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.

      Yeah, you have to get pretty spendy to get solid wood. Even “nice” furniture is often hardwood plywood with a veneer. The way to check is to see if the side and end grain matches with what you see on the face. If the growth rings don’t line up, it’s a veneer.
