WANTED: Pieces of furniture to re-upholster and donate to charity

Recommended Posts

Hello! This is Annie's husband Ben. Do you have any pieces of furniture kicking around that you don't want any more? I'm looking for:

- Furniture that will fit in the boot of a car

- Something that needs some work to it - for example, re-caning, renewing fabric

- Possible examples would be a chair or footstool or something of a similar size.


My Mum is starting an upholstery course, and is looking for interesting pieces to practice on.


She's envisaging taking free bits of furniture that are sitting around in a corner, or that you're thinking of chucking out. She would do it up and then donate it to charity.


Let me know if you have anything we might be interested in! If you can email pictures, do send them over to [email protected]


Thank you!

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
