There's a certain kind of wood from India (acacia I think) that a lot of new hardwood furniture is built with. I've seen it everywhere from Home Goods to West Elm to Crate and Barrel. If you seek it out, you'll get good, modern looking hardwood furniture at a good price. I find the way hardwood ages over time (it won't be pristine forever) to be preferable, and the ability to pay somebody to refinish it one day is a nice perk.
