Where to Buy Furniture? (Filing Cabinets)

dannyman · October 2009

So, we've been to Ikea. It is what it is, for better and worse.

I have an Ikea table / legs thing that is missing one of these weird screws that only exists in the Ikea universe. I can go over there and see if they'll give me another screw, but plan B would be to buy a desk or, get a pair of filing cabinets (which we could use anyway) as a base for the desk.

Where would one go to purchase filing cabinets? Needn't be anything fancy: just sturdy and capable of holding files. Preferably somewhere that will deliver without charging huge moolah. (We have a car, but its a dinky Saturn.)

Thanks!

Subject: They have the screws

Ikea has all of the hardware in bins (near the returns area) that you can take for free. No lines!!!

Home Depot carries most Ikea hardware in the "hard to find hardware section".

Thanks for the advice!

I went back to Ikea Brooklyn and found the empty spare parts bins, then went to the warehouse section and found the needed part packaged with other parts I did not need. I then proceeded to engage in a "self service" action, and I'm hoping I did this in an obvious enough manner that someone else won't find themselves needing a spare part.

Next time I hit Home Depot, I'll check their hard to find section.

Best place to buy office furniture is Two Jakes in Williamsburg. They have dozens of used filing cabinets which they've salvaged from offices. Very high quality, low prices and they deliver. Plus lots of other hipster furniture:

I've bought a couple of things from them.
