(US) Where do you buy a decent quality dresser? (self.asklemmy)

Price range for retail seems to be $100-250 for IKEA stuff that will fall apart in 3 years, or $1,000+ for something better. Is there nothing in between? Would prefer to buy new with risk of bed bugs or other contaminants but open to other options if I'm missing something.

So Ikea has different qualities as well. Something like Hemnes is made of pine instead of particle board. Those will last quite a while. On the other hand pine is a soft wood so those more expensive hardwood models at the top end you mentioned will last a lifetime.

Ikea is for some reason completely out of stock on dressers at the moment. We were just there last week looking at them and everything is "temporarily out of stock" even on the website.
