Free on Craigslist...



I try to remind myself to watch the free listings on craigslist because I'm looking for furniture and not only is it good to recycle, often the older things have more character to them. I'd much rather have solid wood than particle board anyway. LOL It does become quite annoying when over half of the listings are for free moving boxes and you can't help but wonder if that person got them free also to carry the recycle chain but the bad part is that half the time the sizes aren't listed. How do you know if you can use them or not without going through each one and asking them all? Sometimes it is a lot easier just to buy something like that so that you can control what you're dealing with. I'm sure some of them can be used but there are lots of times that you have something that's an odd size or something like that. I'm sure most people that resopnd to those ads are people that recycle cardboard anyway so at least it still helps someone.
