While it might not be right for every room or every use, there are tons of things one can do with a used piece of furniture. Consider these four points when buying your next piece of furniture and why it should be used.For one, used furniture pieces are almost always less expensive than new- and you may even find a hidden treasure!! Here at ReStore we always have low prices! Not to mention the hidden colored dots that discounts furniture up to 50% off cutting your cost down ever more!Let's face it, they just don't build them like they used to! Many of the pieces you will find at major retailers have wood veneers and contain particle board. The quality of solid wood furniture is hard to beat and can stay beautiful for many years to come!If you crave that designer look but can't quite afford to do it within the budget, find a used piece with "good bones" and make it your own! From replacing cushions or refinishing an entire piece, customizing furniture can be fun and very rewarding. You will have your own one-of-a-kind!Environmentalism is the practice of improving the environment. Learning and teaching to conserve, recycle, and do anything that will keep the planet in a healthy state. At ReStore, we encourage everyone to reuse and recycle. Just think how much space furniture may take up and then imagine it in our landfills. The bigger the item you donate or purchase, the greater the impact on the environment!
