We have been flooded with donations of furniture recently, including dining tables, end tables, desks, chairs, bookshelves, stereo cabinets, entertainment centers, dressers, night stands, file cabinets, bed frames, and head boards. So there is a great selection of unique pieces right now… AND you still have one day left to save 40% during our furniture flash sale!
Below is just a taste of what’s in store for you… but keep in mind that furniture goes VERY quickly during our flash sales. It actually made it difficult to finish this post – our awesome intern kept going into the warehouse to take pictures, but by the time she got back to her computer to upload them, some of the items would sell and more would take their place. So, if something catches your eye, come in right away!
