I use it all the time, especially when looking for furniture on a budget. Also, be sure to check the back of your big, retail furniture stores; we found some great deals that way. IKEA isn't bad either. We have enjoyed all of our stuff from IKEA, and it's very cheap. Craigslist.com is key! I use it all the time, especially when looking for furniture on a budget.

Great job on getting that deal. :) @IB & Craig: Thanks for pointing out Craigslist and other resources. I've found some deals on it, but I kept just missing the couches I was hunting for. You really have to be quick on those things. @Baker: Very creative with restaining and repainting!

Unless you are planning on buying something that you know will last you years, no reason to spend ridiculous amounts of money on furniture. It's something that's more temporary. craigslist is a good way to buy used furniture for cheap.

At these places, you can often get gently used furniture for VERY low prices or even free! We got our queen bed for free on Craigslist.
