Nothing Can Be Explained
I'm moving into a new apartment next week and want some contemporary/minimalist furniture for the whole place. Where do you guys get your at?

minimalist and contemporary. As for actual furniture itself, if you are moving into an apartment with a chance that you will be moving again I wouldn't buy anything too flash - just IKEA (do you guys have that?) shit that can be pulled apart and moved easily.

Some of my favorite pieces came from IKEA a few years back. Nobody ever looks at it and goes "Ewww! That's IKEA!"

Some of it looks really cool and holds up well enough (as long as you don't drop-kick it)

If there's not one near you, don't even bother though. The shipping on that shit will diminish any savings you'd enjoy by shopping there.

I'm kind of a minimalist, that's why I like it. I'm about to grab an awesome table from World Market too.

Otherwise, I dunno. My friend's wife gets their shit from Rooms to Go and I think it's butt-ugly but it may be just the ugly shit she picks out.
 
I agree with Beach Affiliate...
IKEA furniture can hold up real well. Moving is a pain in the ass, and if you end up buying expensive furniture and living with roommates, they are likely to fuck it up, etc.

If you fuck up IKEA furniture, who cares?
 
+1 for IKEA. I was just at one in LA and they have lots of good stuff that probably fits your furniture needs as you described...
 
Ikea is the same press board shit you can get at Wally World (Sauder). Cheap throw away furniture that isn't worth a tinker's damn.

Disclosure: I work in the moving industry.
 
Here ya go

+1 good will. Cheap and no-one knows the difference.

As for IKEA, u can't be srs.. cheap, shit and made in china with a high price tag.
 
For minimalism IKEA is OK. My entire house is IKEA furnished right now, bed, desk, TV stand, couch are all from there.

Easy to setup, easy to break down when you move again.

Having said that my desk rocks.

My couch that turns into bed sucks. My bed is cool as well.

However next time I move to a different state I will not be buying a bed. I want to go true minimalism and do something japanese style...but I will still have a table with chairs cause sitting on the floor sucks.
 
Did webnet just post some child porn? WTF is with that photo.. the faces are young, but then they are also photoshopped on to the bodies. That's just so fucked up.

Also Ikea is the shit, nearly my whole house in from there. Yeah the stuff is cheap as hell and will break but I can replace everything in my living room for like $1500.
 
I hate that I can't edit stuff after you post them for a bit.

Something I wanted to note is if you go to minimalist people will actually complain about it. Girls used to tell me my apartment looked like a Dr's office.

Added a few pictures and art I like and suddenly no one made any comment. Did not even go overboard, just three pieces of art hanged in the living room walls and one at the bedroom.
 
Some really simple stuff is great from Ethan Allen, but it's costly. If you are going to have roommates then you need to be very cautious about what you buy as they will FUCK it up. If you have or plan to have kids, I think they can do even more damage than roommates. I have had Ikea in the past. It's simple and cheap. A bed frame is a frame. Just get a mattress somewhere else. Ideally one with the wooden feet so literally the Ikea shit is just for decoration.
