It’s a mad world we live in where people will spend for chipboard or mdf and have no interest in fine furniture, I constantly search marketplace for free or cheap furniture just for the wood to reuse.Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'4

I visited the reclamation shop where I bought my mahogany table and I've cleaned it up but the response was that they can't give away furniture at the moment.
And it's only 3ft and folds.
Used to work in a furniture place and this was previously the prime time to sell so no idea whats going on.
The charities that take for those in need also sell at a higher price for joe public so it may be an option. Rehoming peeps though are limited for space but worth asking. They may take it for displaying things.viral kindness .....kindness is contageous pass it on
The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well

We apparently can't even give it away. BHF laughed at us. I tried advertising it on Facebook for £50, with a view to accepting £nil, but nobody is interested.
As an example, this ebay item, which is really quite nice and a quality item, had nobody interested.

Do I just dismatle my unit and take it to the dump, or pay someone to take it away?0 -

No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
