Help needed: Need a couch?

We received this request for help and wanted to share:

I have a very comfortable but peeling full-size sofa that needs a home if I am to keep it out of the landfill. I bought it used from the Restore in town a couple of years ago, thinking it was real leather, but it is not. I got a newer used couch this fall, and no longer have room for the peeling sofa. I’ve had it posted for free on craigslist for a few months, and also listed it in the paper for free for a couple of months too. No takers. I don’t want to send it to the landfill, but need the space in my basement for something else, so it has to go within the next couple of weeks one way or another. Do you know of anyone who might like a cosmetically challenged sofa for a porch or garage? Could you put this offering out to the group to see if anyone might want it? It is free to a good home, and I may be able to haul it if someone can help me lift/move it and it doesn’t need to go too far.

Email us at [email protected] if you can help. Thanks!
