I moved out of the parents house (I'm a big boi now!!) and I need some furniture.
But I want to keep it SIMPLE. I prefer to be as mobile as possible. I.e. no big ass bed, desk, etc.
As for a bed, I'm just going to buy 3 or 4 of those egg carton foam things, lay a couple sleeping bags on top, put some sheets over it and call it a day. For dresser, I'll get one of those 3-shelf plastic bins.
I've seen some simple things at Ikea and Walmart for a desk. Standard stuff, maybe a drawer or two, but that's it.
Should I spend some time on craigslist to find a desk for cheap, or just go to the store and pick something up right away? Assembly would be best because I drive a Civic and don't really want to rent a truck to pick up a desk.
Edit:
I ended up getting a 4' folding table from Staple for 50 bucks.
I went to Wally World and got 2 of those plastic drawer carts for 40 bucks. Light, easy to move, great for shorts/tshirts/undergarments.
As for the bed, ATOT was right. A second night of sleeping on my "egg crate setup" has me waking up tired as as a mofo. I went to Ikea last night and saw the Dalselv Full Frame. It pretty much does everything I would need it to. However, I don't really get the headboard. Wtf is that for?
I also saw this Nomad Full Frame on Amazon, which is more appealing but pricier. The thing I like about this is that all the reviews were great, especially since assembly requires screws going into metal holes. The Dalselv at Ikea has you screwing into wood in some places, requiring you to either bore a hole or risk the wood cracking with re-assembly.
