I just saw a post that made me think of this, but I am def not above taking furniture (non-cloth) from near dumpsters and the side of the road. Some of my best finds, like my solid oak coffee table, were 100% free because of that. People toss good stuff
And just to emphasize, I will NEVER grab a couch, recliner, mattress, or other absorptive furniture item from anywhere but a store bc god knows what’s in there
