  All I can say is DO NOT get any kind of leather sofas from Ikea. My husband and I made that mistake last year, and literally the leather is peeling up (on one sofa) AND Ikea is fighting us over getting it replaced.

  So, a new set for us it is.

  How about Ashley Furniture? They have nice stuff.

  If you want reasonable, how 'bout Bob's discount furniture? I've never used them before, but they seem to be on the cheaper end.

  Craigs list!   We have basically furnished our living room off of CL.  I got an almost brand new sofa and love seat for $300 because some rich guy was re-doing his apartment in the city and wanted the old stuff gone.  I also got a coffee table with a draw from West Elm for $80 and a hall console table for $40.  You usually need to pick the stuff up yourself, but there are also peoplle on CL posting that they will move your furniture for you for dirt cheap.  We actually rented a uhaul when we picked up the couches and it was still a lot less than if we had bought it all new.

  Ack! You're not worried about the bedbug infestation the city is currently having? I used to be obsessed with thrift shops and that kind of thing but have put it on hold til the Department of Health gives the "All Clear"

  This was four years ago (the couches) so there wasn't a bed bug problem then.  But I would probably be ok with it still - you can see bedbugs (they aren't teeny tiny microscopic bugs - they are big, they kind of look like ticks) so I'd just check the furniture before buying.  I saw a special on the news that said this whole "infestation" thing is really being blown out of proportion - bed bugs have always been in NYC, it's just now people are talking about them.  And if a store finds one bed bug, it's all over the news as an "infestation" - like the "infestation" of the Empire State Building....there was one bedbug in the basement!
