yep, IKEA is a good place for stuff like that, and you can typically find some good deals in the "as is " department...its where they sell all of their floor models for something ridiculous like 50 percent off. When I worked at the IKEA in Pittsburgh, one of my coworkers got a leather sofa for a hundred bucks.

I don't know whether Dane Design exists outside of OKC, but if they do, that's a good place to go.
eta: Never mind, they're only in OKC.
We don't really get national chains here.

Guys -
I've been through all the "first-tier" places like IKEA - it's not like I didn't do any research here - and while I like some of the IKEA stuff, I'm very picky (because I'm kind of a douche bag) and would like some more options - anything else similar?
mu_agd -
The West Elm stuff is pretty solid - drop me an IM and we'll discuss, thanks though, that's the type of place I'm looking for.

I was going to mention West Elm -- I love what I've seen in their catalogs, although I haven't purchased anything from them yet. Design Within Reach is HOT, but, uh, only within your reach if you want to shell out some $$$. Mod Livin' is a cute local place out here, but their website says free shipping for most stuff over $100, so that might be an option.
I have a catalog at home that has some funky, modern, inexpensive stuff -- I can't remember what the hell it's called but I'll let you know.

I don't know where all you looked in the DM, but did you check out this place?
Projects Furniture They're probably $$$$ but some of their stuff looks cool.

Places I like...
Z Gallerie: www.zgallerie.com
Scan Design: www.scan-design.com
Did you also look at chains like Macy's, Dania, Thomasville? You should also look at furniture consignment shops locally if you have them...some great finds in those.
