furniture designers from all over America arrive at a workshop where they meet their carpenters and receive a gift from Ellen that they must transform into their first piece of furniture. During the build tensions run high between one of the designers and her carpenter while another designer struggles to fix a structural flaw before time runs out. Series judges, Christiane Lemieux and Amanda Dameron are joined by world renowned furniture manufacturer, Jason Chauncey as they critique the designers' creations and decide who will be the first one to go home.

Contain Your Enthusiasm

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.
