Inexpensive furniture

[Saint Austin 745]

Among other things, we need to buy a new kitchen table. Where's the best place to get one without spending a lot, but also where I don't have to fucking assemble it myself? I'm in Dallas if that makes a difference. Gracias

[NateHitch 1282]

I'd say Ikea but that would require putting on your big girl panties and putting it together. If that's simply not an option drive around the hood, there's discount furniture stores on every corner

[Gene Parmesan 4027]

Just ask your husband to assemble.

[0xdeadbeef 1654]

If you can't follow IKEA instructions, you have a 2nd grade education, or you have ADHD.  There aren't even any words in the instructions, it's all pictures. 

 

 

[Saint Austin 745]

It's not that I can't following IKEA instructions, it's that I don't want to, and am okay with paying a little more for higher quality.

[4th&Five 41724]

Even better: look up videos of people on YouTube putting it together. We did that for my kid’s ikea bunk bed and it saved us some time. 

[shnsajax 3592]

Check out the floor models at Haverty's if they have any for sale. Usually 40-60% off when we lived there and they want to move them. This was the one in Coppell should it make a difference.

how many kitchen tables ship with the legs already attached?

[Gene Parmesan 4027]

A kitchen table is going to be very basic assembly regardless of where it's purchased.  If you don't want to bolt on 4 legs, just go to one of the chain furniture stores and pay for delivery.  They'll set it up for you.

How fucking difficult is attaching four legs to a slab of wood?

Ikea bruh

[Saint Austin 745]

Fair enough. I had the perception that Ikea stuff was shoddy, but will check them out.

[JimmyHoffa 1188]

I'm not a furniture snob but unless I am buying some cheap end tables or nightstands I am looking a hell of a lot of places before I go with Ikea. 

[elfenix 34396]

like ebay?

[NateHitch 1282]

A lot of it is but they have some good stuff for the price, would be worth at least a browse on the website. We had a lot of Ikea when we were poor and newly married. We've replace most of it but still have our entertainment center which I still really like.

Have you not cruised around the vintage and used shops?  

[Jkwellborn 6896]

Get a door and two saw horses. Bolt the saw horses to the board. Profit.

[Dbeasy 15263]

Jeez. Nebraska Furniture Mart. Best prices. They assemble and deliver.

[Bull Horn 118]

Estate sales too.

[BottleRocket 648]

I see a bunch of really nice used furniture for cheap on Nextdoor. And it’s already put together for you. Buying new is for suckers.

[woohorn 1131]

I think the big gabbert's on 635 E of Midway is going out of business, so nice shit should be on sale.

 

Weirs outlet probably has nice stuff too.

Pretty much this. Huge selection and affordable.

I still don’t understand how Gabberts is allowed to advertise a going out of business sale for 25 years.

If you drive around nice neighborhoods on trash day you can usually find some nice stuff

[Wally Fairway 5610]

are there not resale shops in Dallas?
not as risky, albeit a little more expensive, as picking up from the curb in your hood

or craigslist - but that could end up costing you a kidney

Edited January 8, 2019 by Wally Fairway

[Newdoc 3465]

Facebook Marketplace, if you Facebook. Craigslist for furniture is not too risky. Consignment places. You can refinish stuff pretty easy and there are a bajillion blogs and YouTube videos on how to do it.  

Don't buy new and cheap. That crap won't last five years and for sure won't last more than one move.  Eat on a fold out table until you can find something decent.

Buy 3 kitchen tables, get two free!

[MissingInAction 25329]

Unpainted Huffhines, but you'll have to paint the table.

 

[BottleRocket 648]

You got a table and chairs, you got a dinette set. You got table and no chairs, you got dick.

[TexasGary 853]

Costco has good furniture as reasonable prices.  I am pretty sure they have kitchen tables.

[horn4life 3819]

how inexpensive you want? '-) 

 

 

Furnifure grade PVC

[midtown 3348]

There is a brand new furniture store here in SA.  Living Spaces.

Very reasonably priced furniture. Not sure where you are but you can check out their website. Looks like they also have a store in Pville. 

[ztejas 43777]

This might blow your mind.... but there's this thing called Craigslist. It's pretty new I think, only been around for like, 20 years maybe? I've heard you can buy things there for really good prices and even haggle the price down. There might be a limited selection though, Dallas Craigslist probably only has like 8 billion kitchen tables listed. 

[ShaggyBevo RIP 3868]

Costco but you'll likely have to bolt the legs on.
