Have you tried Freecycle? Plenty of people give away good furniture they no longer need. Definitely worth a try.

HUFFS in accy , you can get a lot of stuff for just a small donation and they deliver too

Heres a link for HUFS (hyndburn used furniture)....

Hyndburn Used Furniture Store

Re: furniture needed, cheap or free!
 

check everything they fetch you, half the stuff i got was broke!

Re: furniture needed, cheap or free!
 

I have a very comfortable chair. It would be fine with a cheap throw over on it. You would need a small van or estate car to collect and we are in Wilpshire Blackburn

You could also try ringing Maundy Relief. They help people on benefits etc I think. Might be worth a try.

Re: furniture needed, cheap or free!
 

Maundy relief send you to Hufs.. If Hufs dont have what you need then Dorothy may be able to it for get you but you have to try Hufs first.

Ah right sorry I didn't know that.

I think they have just opened a furniture shop on Abbey Street. Not been in it just saw it when drove past the other day.

Re: furniture needed, cheap or free!
 

oh yeah, like a second hand/ charity shop, looked pretty good. Hufs will be cheaper but i wouldnt but electricals from them.

oh, another thing about hufs.... check everything you asked for has been delivered, i had 4 things missing.

I went to huffs once when I wanted a cheap suite, never been back since and wouldn't go again.

Re: furniture needed, cheap or free!
 

you gotta check that the stuffs ok...... some of the sofas were mouldy and damp cos they kept in that big warehouse thingydo...

my table,vacuum and drawers were broke. my fridge was a freezer... i didnt get either mattress i asked for or the bedroom furniture.

Re: furniture needed, cheap or free!
 

Exactly. When I went the stuff was disgusting and I wouldn't set foot in the place again. I'm far from a snob but I wouldn't have let my dog sleep on the stuff I saw.

Did you ring up and complain? Surely if you paid for the stuff then they should have brought it??

Re: furniture needed, cheap or free!
 

yeah i did...... they didnt have the stuff i asked for so i ended up with other stuff.... the replacement table fell to pieces a few weeks ago!

Re: furniture needed, cheap or free!
 

I think its quite unfair if you're complaining about the quality of stuff from HUFS. They are a charity and selling used items for an extremely good price. They cannot control the items that are donated. There are many used furniture stores that operate as a business and make much more profit.

The items that were missing, well yes, that is a problem but if they were replaced, then thats something.

I do think credit should go to places like this that do help people, and I know many people that were extremely happy and grateful to HUFS.
