Cheap furniture

[Shannyxox]

Hey everyone
I'm moving out in around 4weeks and me and OH dont have hardy any furniture as we are still living with my parents, we have A bed and LO's wardrobe, We have been looking on-line and everything's so expensive! And Ebay's bits are all pick up only and to far away, are there any good websites for cheap/reasonable priced furniture? Live living room units/coffee tables?

Thanks

Homebase have a sale on at the min they look to be fairly cheap x

Ikea do some nice cheap stuff.

ikea is cheap. or you could try places like gumtree or freecycle.
you can view by location on ebay (we found a table on there through it)

Ikea is pretty reasonable, have you had a look on freecycle to see if anyone nearby is offering any free furniture? I'm guessing somewhere like Argos would do cheap furniture as well.

In my experience ikea are the best for good quality easy to assemble cheap furniture, their shelving units and bookcases are absolutely solid in most cases; the argos and supermarket own brand stuff tends to be a lot more hit and miss xx

All my stuff is nearly Ikea -you have to be careful with looking after it though as its mainly put together with cheap chip board with thin veneer, and one knock can leave a massive hole! It all looks great if you look after it well.
e.g. We got a £7.99 Lack coffee table they are that cheap you can replace every 6 months, and we need too as well - tip always use coasters and place mats with ikea furniture

Do you have a local forum where you are? Plenty of people advertise their furniture on there too

Could try Gumtree or Freecycle?

Charity shops!!

we got our extending dinning room table & 4 chairs (looks pretty much brand new) for £150 - a simular one in ikea was £400 odd.

also our sofa which is also a sofa bed (you really cant tell its a sofa bed) was £100. all that needed doing to that was the cushion covers needed washing..

as others have said, ikea, homebase etc. local newspapers etc? x

I agree charity shops can be brill to find furniture in. I love my local Banardo's furniture store. I have a leather corner sofa that cost me £175 from there!

I always try my luck with Gumtree and Preloved too, I don't drive so I usually message the seller and see if they'll drop it off for an extra fiver. As long as it's not a massive item people are usually willing when they can!

I agree with charity shops too - we got a great sized dining table for £20! Also got Ivy's wardrobe for £25 off gumtree. Ebay is good too, although sometimes you have to pay for a courier which is a bit of a nightmare.
