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.

 

Dallas Mattress Disposal

When it is time to get rid of some furniture your options are pretty limited. Essentially you can donate it, store it or trash it. On the donating front there are many wonderful organizations that will do what they can to pick up that furniture from your home. The Dallas Furniture Bank is a prime example. They have been collecting usable furniture for years and making it available to individuals and families who might need a little help turning an empty house into a livable home.

Although this is a great service there are some caveats. First of all, they have the right to refuse unusable furniture items. That makes sense. If they don’t think a sofa or table is in good condition how can they be expected to pass that onto someone else? They also can only receive a limited number of furniture items. When they hit their quota they stop doing the pickups. Finally, there is a list of items they won’t take under any circumstances. These include:

  • Large Appliances (Washers, Dryers, Refrigerators)
  • King size mattresses or King size bed sets
  • Furniture that is broken beyond repair, heavily stained or torn, or affects hygiene or health concerns (e.g., cigarette smoke, urine, pet hairs, dry rot or mold)
  • Toys, Books, Dishes/Kitchen Utensils, Bath Towels
  • Kitchen Cabinets, Ceiling Fans, other items that attach to building structures
  • Commercial Office Furniture (e.g., cubicles, very large desks)
  • Water beds

If you have a piece of furniture that falls into the above category, you might be stuck with it. Without the means to toss it out that item can be stored somewhere around your home. Usually this will mean shoving it in a garage or down in the basement or in a spare room nobody is using. Maybe it’s an old mattress that is too lumpy to sleep on. Or maybe it’s a sofa with broken legs. Now those things are just taking up valuable space in your home. This brings up the third and best option: trashing it. That can be easily accomplished when you hire Junk King Dallas Fort Worth as your junk removal specialist.

Junk King is the Dallas based business that loves collecting junk. They don’t hold onto it very long. That’s because by the time Junk King gets a hold of your stuff, it is meant for the trash heap. They’ll be able to load up that lumpy mattress or busted sofa right onto the back of their truck and drive it off into the sunset. You won’t have to worry about throwing out your back; the Junk King Dallas crew does all the lifting. Whenever possible, consider donating but when it is junk call Junk King DFW.

Dallas Furniture Disposal

Nebraska is coming to Dallas. That would be the Nebraska Furniture Mart which just turned the shovel on construction of a Texas size 560,000 square foot showroom/warehouse at the Colony just outside of Dallas. Competition was fierce among various retail sites not only here in Texas but in Tennessee and Missouri as well but the Colony won out. This is the new shopping complex located along State Highway 121 that hopes to inject a serious boost into the local economy. With over 433 acres of retail space, there will be plenty of opportunities for other stores and restaurants to join in with the Nebraska Furniture Mart.

Now, before you rush out to start shopping for new furnishings you’re going to have to wait a bit. The Mart isn’t going to be open until 2015. However, that shouldn’t put you off the idea of refurnishing your home or apartment. In fact, there are many bargains to be had not only in the many established Dallas furniture outlets but also online. Yes, you can buy a sofa over the internet and have it delivery right to your door. In many cases, an online retailer will offer you a better deal because they’ll toss in the shipping charges for free.

Exactly how long have you been sitting on that sofa of yours? What kind of shape is the easy chair in? And can we talk mattress? If your mattress is over five years old then you’re in serious need of replacement. Perhaps you want to replace those items before the holiday season kicks into high gear. You could also look at a new living room set as an early Christmas present. Why wait?

The most important thing about furniture shopping is showing up with the right measurements. Those measurements should not only be for the space your new furniture will occupy but also your door and hallway. Just because you got your old sofa into the house is no guarantee the design of your new model will fit the same way. It would be horrible if your new couch showed up after you got rid of the old couch and you couldn’t bring it in.

Speaking of getting rid of the old couch, have you thought about Junk King Dallas? Junk King will be a huge asset when it comes to old furniture disposal. When you hire Junk King Dallas you will be hiring a responsible and courteous crew who know the right way to lift a heavy object. They’ll also have a big enough truck to cart way all your discarded furniture along with any other junk item you want to get rid of. Don’t second guess; when it comes to junk removal there is only one king: Junk King!
