<p>Living in the apartments this year, and i'm trying to find a desk, chair, lamp, and other home/office type furnishings. Can anyone recommend any nearby stores for those things? There's lots of high end places around westwood, but i'm mostly just looking for a store that's inexpensive and has a big selection of products, like ikea or something.</p>
<p>Try Target</p>
<p>Target is good for new. Also try thrift shops, council shops, Good Will, etc. There’s a good one at the southwest corner of Santa Monica & Veteran; some on Sawtelle just north of Santa Monica Blvd.; even Out of the Closet on Pico across from the Westside Pavillion. Also a few more heading west on Santa Monica. And finally, Wertz on Santa Monica by Broxton you can find some good stuff.</p>
<p>try craigslist, we found a lot of stuff through that</p>
