Plus, replacement parts are easy to source if needed.CB2/West Elm (Sales Section): Higher-end, but you can score deals on durable, modern furniture during sales.Local Furniture Stores or Liquidators: Sometimes you can find high-quality, durable items at reduced prices, especially in stores that cater to hotels or corporate rentals.Second-Hand/Consignment Stores: Gently used pieces, particularly mid-century modern, can be very durable and unique.I do NOT recommend Wayfair as I ordered from them and the furniture came back damaged and low quality.
