Yesterday the Salvation Army picked up my couch. I still have my loveseat. My living room looks so much more roomy!
However, they wouldn't take the dresser. The bottoms of one or 2 of the drawers tends to fall out sometimes. A little wood glue is all that's needed. And one of the side rails that the drawer slides on is missing, so the top drawer sits on the one below it. It needs a bit of minor work, but I figured that someone looking for furniture may see it and take it home and refinish it. However, the drivers refused to take it.
I really don't want to throw it in the dumpster, because it's solid wood, not cheap particle board. So I advertised on My Used Winnipeg. Here is my ad:

Here is an email response I got today1960's style bedroom dresser. 3 deep drawers. Solid wood, not particle board.
The drawers need a bit of work to keep the bottoms intact, and one or 2 bars that drawers slide on need to be replaced.
Finish is in so-so condition. No deep scratches.
Ideal for those who like to restore furniture.
I lack the knowledge and space to refinish it myself so I'm giving it away to someone who may be able to bring some renewed life to this gem.
