WANTED: furniture wanted

Tomir · #1 20-03-2016, 23:09

I am looking for various bits and pieces including sofas and wardrobes etc. I don't want to spend the earth and wondered if there were any second hand shops around. I have looked in the charity shop and to be honest I thought they were expensive for what they were offering. Are there any other charity shops with furniture?

Thanks for help.

There is a reclaimation yard in Alcudia on Avinguda de la Platja - might be worth a look. They have alot of ex hotel stuff.

Thank you GG. I will investigate. Thanks for the co-ordinates too which is very helpful.

one thing I will say is that if you buy any second hand wooden furniture check it for woodworm - it is common on the island

easy to treat with treatment available from the ironmongers e.g. Plomer, etc

Oh right! I hadn't thought of that! Thanks. Looking mainly for sofas and wardrobes/cupboards. Thanks again for your help.

Wish I had seen this post earlier, I have just taken two sofas to the Allan Graham charity shop, they were in excellent condition. They may still be there if you go in/ring them.

Oh no!!!I've been monitoring this site too!

GG just been to Alcudia and can't find the place. I found the sports centre one end and of course Lidl the other. Any ideas? Thanks

Missed them for the day! Just popped down and closed. What a pain! Will try tomorrow!

Tomir - it is a while since I have been over there so maybe it has closed. Perhaps someone else has more info?

There's also a handy Facebook group called North Mallorca 2nd hand buy and sell.
You could have a look to see what's on offer on there or post a message about what you are looking for.

Thanks Lorenzo I will look it up.

Popped in but unlucky. Nothing there but a really tatty old sofa - how can they charge such prices? It was fit for the tip!

I wonder if they may have taken them to their other shop. I will pop back tomorrow to ask. Thanks Family Ordonez - what a shame!
