Where do you find beautiful and inexpensive furniture online? Someday I hope to be able to purchase my goods from experienced carpenters and furniture makers, but until then your suggestions are appreciated.

I think you need to define affordable a bit more clearly. DWR is not what I would call affordable, but it's definately beautiful... but, maybe for you - Eames is affordable! :-)
I'll probably get roasted for this, but if you're looking for pretty swank-looking furniture that will last you for 5 years or so - hit up IKEA. It may be buil-your-own, but it looks sweet and is much better quality than the stuff you'd find at most local stores for the same cost.

Ligne-Roset is anything but affordable. What those people are asking for the Peter Maly bed is criminal.

A02 is right, IKEA rocks for affordable furnishings... that is if you live within driving distance of one of their stores. They'll eat you up on shipping but it's because they use third party shipping (like FedEx or UPS) this keeps thier costs down because they don't have to pay for an "IKEA delivery service."

I called IKEA to get a shipping quote for a 134lbs. sofa. The sofa costs $199 and the shipping is $195.
But, as the others have said, it's a swanky looking sofa for less than $500. Most similar sofas I've seen locally hover around the $1k range.

you could do what i did and rent a van for a day and test your luck with the swanky looking sofa.
