I would hit up antique malls. They'll have furniture scattered about being used for displays, and often will have entire rooms filled with furniture. You can often tell what is wood from particle board and plywood based on the construction, youtube has good guides for this. I have solid wood nightstand, dresser, desk, and small cabinet I use as a TV stand from an antique mall, and I have a metal and glass coffee table I got from another store in the same area.

From someone who has had a bad experience with used furniture in the past, DO NOT BUY USED, especially bed frames, unless you wanna risk spending thousands on pest control after you get bed bugs, those little devils can survive months without your blood an lay eggs everywhere, and it’s so hard to get rid of them because they have grown immunity to almost every bug spray used by professionals today, you are better off buying something from ikea or waiting a little longer to buy the same piece new. No money in this world is worth having to go trough the experience of having bed bugs, you lose your sleep, you become paranoid… it’s awful, two years have passed by and even though I managed to get rid of them it took 6 months until they were completely gone and I used so much money in the process, and on top of that I still (unconsciously) check my bed frame and couch pillows before I sit. Believe me, you don’t wanna risk it 😣 More on reddit.com
