Hey all, so I’ve just leveled up and bought my first house. Because of that, I now have little to no furniture or much money to buy some with. I want to find some decent quality furniture brands that are somewhere between the price range of IKEA and Pottery Barn.

Any and all recommendations/testimonies on what to buy and what to avoid are appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks for all the responses! I wish I could respond to all of them, but trust me I’m reading and researching as many as I can. Love this sub

The point of this post is to explore the many online furniture retailers at various different price points and different styles. This thread will grow more organized with time, and will be continuously stickied here at r/LivingSpaceSales for the time being. Better descriptions of every store will come with time as well.

For now I am only organizing this list into two different styles: Traditional, and Modern furniture. I will certainly have more options for Modern furniture for now, as that is the style I am best versed in, and know most of the stores of. I also think that is far more popular among reddit's demographic.

For now I am only very vaguely listing the price range for each website. $ is for budget furniture, not too much more or less pricey than your average ikea. Generally items are between $100-1000. $$ is for low-end midrange and high mid-range, around the $500-2000 range. Starting at your typical West Elm at Mid-Low, or Crate and Barrel maybe towards Mid-High. A step above in terms of quality and price from Ikea level brands, or maybe even 2 steps above. $$$ is for exclusively high-end furniture. Think of websites that sell iconic furniture like the eames lounge chair (eg. Herman Miller) and the nelson bench, that quality and price range.

Finally, please recommend any hidden and reputable sellers you may know of online. For now I am only collecting Furniture stores, any website must sell furniture not just Decor. I want this list to always be growing.

Finally, let's begin the list.

Hello from our friends at r/MaleLivingSpace & r/FemaleLivingSpace!

Hi All,

Need to purchase some new furniture and price is important but i also dont want to buy something that won't last for long.
So i come to the reddit community and ask - who has better quality furniture between the value furniture brand -- Leon's or Brick or Ikea or WayFair? Any other names would be awesome.

Thanks

I am looking to purchase a home this year or next, and as we furnish the house we would like to upgrade our furniture from ikea/wayfair/amazon items to quality pieces that last.

Other than article, crate and barrel, and pottery barn, I am at a loss as to where people actually shop for furniture. Would love some recs!

Hello! I’m currently in the process of slowly refurbishing my NYC apartment, and I’d love your advice.

What are some furniture brands that build quality pieces but don’t cost a ton. I’m interested in mid century modern mostly. And right now I’m looking for a writing desk around $500–$800.

Basically, I’m looking for the Everlane of furniture design. A company that delivers quality, basic items at a fair price. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, we're settling into our first home. We're looking for a sofa set. The designs I like are found in outdoor furniture these days. Something like this:

Clara by Ashley

Baela by Joss & Main

Patio daybed by Birch and Lane

But I've heard these companies have terrible quality and customer service. I'd like to buy furniture for life. My grandmother used to have furniture like that in her house that withstood almost 50+ years until she gave it away.

I have the same mentality. To buy for life. Are there any quality companies that make Sofas and Chairs like these that I could buy from? We're in the Unites States East coast.

Edit:

With reviews, advice, and suggestions from people. I've shifted my taste a bit. I'm looking into something like a combo of Plinth Sofa + Ottomon now. Something like:

Neptune By Article

Harmony by West Elm

Tidal By Crate & Barrel

Edit No.2:

I eventually settled on a sofa from HomeGoods. It was a worthy discard from a North Carolina based custom Sofa company. God decent solid wood. And beige color.

I got the Table and Chairs from Habitat from Humanity restores. Got a decent Wraught Iron set. I changed my taste a lot to save money.

I’m sorry in advance if this question is out of line for this sub!

I would like to be a grownup and furnish my house with something that won’t wear out or fall apart within a couple years. Specifically I need a couple couches and a couple comfortable chairs for a living room and rec/TV room.

I’m so tired of buying furniture that looks nice for 6 months and then sags/breaks/falls apart or gets so uncomfortable we stop using it. Everyone I know buys their furniture at IKEA/Costco/Wayfair and it’s complete garbage in 5 years, or they had an interior designer work on the house and they have no idea where she/he got the items.

