(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.

that's what he's saying. cheap stuff is going to be cheap, but Ikea offers better stuff for a little bit more

And is still cheaper than what you'll find at most competing stores. Cheaper as in price, not quality. I need to drive about an hour and a half to the nearest IKEA, so I've looked at other options when I think of some new furniture that could improve my space use. I'm always disappointed in both the selection available and the price on the not quite what I have in mind but closest they've got.
