Furniture - where to buy?

I live in OC, CA and am looking for some coffee tables, etc. Looking for a modern look - any ideas? I'm open to finding some furniture districts too...

+1. And they set up their stuff in seperate rooms/backgrounds to give the consumer an idea of what they are buying.

Trying to stay away from IKEA. DWR is awesome, but way too expensive. I like Plummers.com type of stuff, trying to find something similar for other ideas.

if DWR is expensive (as it is for me as well) try West Elm. it's a subsidiary of pottery barn and thats where most of the furniture in my place is from. its pretty cheap and really good quality... REALLY good quality. not like IKEA garbage. there is a store in santa monica and in san diego. it's worth the trip.

I moved over the weekend and was just about to propose this same question myself.

Here's a few links I found:
http://www.comcore21.com/
http://www.allmodernfurniture.com/
http://www.inmod.com/ (these guys seem more expensive though)

Just a few.

Actually I've been looking for some patio furniture and finally found the perfect chairs on Amazon.com. I'd check them out too...