What are some high quality furniture brands or stores for me to look?

ETA budget could be up to $20,000 for the right pieces. If it’s something really expensive I can just save up a little longer.

Edit 2: I’m located in southern Minnesota if that helps.

My life has really leveled up in the last few years and my husband and I are looking for some high quality, durable, buy it for life type furniture.

We do have a bit of a budget available, so I'm interested in items we can invest in knowing they'll be with us for the long haul. Obviously affordable pieces are a bonus, but if something is a few hundred dollars more that isn't a deal breaker if it will last.

Specifically we're looking for a bed frame, bonus points if it's capable of supporting a fair amount of weight as we're both heavy. We're also interested in a dining room set and a new couch after the bedframe.

Oh, and some decent bookshelves!

Thank you in advance for the help! We've never been in a position to buy anything but the cheapest option before and we're excited to stop replacing things every few years with more cheap crap.

I say brand vs store because you see a lot of the same brands and sets in multiple stores

We are finally going to be homeowners in about two weeks. We have moved around a lot so it was always cheaper to get cheap furniture from craigslist and throw it out when we move, rather than spending money moving it across the country, multiple times. I think we spent a total of $200 to furnish our one bedroom apartment this last move. I have kept the same bed for 10 years now and that's the only thing that I have kept this whole time.

Now that we are going to own our own home, we're going to take some pride in our home and get nicer furniture. But every time I see a dinning room chair for $300, or $2000 for a couch, I just freak out.

Is there a secret homeowners club where people in the know go to get their nice, inexpensive, quality furniture? Which brands or stores are good for that kind of furniture?

Edit: Thanks everyone for your suggestions! It's going to take some time to sort through the comments and digest the suggestions and I can't respond to everyone, but seriously, this was so informational. Thanks everyone!

I'm always trying to stay in the know. What are the cool new(ish) direct-to-consumer and/or traditional furniture brands?

i am trying to find the coolest brands out there, and I am struggling a bit. Perhaps some of you have some good ideas.

for context, we are working on an interior design app. it is basically an A.I. interior designer for your pocket. The app uses an AR interface and the home staging AI used by the floorplanbot.

thanks!!

Hello! My husband and I are buying furniture for our first house, and we want something that can possibly be a BIFL! Any suggestions? Thanks!

My fiance and I recently graduated college with no debt. We're moving to the west coast next month to start work.

My employer is putting us in temporary housing for two weeks upon our arrival. During this time we plan on vigorously apartment hunting, signing a lease as soon as possible, and then furnishing the apartment with the basics while we can still live in temp housing. That being said, neither of us have ever had to furnish an apartment completely from scratch before.

I'm not comfortable using Craigslist in a brand new neighborhood and we don't have any friends/family in the area that we could inherit from, so we plan on buying new. That being said:

• What are things to look for when buying new furniture?

• What's the best way to pay for it?

• Any scams/pitfalls to be wary of?

• Which furniture stores are the best bang for their buck?

• Besides the bed, which pieces of furniture are most essential?

• Which pieces of furniture should we not be cheap about?

Thanks for your insight PF. Not sure where else I could ask these questions.

Edit: I'm not looking for people to tell me to buy from Craigslist instead, I'm looking for advice when buying new furniture. We're not looking for furniture that is going to last us for the rest of our lives at this because we'll outgrow it eventually.

The SO and I are in our late 20's and slowly replacing the college age, IKEA/hand me down furniture for something we will actually take with us when we can afford a house. My question is though, where do grownups buy furniture?

I just moved into a new home and am trying to go for a Scandinavian look with the furnishings. Does anyone have good recommendations for furniture sites? We got chairs from Article, sofa from West Elm, and rug from Restoration Hardware. Still looking for a kitchen table and chairs, sideboard, and bar stools. Thanks!

Edit: Thank you everyone for all the great suggestions!
