It took us 3 hours to get through the store. It's an amazing store and there are so many things to stop and look at that you totally loose track of time.
After three hours we decided to go with a birch colored furniture and chose two styles (1) the Billy bookcase which is 84" tall and (2) the chunky yet durable Expedite furniture.
The Billy shelf is great b/c it allows for storage in a six shelf bookcase. I don't have a ton of space, but I could always go "up" so I chose the tallest bookcase I could find. I purchased four of them.
The next stage will be unpacking boxes and loading the shelves.
If you are setting up your own classroom and you can't afford $500 then you could visit yard sales or post on Facebook and other network sites that you are looking for furniture. Keep your eyes open at thrift stores too. I had a friend find a couch for $16 and a her neighbor was throwing away a bookcase. She upcycled both and they are adorable in her new room. Just keep an open mind.
