IKEA furniture is actually pretty good. And they offer delivery and set-up.
I'm a Craigslist/Facebook marketplace furniture person. Especially for wood items like dining table, dresser, coffee table. Sometimes you can catch someone moving and get a bunch of their stuff.
Yup.
Roys Furniture in city - Ikea prices, wider variety
1. Moving temporarily for a few months now and then decide if I want to continue long term.
2. Have explored renting vs buying furniture. Renting seems more expensive even for short term.
3. Want to get nice but not very expensive furniture because I’m looking at this as a temporary move for now.
4. Need to furnish 1BR apartment. Bed(complete mattresses pillows etc), Couch(complete set with coffee tables etc.), Desk and Comfortable chair at the minimum. This is all to start with. I’ll go for more stuff as and when I feel the need for it.
Are there any local stores I should explore? Or the usual furniture brands? Need some help so that I can start thinking in those directions.

Facebook marketplace.
Check out Furniture Outlet on Fullerton and Elston. Its an outlet for Value City brand and has some good prices for decent furniture.
As a former mattress salesman, can confirm that Costco sells mattresses far cheaper than the local mattress stores (for non-MAP brands; Stearns and Foster is the same everywhere but the Sealy ones were a deal, I'm sure their foam mattresses are also good values).
Quality of furniture tends to be good, but I can't speak to the deal/value factor on that front
Ikea
Not a used furniture fan. Want to buy new. Not a big fan of IKEA quality. Might consider IKEA for desk and chair but not for bed and mattress. Please let me know if you know of local stores that can do quick delivery. Not looking for very high end. Just something with decent quality at reasonable price.
