Creative Classics in Old Town has beautiful & high quality furniture. Pricey but just lovely. We initially bought our furniture from Ikea & replacing it one piece at a time from Creative Classics. Their furniture is also made in the U.S.

Home Decorators is owned by Home Depot I believe. Online only but prices are reasonable bc like Ikea I think most furniture comes in a box. More traditional stuff and less modern than Ikea.

Awful, awful quality. Don't waste your money. Try Belfort.

And check out craigslist.


We bought the biggest piece of crap couch ever from World Market.


Agree that Craiglist is great!

I've never had any luck with World Market. There stuff ends up being pretty crappy.

I do like CB2. And I bought a small chest of drawers from Home Decorators(?) online. It's held up great.

For accent furniture, Home Goods or TJ Maxx can have some cute and decently made things.

We got two pieces (a sofa and an armchair) from Macy's that were reasonably priced and have held up great through years of heavy use and two kids. Check them out.

Belfort. They have a huge selection. The only down side is you may have to wait for your furniture if they don't have it in stock.
