If you can find a local owned furniture store, they usually have good stuff. This place linked above is just a place. You can try googling solid wood furniture as well. Should get you something closer to you. Since I don't have anyone to really disapprove, I tend to shop the antique stores for my pieces. If you don't mind a little refinishing, or everything matching just so, you can do fine shopping around.
An example, this teachers desk from the 1940's. $300 in 1998 from an antique store in the Twin Cities no less. (they tend to be a bit more proud than the stores around here.) Found the file cabinet a few years later to match. Less than $200 for that one. I did have fun picking paint off the brass handles and out of the locks!
I stay far away from assemble your own stuff. I know everyone claims to be so green using all of the sawdust and the squeal, but your furniture just won't last doing it this way. I guess if you're young, it looks better than pine boards on cement blocks.
