Does anyone go to the salvation army for furniture?

Question

I live in the ny area and I recently went to a salvation army thrift store and they just got a brand new couch and a queen anne chair. My mom bought it for her living room and its really nice.

They have beautiful furniture and there reasonable.

Just for these two pieces the chair was $100 and the leather sofa was $350 which was by action by lane which they sell at macys. You should go if you don't know but If you do go tell me why

Answer 1

I love thrift stores!  Most people think they have dirty clothes for needy people, but I love the vintage pieces I sometimes acquire there.  As long as it doesnt smell or is stained, furniture from the Salvation Army is the way to go!

Answer 2

I ALWAYS buy used furniture, but, sadly, I am afraid of the Salvation Army stuff.  I ONLY buy from used furniture stores that can PROVE to me the stuff has been fumigated.

Answer 3

I am an interior designer, and a frequent shopper at the salvation army. I go for furniture pieces, because they get them from estate sales, and when there is a vacant apartment, and things like that. The furniture is always in great condition or just needs alitte tender loving care. I have bough pieces, repaired them and gave them as gifts to clients to complete a room! They love them, and I love salvaging perfectly good furniture....also it's a great "green" solution! I'm glad you asked!

Answer 4

Clean furniture well for bed bugs. Especially in fabric or beds, mattresses. You can get good deals at some of them. Just clean well...
