If you go second-hand shopping you can find the real vintage stuff that today's trendy "scandinavian" designs are mostly based on.

you have to watch out at ikea, they sneak in crap with the regular stuff

everywhere you go, the regular stuff is crap, try finding a new coffee table made
of actual wood, not the particle board crap, thats all anyone carries unless
you hit an antique shop (no longer new) or have it custom built, the sad part
you can pay $150 at a place like Ikea or $1700 at a place like ScanHaus

You just need to look around. There are plenty of furniture stores around here that sell solid wood furniture at reasonable prices.. the just don't advertise on TV.

Any furniture you can buy from a chain store for next to nothing is going to be crap, its a no-brainer.

Fuck IKEA, Fuck walmart.. truly: fuck the whole lot of em.

(I like trying to make my own furniture... except for couches... they're tricky.)

In short, just buy some wood and make your own shit.. its much less expensive, not very difficult.. and at the same time its pretty damn fun.
