What to do with old sofa?

[aberdeeneuan]

We moved from our flat to our first house and the missus decided we should get new lounge furniture that fills the room better. I've no issue with this, other than what we are supposed to do with the old sofa. It's in good nick, cost us a decent amount at the time and still really comfy, just didn't fit with what we want in the house. It's a modern contemporary job in beige, anyone know what I could do with it?

Ebay is an option I guess but no idea what these things go for really, any other ideas?

Give it away on Freegle or Gumtree (might get something for it on Gumtree).

Freecycle. Also there are charitys around the UK that take old furniture and give it to people who have nothing to furnish their home with. You might find a local one. (although hopefully they'll scour freecycle)

Freegle and Freecycle. Politics, eh.

Personally, I'd find a politician. Then beat them to a red smear with the sofa.

It would be a noble end for a sofa.

When I got rid of my old sofa I stuck it on on Gumtree and it was gone, cash in hand, by the end of the day.

For a charity to be interested it either needs to be old enough to be fire safe due to using natural materials or new enough to have passed the current standards.

And they'll probably only take it if it still have the labels attached saying it's fire safe.

I have the labels for it, and the original invoice, it's probably only 5 years old.

Will try gumtree first, if no luck will give it away (the Scotsman in me finds that a hard concept!)
