Price range for retail seems to be $100-250 for IKEA stuff that will fall apart in 3 years, or $1,000+ for something better. Is there nothing in between? Would prefer to buy new with risk of bed bugs or other contaminants but open to other options if I’m missing something.
Thrift stores like goodwill in the nicer part of towns. You wont always find something good or something that matches your room. But you can find a lot of well kept furniture and clothes for cheap. People who are more well off tend to donate the things they replace in order to get receipt for tax right offs. Ive never personaly gotten furniture at one, but i know friends and family who have. The biggest thing i got was a full set of travel bags 3 good size good brand for 60 dollars. Ive had them for over ten years and they’re still in good shape. The other great deal i know of was when my aunt got a beautiful comfy sectional for 200. Had to make three separate trips to move all the pieces but it worked out fine. Just took like 5 hours.
