Milk crates wouldn't be too bad. My parents, after deciding that the olive green couch they had dragged around for 20 years and 6 kids had teethed on was not in good enough shape to move it from Texas to New Mexico, created a living room set by stacking boxes (that they never do get around to unpacking) in the shape of a couch and chairs, and even a coffee table, and throwing sheets over them. They do have real furniture now, inherited from relatives who were getting new furniture and donated their old stuff.

Congrats on the furniture, Dex! A lot of our stuff is not worth the hassle of moving, so we might be doing without until we can save up for something. We don't even have a sofa because the old house only has room for a love seat. Well, there is a hide-a-bed sofa in my shed, but it isn't worth moving. The new house has a much bigger living room, and I am looking forward to maybe trying to do some real decorating for once.
