if you are on a tight budget, ikea cant be beaten, their stuff are really not that bad, just assemble it right
if you're ever in richmond, go down bridgeport, tons of furniture places

i would see if u know someone from the brick, or other chains who works there. Get them to buy it for their employee discount and then sell it to you for cheaper. If not, slightly used off craigslist or ikea.
