Default Perth cheap furniture?

Hi, anyone know a good place to pickup cheap furniture, I am after just about everything to get me started again in perth.

I have tried ikea but their cheap stuff seems rubbish, their cheap $129 sofa for example has a $90 delivery fee and I think it could be the most uncomfortable thing I have ever seen.

Anyone know a good place for cheap furniture?

Super A Mart, Pine Warehouse, Freedom Furniture. Cheap price is going to be cheap quality, though.

Instead of paying a delivery fee, why not rent a truck for a day and pick it up yourself? You can rent a moving van from Budget for cheap enough, run around to all the stores where you've bought stuff and bring it home in a day.

There may be shitter sofas than what Ikea sells, but not many. You dodged a bullet.

Go 2nd hand. That's what I did when I bought my first place.

I am not a fan of the swedish hell. But, they do an excellent starter kit for the kitchen. Has pretty much everything you need from pans to knives to even a garlic press for about $200.
