New York

Looking for affordable furniture in NYC? We’ve got you covered. This guide will help you fill your apartment in New York with furniture you will absolutely love without breaking the bank. After all, for many of us, living in the Big Apple puts us on a budget. So for those that yearn for the stylish vibe of Manhattan but are on a budget, you’ve come to the right place.

The Stylish Center-of-it-All

Well, for starters, let’s set up some ground rules. We want affordable furniture, not cheap furniture. We want something we can afford, but hey it has to fit in with our style, right? For many living of us living here, New York City is an adopted home. And while the siren call of adventure was probably one reason to pack up and make the big move, it probably isn’t the reason we’ve stayed. Especially when you factor in that strange smell of a packed subway car in rush hour. Our big motivation to be here is to live in the hippest, most stylish place in the world.

Moving here means access to it all: the clothes, the trendy boutiques, the shopping, as well as the cafes and hip restaurants. So of course we all want some chic modern furniture for our tiny NYC apartment. Therein lies the problem. Even if prices in some neighborhoods have started to level off, and New York City is somehow shrinking, we still shell out most of our money on rent.

But if you’ve lived in New York for any amount of time, you know that money is no obstacle to having nice things. After you find some room in your budget, you’ll just need to track down some deals. Thankfully, NYC is all about deals. All you need is a little knowledge and you can find ridiculous prices on the finest luxury furniture. So we are doing our part and putting up this no nonsense guide to affordable furniture we carry. All these pieces are under $200.
