Furnishing an apartment...
    #4566326 - 08/22/05 11:46 AM (18 years, 6 months ago)

So I'm back at school for the Fall...Me and some good friends just moved into our new place, which is the whole top floor of this old-ass apartment building. Its fucking HUGE and GORGEOUS....

The problem is, we have NO furniture. We have like, 3 chairs. And we have to furnish a living room, dining room, smoking room, and another room that I dont know WTF it is. Maid's Quarters, the landlord says.

Any suggestions for getting free furniture? Or really cheapo stuff?

Take your time.

Don't go buying a bunch of lame shit all at once.

You need to start scouring:

www.craigslist.org
the newspaper classifieds
Ikea
yard sales

college kids are expected to have very little, get
a couple important things and then just keep
your eyes peeled.

your parent's have any furniture they need to
replace?

sometimes my mom just needs a good excuse
to buy a new couch...AKA, I gave the old one
to my son.

goodwill is a start... I got some decent wood end tables and a coffee table there when I moved. I'd be a little skeptical of real furniture from there though, never know why it's at Goodwill.

goodwill, thriftshops, yard sales are all good places.

My girlfriend and I just moved into an apartment and we got a free kitchen table from my dad, a couch from her dad, a coffe table from my grandma, endtables from her mom, and tons of free stuff. We found an awesome desk on the side of the rode that said free. This is a huge metal desk they use in office bulidings, and it has a bulit in filing cabnit.

Say you'll come back when you can
Whenever your airplane happens to land
Maybe I'll be back here too
It all depends on what's with you

Hell yea, I didn't need anything fancy when I first moved on my own. Just searched through the thrift stores and garage sales. Found some awesome deals.

If you live in a college town, lots of students throw their couches out at the end of august (they graduate and move out of apartments), you can get something until you have money for a couch.

Yeah, just drive through a nicer neighborhood the day before trash/collection day and you can find some decent furniture sitting out on the curbs. Score!
But I always like the look and feel of a new place before you have any furniture in it. Sparse and serene, it's like a clean chalkboard waiting for some creative sofa placement. :smile:

Trashpicking is a good source of furniture.
