    Why don't you just go to IKEA and get them a new table and chairs. I am sure you can pick up a decent one cheaply.

    Be careful with Ikea kitchen chairs - the backs have just fallen off all of ours after only a year! Bad design - the joint where the back joins the legs is placed right next to the seat, just where all the strain lies as you sit back. Beware!!!

    Find a charity shop - or at the very least a small local retailer to spend your money at.

    Our charity shop has a furniture warehouse now and I'm off there myself shortly to see what bargains they've got in.

    We bought some cheap ones while we were students (Stefan, still only £13) and they are still going strong!!!!! IT was more than 4 years ago!
