Where should I shop for furniture in the bay area?

I'm moving to Mountain View, CA (the one near Santa Clara) in a few
weeks and would like to furnish an apartment quickly for a reasonable price. 
Where should I go first?

Dear dca:

Thank you for your question. I've found a couple of places where you
can get furniture on the cheap in or near the Mountain View area.

If you really want to get furniture for a reasonable price, you could
always check out the garage and moving sales going on every day in the
Southbay (Sunnyvale, Mountainview) areas. Listings are updated every
day:

Since 1954, D & H Furniture has been a good place to look for new and
used furniture - dining room sets, bedroom sets, bookcases, tables,
etc. Buy and sell. Open Tues-Sat 9-5, Sat 9-4

Thanks blader, this will save me some time.  The most useful answer
was the Ethan Allen -- it's not the cheapest but it's conveniently
located and I can look through their online catalog long before I get
to town.
