Go to Foremost Furniture, on 30th Street

I like Bo Concept. They have a store on 23rd and Madison (I think). You can check out their website at www.boconcept.com.

I've bought a dining room table and chairs and just got a new bed and night stands.

ABC Carpet for everything.

ABC Carpet and Home absolutley...also Design Within Reach on 14th and one in SOHO...

If you are looking for not too expensive, skip ABC.

Head out to the burbs and shop at Ikea for inexpensive modern.

I love Ligne Roset on Park Avenue. Also, DDC Furniture on Madison and 34th St.

I wouldn't consider ABC, Design Within Reach, or Ligne Roset to be in the "Not too expensive" category. But then again, we don't know what not too expensive really is in this case... Lucky, if you give a range, we could provide more help.

Ikea is good for cheap. I consider Bo Concept a nice step up from Ikea. I've look at Ligne Roset stuff and wasn't impressed, especially for what they charge.

ikea is anything BUT good quality

Check out the Maurice Villency store on 57th Street and 2nd Avenue. Pricey but top quality. They have an excellant website that will give you some idea of the type of furniture they carry. It's at mauricevillency.com

Make that 57th Street and 3rd Avenue.

There are some good deals to be had at Ligne Roset and most of the items are good quality. For example, a year or so ago, I purchased a beautiful dining room table (seats 6 easily)on sale for $2000. They should have some items on sale during this time of year.

Rte. 110 in Farmingdale, Long Island has tons of furniture stores. Usually there are sales & sometimes deals like 0% interest & no payments for a year.

Expensive-Depression Modern
All up and down Mercer St, Green St and WBroadway in Soho..
I wish I knew of some not too expensive places in NYC that are also quality but the two don't seem to go together that often.
Ikea falls apart in your hands!! But my friends in London think it is the best !

If you want good quality, you have to either pay for it or buy it secondhand.

That being said, I've got my mothers old Henry Don sofa from the sixties and it is on its third recovering.
