If these are not life changing sums of money to you, which I suspect is the case, concentrate on getting what she wants at the best price.
Pine is being given away, nobody wants it now. You'd get something really nice at auction for very little money if you can wade through the junk.
Beds are a notorious rip-off.In fact furniture generally, unless proper top makers, is invariably priced to be sold at half price if you know what I mean.
We've spent all our insurance money, including the contents pay out, on building the house so we will be refurnishing from IKEA (bedrooms probably) and/or the auctions.
Couldn't use it unfortunately but I saw a beautiful arts and crafts hall stand for a couple of hundred in Emmaus. I'll definitely be looking into the place at Banbury that Martin mentioned.
