Where do you buy your furniture?

[flowerycurtain]

DS9 has outgrown his dinosaur toddler room. We'd like to get him a nice bed with storage, a desk, chest of drawers and w
few shelves. We have weird sloping ceilings & dormer windows so no wardrobe and need lots of drawers.

The only places I can see the stuff I want is IKEA or really expensive handmade Sharps type stuff. We'd like quality that lasts and don't mind paying a bit but not extortionate.

What am I missing? Where am I missing!!!!

IKEA. What's wrong with IKEA?

I mostly buy furniture at the British Heart Foundation shop. If I absolutely had to buy new rather than second-hand I would go to Ikea, but there is rarely any reason to buy new. Obviously, if you buy a second-hand bed you have to go somewhere else for a mattress, but there's a dial-a-mattress shop where I live.

IKEA, I love a trip to IKEA 😄

Can you buy second hand and have it upcycled? Or there is also lots of decent, modern stuff available second hand, too.

It's a bit more of a faff but you will get more for your money.

I bought a beautiful antique pine wardrobe off FB market place. Only £50 but then I organised a courier to collect for £40. I was looking online for something similar but they were £500+

Thanks everyone. There's nothing wrong with IKEA I just don't find it lasts as long. For example we've recently bought new sofas (replacing IKEA!) They have a 50 year guarantee on the frame and with a reupholster we expect them to last our lifetime.

I guess with our sons room we were looking for quality that will last. I do like the idea of second hand I just struggle with the skills and time to do it!
