I'm looking for basically everything: bedding, beds, desks, chairs, dressers, accessories, ect. I LOVE all the furniture from PB Teen, but it's all so expensive. I think I might try ebay or amazon or some site like that. Do you know any other good sites?

Answer
I love IKEA for kids bedrooms, but being the time of year that it is and that you are looking for a room for a teen, I would check out Target. With kids going back to school and going to college I've noticed some great deals on bedding sets, with cooresponding organization items. I have bought things on Walmart.com for my sons room as well, I just purchased a nice headboard, dresser and side table from Walmart.com and had it shipped site to store and it cost me around $259 total with tax. They had a matching desk, but I didn't get it because we have an office in our house.

What website and/or store would i go to for sale furniture?

I need sale furniture that's kid proof. Can anyone help?

Answer
With the advent of disposable furniture from famous brands like Ikea and the like, poor quality seems to be accepted as normal. It is not normal, necessary, or environmentally responsible. A properly made bedroom set should last a lifetime. Go to any antique exhibition and you will see sets that are hundreds of years old. Mission furniture, which originated in Great Britain, is still made to last a lifetime. There is wide verity to choose from at www.barnfurnituremart.com
Authentic Mission style furniture also known as Arts and Crafts furniture is a timeless choice. When it is made using the traditional methods that make it, truly authentic it is a bulletproof choice. You will have something that will last and last. Many stores sell Mission Style furniture that is not made in the traditional way using solid oak. Instead, they use what they call solid wood. That is code for particleboard. Baloney IS meat. The Barn Furniture sells Mission furniture built with the traditional methods in a multitude of price ranges
If you plan on only keeping your furniture for 1 to 5 years and treat your furniture with kid gloves Ikea may be a good choice, however, ask anyone that has had Ikea furniture for a while or attempted to move it. It tends to auto destruct upon moving. Those cam lock type assembly hardware just don't like to be moved. What makes it fairly inexpensive is what makes it poor quality. The whole thing is about freight and warehouse space. This should NOT YOUR PROBLEM. In my humble opinion, virtually all assemble yourself furniture is inferior quality mostly made of particleboard filled with formaldehyde.

I'm ideally looking for a specific company that can supply kids bedroom furniture as IKEA and HABITAT etc don't fit the strange angles. I could get bespoke cupboards and drawers etc, but that would be so expensive. Just some links would be great...

Websites for bedroom furniture?

rainy show

I want new bedroom furniture. I like dark colors, modern, simple, teenager style, and comfortable. Do you know any websites where they might sell furniture like this. It doesn't have to be everything I listed, but pretty close. I'd also like it if the website had a desk that matches the bedroom set. Nothing too pricey (under $2,500) and pretty good quality. Thank You!

Also, if you know a website where I can find accessories (lamps, sheets, ect.), then pleas list! Thanks again.

Answer
There are lots of websites with lots of product. The problem is the price doesn't always match the quality. If you plan on only keeping your furniture for 1 to 5 years and treat your furniture with kid gloves Ikea may be a good choice, however, ask anyone that has had Ikea furniture for a while or attempted to move it. It tends to auto destruct upon moving. Those cam lock type assembly hardware just don't like to be moved. What makes it fairly inexpensive is what makes it poor quality. The whole thing is about freight and warehouse space. This should NOT YOUR PROBLEM. In my humble opinion, virtually all assemble yourself furniture is inferior quality mostly made of particleboard filled with formaldehyde. My family and I have been in the furniture business both manufacturing and retailing for over 60 years. Our retail store went on line almost 20 years ago. I understand both manufacturing and retailing. I sell what I make every day of the week in my store. Consider checking out a local store with less than 5 to 10 stores. in my experience the larger the chain, the poorer the quality and service. Also, in this difficult housing market, many both large and small stores are struggling and over 20,000 retail furniture stores both large and small have gone out of in business in the last 18 months. PAY BY CREDIT CARD for a little protection. I have noticed fairly good quality furniture in Costco. In the STORE not on line. It is very seasonal for them and the selection is very limited but well priced and good quality. Also please check out our website and blog @ www.barnfurniture.com

Where can i buy a good armoire(for clothes) for my mother's bedroom?

