Yeah, before I dropped that much on a coffee table I would certainly be haunting Craigslist or local resale shops.
One thing you cannot get used? Bookcases.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The reviews of the Target one say that the bottom shelf breaks if you put anything on it. They have other nice-looking ones, though.
My problem with used is transportation. I.e., I have none. So I need delivery, unless I rope my parents into shopping with me, which means shopping with my parents.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you have a World Market nearby, Jesse? I find their furniture to be really nice and stable--dinner table, desk, TV/DVD setup. In fact, I do need to replace the table by my cuddle lounge, and I'm going to look there before my favourite second hand furniture place nearby.

No World Market here.

Woke up with a scratchy throat and snotty. No karate today. Instead, we are babysitting the kids who are also snotty. I wanna crawl back in bed.

I'm also looking at this one from Pier 1, which I actually can see in person.

Good times! It's still going strong. Bon's fallen asleep in it more than once, I think. As have I, with company over.
Shame about there being nowhere else to sit in the apartment, though.
I just had a look at some World Market tables, and more than one looked pretty good, but then the realisation I'd have to put them together (and given that I'm looking for one with shelving and/or a drawer---nuh huh), it's not going to happen anytime soon. I do not have the energy for that.

I've been pretty happy with furniture I've bought from Pier 1, for what it's worth.
