a Kansas City query

[saffronhare]

Over the next few months, I'd like to add some furniture to my apartment -- just a few basic things, not really an emergency. But I do want to purchase items that have been gently used, rather than brand new, and I think I'd rather not wait for yard sale season again. We'll see.

What second-hand furniture stores do you like for things such as desks, side tables, and bookshelves? I'd really love to find some wall-mounted shelves (rather than floor-space-needing shelves) because there's a lot of vertical space and not as much perimeter space.

Thanks!

those kind of shelves, probably Restore. For other furniture, I like to go to the thrift shops in the rich part of town (there's a goodwill on Santa Fe), since they throw things out way too soon. The strip of them in Waldo (my usual haunt) is probably a little more roughly used than you want.

I also have a friend who will be selling a glass-top computer corner desk -- can send you a pic if you're interested.

You're kidding, right? ::giggle::

No, thank you...I've put the days of owning glass-topped furniture behind me, if you'll forgive the pun.

And I'd totally forgotten ReStore. Yay!
