Contemporary Furniture. Online?

[Tech Tonics]

For the first time ever we're not going to get used crap off craigslist or snagged from a family member moving.

We're not going to spend a lot of money, but for us, spending a few hundy on a chair is a big deal.

Our house is sorta conemporary. ikea-ish?

and we need a chair. Not like a lay-z-boy but way smaller. Next to the woodstove were you'd want to hang and chill out.

so where are all the cool kids buying furniture these days? ikea doesn't do mailorder. overstock.com has some stuff but I have a feeling some of you hipster folks know something I don't. I already PM'd rontele but I'm waiting to hear back (wtf).

thanks

Try hivemodern.com

When you recover from price shock, try searching ebay for used versions of the stuff you like

Good luck

Roomandboard.com has some nice stuff too...the modern stuff is not bleeding edge, but adult furniture, a step up from ikea.

ikea-ish?

Jesus, no.

See above ^^^. You can do way better with the same budget.

edit: the shit ain't free. But I'll let you into a rich people's secret: buy something nice once, instead of buying crap over and over. It's cheaper that way.

Just go to Ikea.
Besides, the free twine they give you that's somehow supposed to hold the 150lb box to your car's roof is well worth it. And they have monkeys there now!

whoa. i can't run with the big boys. $1000? $3000? for a badass looking chair? nope

cool stuff guys but I didn't mean to give the impression that I'm a high roller dropping a couple grand on a reading chair.

that being said there is some great stuff on thehive and DWR. so thanks. now I'm searching ebay and c-list for the same pieces

thanks very much

Evinco and Modernica are two vendors of knock off lounge chairs at about 1/3 the cost of the originals. We're talking about $700-800 and up instead of $2800 and up. A licensed Eames lounge chair and ottoman are $4500 for example. If you want something in the $300 range that's kind of Ikea territory. Sorry none are close by to you.

Read the edit I made.

I had no idea furniture was going for those kind of prices. Freaking insane. Basic tables for 3-5K ?

Insane.

There must be custom furniture makers making a killing.

Try searching Plycraft on ebay. They made a nice Eames knockoff.

This one goes for $800, and looks pretty solid.

Of course you'd be better off with something cool and cheaper and custom made.

edit: money where mouth is.

Buy something old. Craigslist maybe. Not as pretty, way more character.

Less than Room&Board, more than Ikea.
US made, lifetime warranty.

As iceman said, more expensive tends to last longer.

What, Northpoint Home Furnishings isn't suiting your needs?
