On a whim I searched for alternatives to Ikea and found a page that had some suggestions: 2modern, CB2 (apparently affiliated with Crate & Barrel), and Design Public. 2modern seems to be on par price-wise with Room and Board, and for that matter, Design Public is too. Not really alternatives....
The poster also noted Green Your Decor for eco-friendly furnishings.
I also found another expensive alternative: Design Within Reach. Seems like there are no cost-effective alternatives to Ikea, hence their appeal. When one can outfit an entire dining room for the price of just the table at Room and Board, it's just ridiculous. Well, this isn't going to be our final house, so why buy custom furniture for it, and some of Ikea's stuff isn't made in China, so I can at least not have that hanging over my head.
