Oh I do love a bargain. I only wish there was In Ikea near us (I'm in Norwich), but unfortunately they don't even deliver to our area.
I'm also not sure where to go. I got some lovely chest og drawers from a local auction house though. Secondhand it fine and a great deal cheaper than new. Often I find older furniture is better made and a littler sturdier as well
You just need to give them a good clean and a rubbdown. I bought some new love ceramic knobs for my chests and now I have love peices of furniture that are really original and not just similar to the same stuff all my friends seem to have!
