If you're considering donating furniture...
Please remember that the items you are donating will go into another family's home. Ask yourself:
- Would I be embarrassed to give this to someone I know and love?
- Does this smell, is it broken, is it badly stained, or just plain gross?
- Would this fit in a small apartment?
