    Just moved to California, Where's a good place for furniture?

    I just recently moved Cross Country from NJ to the San Fernando Valley.

    Anyone know a good place to buy furniture here? I've been to a few stores and haven't found anything I like.

    Thanks

                  Ikea is my favorite for fast and easy stuff like bookshelves and the like.

                    I think Ikea has a Tax Free Sale April 15th-17th.
                    So good time to buy large items and not have to pay sales tax.

                      There's an Ikea in Burbank. Good stuff there. Hooters is a quick walk from there also.

                          walmart for plates and toasters, etc etc (all that petty shit you need)

                          ikea for decent-priced cool furniture.

                          (trust me, i've moved 18 times in my life LOL)

                            Most decent furniture places don't stock shit and you have to wait forever to get it. Go to Ikea and get the essentials. Good stuff and it is cheap too.

                                  After our house fire in 2001, we were able to completely furnish our apartment at Burbank's Ikea store for less than $2500. Oh year we got an employee discount too, that helped.

                                  Stay away from Reed's furniture in Agoura. They tried to charge us more for an item after we ordered and paid for it. Other people I know have received furniture arrive damaged and have taken more than 2.5 years to straighten out - so just say NO to Reed's.

                                          If you're into hip modern furniture with some retro accents go furniture hunting on Montana street in Santa Monica. Also try La Brea Boulevard in LA.

                                            Good recommendation. The Burbank store is great!

                                                    Depends on what you are looking for --

                                                    If you want nice stuff and dont mind waiting for it or paying a decent chunk for it, I'd suggest you head down towards W Hollywood and do some shopping over off Melrose by the Pacific Design Center.

                                                    If you're looking for moderately priced furniture that usually gets delivered in two weeks or less, but is still quite nice, try Crate and Barrel, Restoration Hardware or Z Gallerie.

                                                    If you want something you can take home with you, go to IKEA.

                                                                  I've got my work cut out for the rest of the week I think.

                                                                  After I get the couch and dinning room out of the way. I'll need help tracking down a good place for a tv.

                                                                  http://reviews.cnet.com/Hitachi_70VS...-31325036.html

                                                                              if your going to spend 5k on a tv.. look at the Samsung DLP 61 inch.. crystal clear.. i love it.

                                                                              I'll have to go check it out myself. I got a buddy in the home theater biz who told me to stay away from Samsung. Something with the way they generate the picture wasn't clear enough. But if you says it's Crystal Clear I'll look at it.

                                                                              The thing with the Hitachi is that the 70" is huge. I used to have a 61" before I moved and I loved it. But the 70 is a world of difference.

                                                                              It's really is like going to the movies at home.

                                                                                    There's one on Canoga just before Victory --

                                                                                    Fry's takes their returns and puts them right back on the shelf unexaminied. They SUCK ASS!! Fuck FRY'S!!!

                                                                                    They are only good for cheap DVD's, and NOTHING MORE!

                                                                                    If you want furniture, try IKEA (shit furniture that will break in a year, but the upside is that it's cheap as hell. Ikea is the cheap ass furniture that you see in bad dental offices, or like what you get when you first move out on your own.. or if you're gay. If you have any class, you'll notice that when you walk in, then you'll walk right the fuck out.) Or go to The Great Indoors, just north of the Ikea in the valley. (take the 134 to Victory Blvd going north. Stay on it past the Costco, and it will curve around to the left and the GreatIndoors is in that new complex with BestBuy and Target and all that. The great indoors has shit furniture that will break in 3 or 4 years and is more exensive.

                                                                                    On Lankershim Blvd between Magnolia and Riverside are TONS (like 6) big furniture stores. They all have shit furniture that will last longer.. or sometimes less. Good luck.

                                                                                    And don't go to FRY's at least not the one in Canoga or the one in Burbank.
