Best places to shop for good quality furniture that won't break the bank?

[Anonymous]

Hi

We're looking to buy a few pieces of furniture - mostly a couch or two, a couple of comfy chairs. I know about IKEA and Crate and Barrel, but would love some additional suggestions. Looking for something durable, comfortable, classy, and not super expensive (not sure how I'd define this last criteria, but anyway). What do you have/know about that you love?

TIA

Price mattered to us but we did want something nice. We ended up going to Value City Furniture - bought a recliner for $500, a new bed w/mattress for about $1000 and a sectional for $1200. We are pleased with them so far.

Lovsac. Not kidding. It's modular and comes in great fabrics. Planning to redo the family room this year with it. There is a store at Tysons.

We just had our Bassett sectional and dining table delivered and the quality seems decent. They run sales fairly often, too. Also check out West Elm.

Room and Board.

Craig's List! Room and Board is lovely, my favorite, and terrific quality... but expensive, to me. Then again, I am cheap, especially by DC standards.

We just bought a sectional and sunroom furniture at Macy's and it seems like good quality. It was very affordable, plus we got 24 month 0% financing so I took advantage of that, making it even more affordable. They're running a 10% off sale through 8/12.

I love room and board but I would never categorize it as affordable. It seems really pricey to me, but at least it is good quality unlike pottery barn, which is all (questionable) style and no substance.

I like that a large percentage of R+B is manufactured in the States. Their service is top notch and I've been happy with the "entry-level" stuff that we've bought from them.

West elm is crap, IMO

Love the concept, but their sectionals are not reasonably priced.

we've had good luck haunting Haverty's for their discontinued models. The quality is good, and the discount is relatively generous.
