I buy utility furniture at the thrift store. When I'm done with it, it goes back to the thrift store :-)

Last time I moved I found that thrift stores are very picky about what furniture they accept.

If I get it from the thrift store, it surely meets their criteria for donations. I'm a bit picky on what I select, too. For example, no upholstered stuff, because of possible bedbugs.

Take care of your furniture or give it away to those in need?

Tried that as well. They took a dining table with a few scratches in it, but no charity I talked to wanted bookshelves or TV stands/media benches.
