Answer 1

Save them for your Grand Children.

Answer 2

You have some great ideas already, using the chairs for shelves can look great!   I have used one of my childs tables as a coffee table in gameroom - looks great and fun to talk about when we all get together.  (my children are now grown)  I have a coffee table that I had when my children were very young.  We were taking it to goodwill when I noticed that on the underside they had created years of artwork!   I took off the legs and hung the flat table as art in family room.  If not in great condition converting and using chairs as planters is an awesome look!

Answer 3

there are companies who take old ugly furniture that no one uses no more and turns it into a new furniture there are plenty i saw my neighbor getting the junk out i dont know the companies name but just search the internet or ask on yahoo answers! :)

Answer 4

Look for your local Freecycle group and give them to someone who needs them for their children.  We get rid of loads of stuff that way and feel good about it too.

(Google freecycle)

Answer 5

Take them to a charity shop. Someone will be really pleased with them plus you will be helping the charity, cancer research or Sally Army to name two.

Answer 6

Give them to Good Will or sell them to make you some fast cash .
