“There are tons of good-quality furniture available on Facebook Marketplace. Secondhand furniture of good quality is way better than some Ikea stuff. And it’s usually cheaper, too, sometimes free.”
“Also, look into your local Buy Nothing group on Facebook. As long as you’re honest and polite, it’s a great way to get stuff you need and offload things someone else might need.”
Note: I’m big on free stuff (I got the desk I’m writing from now via the free section of Craigslist), but it’s also important to know how to avoid bringing bedbugs and other pests home with you. Dealing with an infestation can be hellish, so you might want to consider buying any upholstered items new, just to be on the safe side.
