Beds & Mattresses in Englewood, CO

> durable yet inexpensive but not from > thrift/resale shops This seems a contradiction in terms. Quality furniture never comes cheap that I have ever seen or heard of if you don't want to do garage sales or thrift stores.

Thrift stores, estate sales, etc.... That's it. Just gotta hit them up week after week until you find the right pieces. Maybe start with basic furnishings that'll get you going and upgrade and adjust over time.

I’d shop for some brand name used furniture.

Most Airbnbs I've stayed in used Ikea for furniture.

I’ve had good luck with Value City Furniture (mid-Atlantic), decent quality, some modern looks, and the right price. I also like IKEA at their mid-tier and above. As others have mentioned, Target is great for accessories and simple furnishings. Also, think outside the box, for example, Home Depot has a furnishings line called Home Decorators that OC as has great clearance deals. Finally, try Amazon warehouse. I’ve bought two very nice pieces for almost 60% off that had nothing wrong except the box was a little fucked up. It takes some persistence but I still see good furniture deals there from time to time.

You can try Facebook marketplace. You’ll have to do a lot of running around however but for mattresses I would buy new and there are many sources out there. Costco has great affordable and easy to wash sheets and towels. And toilet paper. TJ Maxx is great for kitchen supplies. Other than coffee mugs I supply nice high-end plastic plates and cups. That I find a TJ Maxx. For a really reduced price. Trader Joe’s has great soaps and shampoos and other cleaning supplies that are really reasonable. And naturally derived. It’s important not to put crazy chemical detergents as many people have allergies. Costco is also great for televisions and other kitchen supplies such as toaster oven‘s or microwaves.

I’m seconding Wayfair here. Use that almost exclusively to furnish and decorate our corporate lofts and common areas.

Salvation Army Look for the 50% off days Crazy value and they deep clean and sanitize all furniture before selling

I found in online stores most of the furniture pieces that I bought when I moved into the married apartment I currently live in, after an arduous search. For me, it was more comfortable that way because I don't have much time to visit stores in person, and then, the pandemic began which forced me to spend more time at home. It was then that, from my computer, I was able to review the online catalogs and what other buyers were thinking about the products. I stuck to the replicas of famous Mid-Century Modern Style designs. I bought an Eames Lounge Chair, an Arco lamp, a Tulip table, a Napa sofa, and a few other basic items. Most of these pieces were found in modern furniture stores, such as Manhattan Home Design and Barcelona Designs.

The furniture section on FB marketplace has lots of great finds. It’s used but not junky. People are going to use and abuse the furniture. IMO other than mattresses, new furniture is a waste of $.

There is a furniture rental company called Nickson Living out of Dallas that rents ALL furnishings down to artwork, silverware etc. They are super awesome. I pay just $300 a month to fully furnished an 800 sq ft 1/1. You are just renting the items so better suited for a shorter term situation. Anyway, I highly recommend them to anyone in texas. Assuming they have similar companies elsewhere

I buy from Wayfair a lot and use the “for commercial use” when shopping. You can also look up weight limits of furniture pieces. My home is in US and there are a lot of fatties here so we need substantial furniture to support that.

IKEA

Wayfair is the best!

Here’s the best answer, I should get all the upvote. In Google maps search for used furniture, drive from place to place. Eventually you’ll find. Ideally you want a furniture rental place that has a used sales outlet. Good luck! I’ve checked all.

Surely it depends which country/area you live in..... international forum alert

Estate sales to get the cheapest but also most durable. If you want new there are furniture wholesalers. Depending on where you live they typically operate out of industrial type areas. They get the same stuff as Ashley, living spaces etc and sell it much cheaper.

I like Article online. Wayfair has some nice things including a twin size bed that unfolds from an oversized chair that I love. A long term tenant has some nice, clean-lined furniture that was shipped from Target. I have a mix of original mid-century modern pieces, both inherited and thrifted, and I’ve supplemented with IKEA pieces that I’ve had for many years and they are still in great shape.

Find a place that rents furniture ( like ez home ) and offer to buy it. If they already have a good profit margin on a piece, they will let a good quality item go for relatively cheap. I suggest leaving your contact info. and calling them to follow up regularly.

Reliably Wal-Mart or Target. It’s import to consider returns if it doesn’t turn out the way you hoped. I’ve ordered from Amazon for linens but furniture has come damaged before and I couldn’t return it fast enough. IKEA does not deliver in my area and Wayfair is good too but only if you’re not in a hurry as their shipping is not reliable. I’ve had quite a few items end up cancelled after purchasing on their end. Something worth mentioning is you can get a Wayfair business account and have your own rep for personal discounts and verifying available products before you order. So that’s nice.

Coastal towns have nice and cheap Target furniture because people are outfitting rentals. College towns have great habitat restores right after school lets out in May.
