Check Raymour and Flanigan.

When we were looking for a dining room set a few months ago we went there and saw a few nice sets.  They also offer a 5 year protection plan that's pretty good too.

We ended up getting a set from crate and barrel and spend a whole lot more than what we thought we were going to spend, but the difference in quality was highly evident.

We also checked out bob's discount furniture.  To me It looked like low quality stuff and didn't feel like it would last 12 months.

I got some furniture at Jordan's up in Avon. That's a huge store and has a 2nd hand warehouse full of stuff. I know there are other Jordan's stores closer, but this one may be worth the trip.

Since you just bought a new home, I'm assuming money is tight?  Why not try to find some good used furniture on craigslist?  Unless you have the cash to pay the retail markup on brand new stuff.   Also see if any of your family has furniture they don't need.  It might take some time to find good deals, but you can't expect to furnish the place overnight!

Money isn't that tight. I plan to furnish the house within a week I hope anyway. Probably get some lower quality stuff at first.
