I used to pop into estate sales now and then and it was just sad how many formerly nice antiques were donated becuase nobody buys them here.
Exactly why I look for furniture down here for our condo up North. Furniture from our previous house was too large for the new condo so needed smaller items. Found a beautiful table and chairs for kitchen and they all fit in our vehicle for transport.
