hello everyone, i’m looking to buy some forniture but there’s nothing good for me at Ikea and Nutori, there is any alternative here that’s not crazy expansive?
Most of the furniture in our house is from Nitori and Ikea and we have a new bed from Nitori on the way for delivery this afternoon. Some home centers have furniture, so you might take a look at the ones near you. Otherwise, Nitori and Ikea are just about it if you want to avoid the expensive traditional furniture stores.
I like Belle Maison and LOWYA but I believe both are online only.
Depends where you are and how far you are willing to travel and are you prepared pay for shipping of large furniture items to your home from the other end of the country. All major cities have high-end furniture shops but will be expensive. If you’re on a budget then you’re generally stuck with Ikea and Nitori and the like. Asking around your local area, neighbours etc. would be a good start.
If you are at all handy, there are rental workshops where you could have materials delivered and do all the cutting/etc. there and just do final assembly at home with a screwdriver or whatever. That still might well be more expensive in the long run. Other than that, used and homecenters as others have mentioned.
Just search recycle stores really good not expensive furniture and goods
Try Manabe interior hearts, recently got a very nice desk from them.

Maybe try home centers?
For example, homac has a home goods section with low-budget furniture.
