I don't live in Łódź, so can't offer precise indications, but for starters you can try google (type "meble" +"Łódź" in google.pl) or use my search results from the querry - link here to see the shops that have their articles displayed online.
Some basic vocabulary for you:
meble kuchenne - kitchen furniture
kuchnia - kitchen (this word also means oven, so you may see some kitchen appliances)
sypialnia - bedroom
łóżko - bed
jadalnia - dining room
salon - living room
stół - table
stolik - smaller (usually also lower) table
półka - shelf
regał na książki - bookshelf
krzesło - chair
fotel - armchair
wymiary - dimensions
długość - length
szerokość / głębokość - width / depth
wysokość - heighth
oszklony - with glass
If you need info on materials (for example types of wood), ask.

a useful thing in small Polish appartments: ława - (don't know the English word, it's a table-like furniture, but it has always lower legs, and sometimes it's called "ławostół" or "ława rozkładana" then it's expandable so you can lift the top and also make it broader, then it looks almost like a normal size/heighth table
some pictures:
simple type (fixed dimensions):

ława rozkładana (expandable) and/or podnoszona (lifted)

some bigger stores I can think of:

Domus, Piotrkowska 190
Black Red White, Brukowa, very close to Aleksandrowska
and I heard there's something big in M1, Brzezińska 27/29

If you need any household facilities, I recommend Art-Dom, Kasprzaka 6

There is no doubt that Poland has become a leader in furniture production over the past few years. This is one of the few products that Poland can boast internationally even though they are not always directly associated with Poland.

Well most tom, dick or Harry's can become rich off he back of a scam. The responsibility remains in the product name, reliability and durabilty of the product.

I have spent around 200,000 PLN on furniture in Poland the first 30,000 PLN being on Bodzio, never again. I have spent and continue to use Black, Red, White for certain materials and only when they have discounts but for all round quality and price Ikea is my first choice.

I doubt that you'll find many manufacturers of low-cost furniture who build a long lasting product.

Ikea make furniture that can be affordably replaced at a future date. They don't want customers to visit the store once in a lifetime.

In my opinion Ikea furniture is probably built to withstand 5-10yrs fair-wear-and-tear.
