Furniture Sale, and MORE!

Not only is the house for sale, but so is the furniture! We are moving overseas, and so we cannot take it with us. OUR LOSS, YOUR GAIN.

YARD SALE on Saturday, May 26th from 8:00am to 2:00pm. FURNITURE, jewelry, books, VHS videos, decor, lawn care items, toys, antique dolls, My Loving Family doll house with furniture and dolls, etc. Below are a few photos of furniture items, but not all. These are just to give you an idea of what will be available. There will be other items not pictured below.

I will not hold items for people. First come, first buy. If you can give me cash in hand, it's yours. 

OBO means: Or Best Offer. We hope to sell these items at asking price, or to the next best offer we receive.

All money will go toward helping us get re-established (i.e. replace necessary furniture) in our home overseas. All totaled, it doesn't add up to much for helping get re-established. Even so, we can't take it with us. OUR LOSS, YOUR GAIN.

PICTURED BELOW: Dining Table w/leaf and 6 chairs, 2 Large Antique Dressers, Wingback Chair, Area Rug, 2 Nightstands, Queen Bed with topper, frame, and boxsprings, Handsome Desk with Hutch, Dark-Wood 2-drawer File Cabinet with key and lock, 2 quality ergonomic office chairs.

*********************************************************************************

Dining Room Set with 6 Chairs: Solid wood complete dining set with extension leaf and 6 chairs. Chair seats are easy to re-upholster, all you need is a staple gun; I'll show you how. Table can seat up to 8 comfortably with extension leaf. Table has lots of scratches and nicks. Chairs are in good condition, except for one arm chair of which an arm has been broken off. Break the other off and make it even, ha ha!
Paid $600 new. Asking $150, OBO.

Table shown below without the leaf insert, and with only 4 of the 6 chairs. You may test out the leaf insert and see all 6 chairs before purchasing.












*********************************************************************************

Painted White Antique Solid Wood Dresser: 3 Extra-Large drawers, 2 smaller top drawers for socks, underwear, and jewelry.  Drawers glide open and shut easily. Could use another coat of paint (I would suggest a semi-gloss latex spray paint, white or aqua teal, or whatever strikes your fancy). A solid, high-quality piece of furniture.
Asking $75, OBO.
*********************************************************************************


An original Ohio University Wingback Chair: from a previously University owned mansion on Elmwood. Needs re-upholstery. I've purchased a cushion and a golden-tan colored velvet to re-upholster, but never got around to it. For chair and all re-upholstery materials (over $75 cost of materials): Asking $35 for chair and materials, OBO.

***********************************************************************


Woven Wool Area Rug from Ikea: good condition, length 7' 10" x width 5' 7", rug is hand-woven and therefore unique, Woolmark 100% pure wool, naturally soil-repellent and very durable, flat-woven pattern is equally visible on both sides making it reversible, flat-woven is suitable for use in the dining room because it is easy to keep clean and chair can easily slide in and out.
Paid $199. Asking $35, OBO.

DRESSER: Solid Wood, Antique Waterfall Art Deco Gentlemen's Armoire Chifforobe. 
A chifforobe is a closet-like piece of furniture that combines a long space for hanging clothes (that is, a wardrobe or armoire) with a chest of drawers. Typically the wardrobe section runs down one side of the piece, while the drawers occupy the other side. The closet side is made of cedar, typically used for its fresh scent. We have put shelves in the closet side, to make more room for folded clothing--but they could easily be removed to restore the option to hang clothes. Two handles are loose/fallen-off, but are in the drawer, so could be re-attached, or replaced with new hardware. 


Drawers are deep and spacious. Glide open and shut beautifully, without catching. Completely solid wood, no particle board, no metal gliding racks. THIS IS A VERY HIGH-QUALITY PIECE OF FURNITURE. The likes of it sale between $200-$900 depending on level of repair and restoration.


Asking Price: $150, OBO.


 Tongue and Groove drawer joints.

*********************************************************************************

NIGHTSTANDS: Set of 2. Solid wood, a bit scratched and scuffed, could be re-stained or painted a unique decorative color (this is what I always intended to do, and replace the hardware). Drawers glide in and out beautifully without catching. No particle board, all solid wood. (If new, $99 each for solid wood construction, minimum.) Tongue and groove drawer joints.

Asking price: $20 total for the 2 together ($10 per each).
 Handle is loose, but inside of drawer. Could be re-attached, or replaced with new hardware.

*********************************************************************************
QUEEN BED: Simmons Beauty Rest Queen Mattress, Firm with built-in pillowtop and additional Memory Foam topper, split queen box-spring (this alone is worth $50, easier to get through small door-frames), metal bed frame, AND ADDITIONAL queen box spring (the original one, not split and therefore wouldn't fit through our smaller door frame).
Asking $60 total for all 5 pieces.


*********************************************************************************

Desk with Hutch:
Main Drawer slides out and folds down to reveal keyboard and mouse. Hutch has a total of 6 cubbies, two of which are drawers. Asking $60, OBO.


*********************************************************************************


2 Drawer File Cabinet with lock and key:
Attractive solid wood, not an ugly metal file cabinet. The hardware handles that came with the cabinet never fit well with the screws provided. Still has hardware, you can fix it yourself, or add your own hardware. Lock and key work perfectly to lock drawer with sensitive information or private belongings.
Asking $30, OBO.





*********************************************************************************

Office Chairs:

CHAIR #1:
Very similar to this Staples Office Chair, this was purchased 2 years ago, and very lightly used. It is big and tall, ergonomic, and very comfortable. Includes arm rests. Seat hight can be raised and lowered, and angle of recline can be increased or decreased. Purchased for $179. Asking price: $40, OBO.


CHAIR #2:
Very comfortable, adjustable chair. Seat height is adjustable, degree of recline is adjustable. The benefit of not having arm-rests is that the chair tucks under the desk easily, and when swiveling there are no arm-rests to hit keyboard portion of desk. Originally paid $99 from Costco, still in good condition. Asking price: $20, OBO.
