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.

    There really a market for mostly good furniture, it is either buy it for life or just needs to last a few years until the next move.

    The great furniture of the past is the $1,000+ stuff that people would save up for years to afford. It cost less then, but it was a similar portion of a paycheck. House/rent, transportation, and food was also a smaller portion of the average paycheck back then too…
