Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has any furniture that you may want to pass on in any condition broken or not broken (drawers, headboards, cabinets, display stands etc). I lost my job recently and am struggling to find a new one so was hoping to do something to make some extra money for my 4yo and I. I'm going crazy doing nothing, I've never not worked or had a business so it would seriously help my mind too! Thanks in advance. 😊
