Staging a home

When most of you stage a home how do you go about obtaining the furniture?

Do you have a set you always use and put it in storage when you're in between homes?

Do you buy new furniture or scavenge craigslist?

I figure when you flip a home it should most definitely have furniture in it but I'm curious the strategies some of you have used to get and store your furniture.

I buy everything at target- mainly online because I'm lazy. I used to have my contractors or a handy man assemble everything. Now I ship it directly to the person who moves the furniture for me.

I started with 1 house worth of furniture- 1 living room set, 1 dining room set, 2 bathrooms, assorted small stuff, wall hangings. And have kept acquiring as my business grew. Now I have about 5 houses worth of stuff.

I keep it all in a storage unit and found someone on craigslist (which will take some trial and error) who moves it around for me for about $250 per move.
