A lot of IKEA stuff is at a really nice price point, but I tend to avoid buying anything from them that involves wood. The particle-board composites they use are so heavy that their furniture becomes impractical to actually move around (and for someone who moves frequently, this is a major drawback). For bookcases and dressers, I usually try to find something made out of pine (or some light hardwood). You can get them from unfinished furniture outlets for a very decent price, and they look quite attractive, even if you don't finish them.
