The last two pieces of furniture we got were from World Market and they are nice quality and have held up well.

The real expensive high use stuff we’ve gotten from Pottery Barn but that was years ago so now idea how the quality is these days.

Wayfair has plenty of options you just need to filter for stuff that isn't Ikea quality. They have a wide variety of quality levels so just be careful. Your mileage may vary for what you're actually looking for. I've liked them for some of my less expensive office furniture. With a small business account I was getting free shipping and a few other perks that didn't show up for my wife when she was looking for stuff for her office.

Yea that's exactly what I've been running in to. Pieces that are 3500$ are made from manufactured wood with 'real wood' paneling and shit.
It's all just jumped up Ikea trash and there's no shot I'm paying those prices for any of it.

Best bet may be to look up local woodshops in your area and just start asking for quotes on what you want. If you are in a big city you could even start at the local good wood supply store and ask for referrals of their customers.
Like the following shop in Dallas used to give referrals. They also offer a professional glue up and milling, if someone wanted to get a top done from them, then put some legs on it and stain/finish it themselves.

If you want to get an idea of the current material costs, this company in Ft. Worth has a rather sizable stock of quality woods:

When I bought my house 30 years ago I went to a high end furniture place. Well high end for the area I lived in. I won a $5,000 credit for buying a $100 raffle ticket to a St. Jude house give away. I bought two chairs. I went in there some time ago and it was like you said, low end stuff made with particle board and no telling what else of questionable source of origin.
