If you know how to repair and refinish furniture, it is best that you purchase them from antique stores. Modern furniture, like that of Ikea, are made of either chip board or MDF and the first touch of water that gets through the veneer or formica that is used to cover them will make the board expand, sort of like explode (but with no bang). Furniture made as late as the 1970/1980 are solid wood for the most part. The antique furniture is stronger, made of better materials and made by better craftsmen.

Thrift store. When I bought my first house my parents went to a couple and bought me a dining room table w/5 chairs, a nightstand, and a headboard for $100.
