Good-quality but not wildly expensive teen bedroom furniture?

You also need to be careful at ikea. Usually the cheapest ikea option is trash, especially if it’s “wood,” but the most expensive ikea option is often the best option below 5x the price. Like the Hemnes dresser.

That's what I am working on now. My kid had PB in childhood, and it's held up well, but I keep hearing horror stories about their quality and customer service recently. A friend had an upholstered bed delivered, and it was completely filthy and damaged. It feels like it's going to be a giant hassle for her. I had a R+B dresser arrive damaged, and the delivery guys pointed it out to us, took pics, boxed it back up, and called in the re-order on the spot.

Good to know. I was going to recommend Pottery Barn Teen and Pottery Barn.

Our entire house is room and board, crate and barrel, etc. also, all the furniture is from Facebook marketplace or Craigslist. We do not buy new unless we have to. Yes it means we have to wait until something peaks out interest but we are ok with that

I would't buy teen furniture for a few years in less its something they could use or you'd use as a guest room long term. We got adult furniture and other decorations were very teen.

Secondhand older furniture, especially the all wooden furniture.

What do you consider to be outrageously expensive? We got the CB Linea line, it's very sturdy and heavy, looks nice too.

No shortage of solid American made furniture from 1910-1950 era for pennies on Facebook. That was the furniture I had as a kid, in my bedroom. It was my grandfather's bedroom set when he was a kid in the 1920s and I had it as a kid. Classic traditional style furniture and extremely durable. And guess what, some of it is in kid's bedroom now.

Older stuff was built to last, because consumers demanded quality items back then.

Now most people think literal pressed cardboard furniture with a veneer is classy and trendy.

I was looking at IKEA as well, but found out their sizes aren't typical, so I can't fit a non-IKEA mattress snugly in an IKEA frame.

Also, the issue with buying second hand bed frames is you have to take it apart at one location and then put it back together again in the new place, and hope you have all the parts it came with originally.

Most only require a few screws. Available at any hardware store or even walmart type stores. Much more work moving a mattress.

Bought a bed from Lancaster off of Etsy, and a dresser from Belfort. Happy with both.

We aren’t anti-IKEA but didn’t want to assemble furniture, and discovered that CB, PB, and other places now deliver as flat pack. Loved loved the options in this store and paid comparable prices to PB, with no assembly and beautiful handiwork. We bought all Amish hand crafted; the price was reasonable and it makes me smile every time I see it.

I really don't know where you all are finding this stuff "for pennies" on FB marketplace. Sellers nowadays know that solid wood is worth $$$$. It's priced higher than the name brand furniture where I live in Northern Virginia.
