Cheap but decent kid furniture?

NicoleWINicoleWI member

We're moving and will finally start using our nursery furniture for DD2, who is still in our room in a PNP right now. However, when she is out of the crib, we'd then want to use that set for DS, and we have a different (white hand-me-down cute set) that we would later use for DD2. So, for now, for DS I need a cheap bed/dresser that we'd use for just a couple years until he moves into the converted nursery furniture. 

Any recommendations? Second-hand would be great but not sure when I have time to check out consignment stores or rummage sales, so it might just be easier to get something new.

    Both of my kids sleep in beds from Wal-mart.  They both have "captain's" style beds, with a bookshelf at the top and drawers underneath.  Both are made of composite material, but have stood up well. (Note -- I allow NO jumping at all!)

    DD has been in hers since she was 6, so about seven years, and her bed is basically in pristine condition.  They cost about $130 each.

    If I was in your situation, I'd try Walmart or Target.

    Why buy another set if you already have the white hand me down one?

    Ikea has nice inexpensive stuff. Check out the malm set.

    Value City is where DD's bed and dresser combo came from and it was cheap and very good condition, although I don't know if you have Value City in your area as I am not sure where it extends to.

    We got our son's bed from Ikea. We didn't want to spend a lot of money on it because he's really hard on things. He's had it for almost a year and it's holding up very nicely.
