Critique these photos—How can they be better?

Please help me get better


I am trying to improve my photography skills for future furniture shots. What would you do here to improve these two objects? Whether it is camera settings, external equipment or the angle of the shot.

I will be creating and selling furniture. My target buyer will most likely be a higher end buyer who expects to see quality in all areas. Therefore, the product photography that I share, I want to scream high end.

I have dabbled a bit in photography, but would still consider myself a beginner. I own a Canon 80D.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Very neat. Please leave a space every after photo.

Play with more angles. Make sure if you are using the ladder as the subject to not cut its legs.

The lighting needs to be better. Helps to accentuate the subject.
The first two photos: shop out the wall vent and that thing above the shelf. And the cable behind the shelf.
Don't crop away your subject.
Photos lack sharpness.
Edit to bring out highlights and add some warmth to the photos.

I would shoot it against a blank wall, straight on without any distractions like vents, corners and staircases. All eye on only the furniture.

It seems you used natural light only. With white walls and roof you can play around with bouncing an on-camera flash if you do not have equipment to take the flash off-camera.
Be very choosy with displays. The ladder shelving has too many of one type of plant in all different pots. I like the all white display on the phone table. 

Keep your lines parallel to the edge of the frame, not like the floor/wall line in images 2,4 and 5. The skirting board in image 6 looks good, perfectly horisontal.
