Ours is a mix of many places - outdoors is from Helms, our bedroom furniture came from Grace, the kids beds came from Crate & Barrel, our family room sectional-Pottery Barn, accent chairs in LR are antique (150yrs) which I had restored and reupholstered, guest room furniture Blue Whale (PDC), multiple pieces of antique Chinese furniture, dining room furniture was a wedding gift, I don’t remember where that came from A mish mosh, but it all pulls together and looks nice.
Add Room and Board to the list! We bought a couple of marble top tables, a dresser, and a mirror for the bedroom. Love their quality.
Amish furniture mostly from Sugarcreek, Ohio. I’ll also look at Craigslist or Facebook Market. The desk and chair I’m using now I found on Craigslist when a local company remodeled. Cost was $50. After that there’s a local family owned furniture store that carries quality furniture.
If you want really high end furniture (Baker, Century, Hickory, etc) I’ve gotten some nice “gently used” pieces on a website called Chairish for a fraction of the original price. I recently scored some nice Hickory end tables (in excellent condition) for $300 each. I later found out that they are still being sold at retail, currently starting at $2k each (depending on which finish you choose). You do have to take shipping costs into consideration and they can be high. If you are lucky enough to live near a larger metropolitan area, you can search locally and pick up purchases yourself for free, or the cost of a rental truck.
Meanwhile, I’m going to treat those tables with a lot more respect when I’m dusting them.
I love Arhaus but most of our furniture came from Kincaid in High Point NC.
I have found wonderful things at vintage shops, consignment shops… and estate sales, I LOVE those. I still have a number of things that were in my parents’ homes. Had the handcrafted pine trestle table refinished for the kitchen last year, just had the chairs refinished too. I have reupholstered classic chairs from the 1940s and 50s. They had good bones… quality that will last forever. What I need to do soon, though, is replace the saggy, tired old sofa that I bought on sale about 15 years ago. I have been captivated by the pieces on the Joybird furniture website. Midcentury modern has never been my style, but I feel the need to add something wild and crazy to the mix. The one I have my eye on will make me feel like Jane Jetson, I think! 
I love Chairish! I have been watching for a dining room table. I am hoping one that’s just perfect pops up before the holidays (although I might not need it even then, if this darn virus doesn’t behave better).
I got rid of 2/3 of my furniture 2 years ago (gave them away). I am not sure when I would be buying furniture again. My kids are still taking furniture from me. At one point I had 7 sofas and 4 dining tables.
My favorite sofa shop is Carlyle in NYC. The sofa and sofa beds are smaller in size which is perfect for apartment living. I like Stickley furniture. We used to have some Baker. When China first opened up for exporting I bought some nice antique furniture from China via Ebay.
Room and Board for the living room furniture, a mixture of Costco and Crate and Barrel in the family room. PB kitchen table, chairs, and bar stools.
In our 2nd home, sofas and loveseat from a local place, recliners from Ashley, misc chairs and a sleeper sectional thing from Ikea. Other than the Ikea stuff, it was all brand new and left by the previous owners. Since we’re not here full-time, it’s held up reasonably well over 5 years.
Does anyone buy furniture from Bloomingdales?
Me. Dining room set, sofa. I had a great salesman who called me when my favorites went on sale. My dinning table is narrower than most. It can open from either end, so I often just pull out just one end when having 6 people over. No leaves to store.
DD and husband are buying a sectional. It comes in a variety of pieces, and you order what you want. I believe it’s online only…anyone have any idea what vendor that might be? It’s their one splurge. They have friends who have this, and really like it.
Couches are our one annoying thing. We have purchased custom covered couches several times and have been very disappointed with them.
At this point, getting rid of furniture is higher on our list of things to do than buying (except for the couch). We want to just give away the extras we have. Most are solid wood, and older. Hoping someone wants them.
@thumper1 might it be the company that was featured on Sharks Tank a couple of years ago, Love Sac?
@thumper1 - if you find out the brand, do let me know. D wants a sectional for her new house and is actively looking for one.
The last real furniture I bought were a bedroom set from Crate and Barrel for my daughter. Very happy with the quality.
My kids like Arhaus and Crate and Barrel. We have a houseful of very nice antique furniture in our vacation home, but my kids don’t want anything to do with “brown” furniture.
Almost all of the furniture we have in our house or vacation place is from Thomas Moser (Maine) or Charles Webb (Cambridge-based furniture maker, now out of business). Outdoor furniture from Crate and Barrel, Room and Board, and Barlow Tyrie. Also have sofas from the Design Center in Boston (can’t remember the name of the vendor–bought them through an interior designer).
Our is mostly furnished with antiques we’ve collected over the years or family pieces we’ve inherited, so all old. Only new items have been the family room sofa/sectional which starts to look awful after a while, between boys and dogs, so we replace from main street retail kind of places, like Art Van etc. Perhaps if we invested more, it would last longer, but that’s just not a priority for me.
Consignment stores.
We’ve bought custom pieces online from simplyamish dot com, and some leather chairs from the local Stickley dealer. Pretty traditional stuff. I tell you it’s coming back some day.
I did barter work with a very high end interior designer 30 years ago. Still have most of those pieces (although the upholstered ones have been reupholstered for wear or color palate shifts). My takeaway is buying quality is key.
Bought a sleeper sofa from LayZBoy of all places as it was the only one that my “Princess and the Pea” father felt comfortable to sleep on the one or two weeks he visited each year and needed to be on the main floor. (The rest of the year the room served as our family/game room.) That was a good purchase. Although Dad’s no longer with us, we’ve gotten a lot of use from the sofa bed for overflow guests.
