What Do I Do with the China Cabinet and Curio? (Because No One Wants Them)

Posted by on

So, you’re downsizing—or handling a loved one’s estate—and now you’re staring at a massive china cabinet no one wants. (Seriously, why did every relative insist on owning one?) Don’t worry, you have options!

Ways to Rehome That Furniture Without Losing Your Mind

  1. Sell It Online – Sites like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp are full of bargain hunters. Good photos and an honest description go a long way!

  2. Auction It Off – CTBids lets you sell items in a secure, online auction setting. We’ll even handle the setup—just sit back and watch the bids roll in!

  3. Consignment Shops – Some local stores will sell your furniture for you (and save you the hassle of dealing with flaky buyers).

  4. Donate to a Good Cause – Charities like Goodwill, Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity ReStores may take that cabinet off your hands—and some even pick up!

  5. Try an Auction House – If it’s an antique or high-end piece, a professional auction house might be interested.

  6. Call a Junk Removal Service – If it’s beyond saving, let the pros haul it away responsibly.

  7. Give It Away – Sometimes, people love "free." Post on community boards, Nextdoor, or just ask around!

  8. Check Recycling Centers – Some centers accept large furniture for eco-friendly disposal.

  9. Community Connections – Local bulletin boards and neighborhood apps can help find a new home for your furniture.

  10. Hire Professional Movers – If you need it out ASAP, movers can transport it to storage, another home, or a donation center.
