I am always wary of cheap dishware and glasses, due to the possibility of lead in the glaze or glass. We buy our dish sets, cutlery, knives, chopping boards, etc. from Costco, and I think they look nice and the pricing is good. We have duplicate sets in case of breakage.
For glasses, we do actually supply quality wine glasses, due to being in wine country. You can get some decently priced crystal ones from Winners/Homesense that aren't too expensive. Our everyday water glasses are from Ikea, and again, I keep spares in case of breakage.
For small appliances, I go with whatever is reasonably inexpensive but well-rated on Amazon.
For furniture and decor, I have gotten a lot of items from Kijiji, which is a Canadian buy and sell page. Our gorgeous kitchen table was originally about $1200 from Urban Barn, and I bought it for $250 including 4 chairs. I love that set so much. We have also bought other non-soft-furnished items on there. We purchase our mattresses from Costco: again, the pricing is excellent, you still get brand names, and we have a points account that means we don't pay for our membership.
Costco is generally my go-to for most stuff.
