Price range for retail seems to be $100-250 for IKEA stuff that will fall apart in 3 years, or $1,000+ for something better. Is there nothing in between? Would prefer to buy new with risk of bed bugs or other contaminants but open to other options if I’m missing something.

    Dovetails and rabbets are going to be way more than $1000 without some serious bargain hunting and luck.

    I just had to refurnish my whole house and it’s disgusting how much is being asked for shitty pressboard furniture.

    At least IKEA is charging pressboard prices for pressboard furniture (and a decent array of solid softwood furniture as well). And in my experience it holds up better than most if you’re not abusing it or moving every year.
