What Can You Do with Old Furniture?

 

Got a lot of old furniture sitting around that you just don’t use? Is it in bad condition, with stains, rips, and other damage? Maybe you shoved it in the basement or in a guest room. Some of this furniture may have come from your parents because they didn’t want it. Maybe you inherited it from family members and haven’t had the heart to get rid of it yet. No matter what the reason is, if you’ve got old furniture, you need to figure out what to do with it. Otherwise, it’s just taking up space you could use for something else.

If you decide to get rid of your old furniture, Junk King of Irving is here to help. We will haul away anything you don’t want, including furniture, old appliances, electronics, and even construction debris and yard waste. We do understand, though, that you may have some emotional connections to the old furniture you have. Here are a few things to consider before you call us.

Is the Furniture Unique or Have Family History?

 

You might have a chair with a broken leg, but if that chair was made by a great-grandfather and passed down through the family, it’s special. You’re not going to want to get rid of it, and you shouldn’t. It’s irreplaceable. It’s a piece of furniture that has a story to it, and you should tell that story to your kids and grandkids so they know a little more about the family. 

 

Unique furniture is something else you might want to hold on to just because you may never be able to replace it. Furniture that was handmade or is done in a non-traditional style may not be easy to find ever again. Anything that has been personalized is also going to be very, very difficult to replace. Keep this in mind when you’re evaluating your furniture and making decisions about it. You can always look online to see if you can find similar pieces and how much it would cost for you to replace the item. 

 

Can the Furniture Be Repaired?

 

Is the furniture damaged so badly that it simply can’t be fixed? If so, it’s time to call Junk King Irving. However, if the damage is mostly cosmetic or if it’s something that can easily be fixed, you have to ask yourself if it’s worth repairing. For those special family items, it likely is. For a bedframe you bought at a department store a few years ago, it’s probably not. Sometimes, the cost of really good, quality repairs is high enough that it’s better to replace the item. This is especially true if you have other issues with the piece of furniture, like the style doesn’t match or it doesn’t look as good as it once did.

 

If you have antique furniture or a piece that is very ornate, you may need to reach out to a furniture repair expert who specializes in that style or type. You might find that the cost is more than you anticipated because of the amount of work. For example, if you had an ornately carved footboard for your bed that had posts on either side and one post was broken off, the expert has to not only repair that, but they also have to carve the post to match the other one. That can take a lot of work. 

 

You can DIY some furniture repairs, but often those are the items that it’s just cheaper and easier to replace. Do keep in mind the amount of time you might spend on repairs and on whether or not those repairs are going to make the piece last for years. Valuable antique furniture, naturally, may be worth repairing, even if you do have to hire a specialist. You don’t want to just toss these items in the landfill.

 

Most furniture repair specialists handle transporting the piece to their workshop for repairs and returning it. Some may actually be able to make minor repairs at your home, so they don’t even have to move the item. 

 

Does Anyone Else Want it?

 

If you have furniture that’s in good condition that you don’t simply want to toss, you can ask if anyone you know wants it. If it’s furniture that has been in your family for years, one of your relatives may like to have it. To avoid a family incident, you should always ask if anyone wants grandpa’s chair or your great-aunt’s wardrobe before you do anything with it. 

 

Even if it’s not an heirloom, someone might need the pieces of furniture you don’t want. If your kids have recently moved out, they might need some additional furniture in their apartment or house. Someone who is expecting a new baby might be in need of a dresser or rocking chair for the nursery. Passing along a used-but-still-usable piece of furniture can be very helpful to those who are on a strict budget and may not otherwise be able to afford to buy furniture. 

 

Can You Resell it?

 

Reselling furniture is often a little difficult, but it can be worth it. First, the furniture typically has to be in very good condition. No one is going to want to buy a sofa with stains and rips all over it, even if it is priced very low. If your furniture is in really good condition, you may be able to sell it yourself by posting online or by working through a consignment shop. Many consignment shops will want to inspect the pieces first and will not accept anything that doesn’t meet their standards. Some pieces can be almost impossible to resell, such as used mattresses. 

 

Note that if you’re going to sell the piece yourself, it does mean you’ll have to allow potential buyers to come to your home. If you’re not comfortable with that, you may not be able to sell the item. You could load up small items such as a table and chairs, dresser, or bedframe and meet a buyer in a more public place, but that means you have to have a truck. You also have to be able to lift the items up into it. The buyer could always refuse to buy the piece if it’s not in the condition they expected, too, which means you could do all of that work for nothing. Be sure to consider all of this before listing furniture for sale online.

What About Donating?

 

Many people do look into donating their old furniture. Again, the furniture needs to be in fairly good condition. It should be free of smells and be safe to use. One roadblock you may face to donating is that you may have to take the furniture to the donation center yourself. This means you’ll need a truck. If you have a lot of furniture you’re donating, you may have to make multiple trips. 

 

Did you know that Junk King will donate anything we pick up that’s still usable? When we pick up junk, we pull out anything we can donate and redirect it to one of the local organizations we work with. 

 

What we can’t donate, we’ll recycle. While old furniture often can’t be recycled as it is, most pieces do have some components that can be recycled. We’ll pull out these components and make certain they get to the right recycling centers

 

Get Rid of Any Old Furniture that Isn’t Useful

 

When your old furniture has reached the end of its life, it’s time to get rid of it. It’s unfortunate, but sometimes there’s no other option. There’s no reason to keep furniture that’s broken or that will simply take up space in your basement or garage. When furniture has reached the end of its life, Junk King Irving is here to help. Getting furniture to the landfill can be a challenge. You have to be able to get it out of your home, first, and then you have to have a truck to load it in. We handle all of this hard work ourselves, so you don’t need to worry about being able to move heavy furniture or get it out of your house. 

 

How Does it Work?

 

We do everything possible to make getting rid of junk easy and affordable. All you have to do for a free, no-obligation quote is give us a call. We can often give you a quote over the phone for standard pieces of furniture. If you have a lot of stuff or some unique pieces that might be larger or heavier than normal furniture, we might need to come out and do an in-person quote. If we do, we can usually start the job right away if you accept the estimate. 

 

Don’t want to talk to someone? You can also text us pictures and a description of the furniture you want us to haul off. Our online price estimator can also give you a ballpark figure for basic pieces of furniture. We’ll always do an in-person final estimate when we arrive and know exactly what we’re dealing with. If you’d like to get the process started or have any questions, call us at 1-888-888-JUNK.