Q. I want to surprise her with a new armoire but i dont know where to buy a good one, ive been to target but no luck, and ikeas do no exist in Ny. please help, i need to spend no more than $300.00

A. Check your local newspaper's classified ads. Sometimes estate sales will list such pieces of furniture, and you can get a really classy armoire this way. Other times, you'll go to the see the furniture and it's very worn-out looking (knicked and scratched or badly in need of sanding and staining), in which you case you keep up your search. It's hit or miss, but you could get lucky!

I got a very nice armoire for $100 this way. It's sturdy and ornately detailed, but it took time to find just what I was looking for. [It is dark-stained oak, to endure my children.] Be patient by realizing that people get rid of things like this all the time, for lack of room, because they are moving or because of a divorce, etc. It's not necessarily because they think it's just junk they want to be rid of. Maybe it belonged to a teen that is now going off to college.

Also, check out some antique and second-hand stores. You never know what you'll find, and sometimes the salespeople will bargain with you over a big item like that.

I realize you are looking for a "new armoire," but consider your budget and what you can get for how much cash you're willing to part with. It's really worth it to look through the classified ads and to visit estate sales (and garage sales) that list furniture, because you can sometimes get a better quality piece of furniture than you might be able to afford otherwise.

Would your mother be any less surprised if you presented her with a really nice armoire that was gently used before? With they money you could save, maybe you could then put something new for her to wear inside of it. That would be thoughtful, too.

Of course, if your mom is superstitious and thus might think the previous owner of the armoire died and that she'll be haunted, then by all means stick with something new.

I think of the newer armoires as rather plain-looking, and not nearly as sturdy as they used to be, unless you're willing to shell out a whole lot of money. But, that's my opinion.

To give you a tangible idea of the difference between what you can get second-hand versus what you can afford that is new, please consider that the armoire I bought for my kids (second-hand, gently used) looked similar to this one (and please see the price of it):

http://www.onewayfurniture.com/bt9004103.html

I've listed several sites (search results for new armoires) below.

I hope this helps.

Original Question

How much did it cost for your to furnish your place?

Q. I'm wondering how much it would cost to furnish a 3 bedroom, 2000 sq. ft home. We're planning to buy all new furniture.

How much did it cost for you, and what furniture stores did you go to? Do you have a lot of hand-me-downs? Please include how many bedrooms you have and/or square footage.

A. Furnishing you home can be very expensive. I have a 1200 sq. ft home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Furnishing the living room and the bedroom were the most expensive. These two rooms cost approximately $1500/room to furnish. All our furniture came from Rooms to Go. I waited on sales and discounts before making any big purchases. The kids room and guest room were less expensive to furnish. These rooms were less expensive because we didn't buy room packages and purchased the neccesities, such as just the bed and dresser or nightstand (s). The kids room and guest room cost approximately $800/room. Furnishings for these rooms came from Ikea. The dining room cost approximately $400. The dining room set came from the Room Store. I waited for sales and discounts before making any purchases here too. Most furniture stores have a family and friends day were they give the customer 10 to 20 percent off their products. Use the 10 to 20 percent coupon on a day when there is also a sale. You could save 200 to 500 dollars on furniture. Also, ask for free delivery specials; paying for delivery can get expensive. Note: When buying furniture packages, make sure the price is less than buying the pieces seperate. I found an error in a package price where the package price was more than if I bought the prices seperate. I saved myself an extra $100.

As far as hand me downs, I do not have any. However if you have old living furniture such as sofas, chairs, or loveseats, you can go to a furniture upholstery store or outlet and have you living furniture revamped in the style you want at a cost lower than buying new furniture. Your furniture will be custom.

Where can I get some cool teen furniture?

Q. So I just moved, and I really want to start decorating my room, seeing as my birthday is coming up and I'll be getting some spending money for my room. (: I looked on Ikea, but I really don't like their furniture. Same with Macy's and Bed, Bath, & Beyond. What are some other good places to get furniture, mostly a desk, a new bed set, and a set of drawers o put my clothes in? Black furniture is preferable. Thanks !

A. Target believe it or not has a cool furniture and it is good quality and since it is not super expensive youll have extra money for other stuff.
