Second hand furniture stores in MK?
Posted by Chaffiao@reddit | miltonkeynes | View on Reddit | 9 comments
Will be moving to an unfurnished flat in MK soon. Wondering if there’s any decent 2nd hand furniture shop? Also do they provide delivery services for bigger items like wardrobes, beds?
Greatly appreciate any comments!

Not far from MK is the Emmaus outlet at Carlton: https://maps.app.goo.gl/LaNnVpoA2wdRWyiP7?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

I will tell you right now to just check things if getting them from the Reuse Centre
I purchase tools etc from there but won't buy furnishings as one of their bed frames came with literal bed bugs. Cost me thousands to get them gone.

Age Concern in Kiln Farm not only has furniture, but also accepts, tests and sells electrical items. Not sure if the others in KF do too?

Hi there, I volunteer at the Kiln Farm Willen hospice which is a charity second hand furniture store.
We sell everything you could need to furnish a house: beds, wardrobes, chests of draws, sofas, chairs, tb cabinets etc.
All items are checked and priced fairly according to their condition and size, but are considered pretty cheap by customers when compared to brand new or other used places.
We do delivery for £35 to anywhere in MK. That's one price for all items you buy (aka if you buy 1 item, it's £35 Delivery, if you buy 5 items its still just £35 for it all...)
Couple of points to note though:
stock isn't guaranteed. Like if you specifically want a cream leather sofa, we may have one, but when it's gone it's gone. We aren't a shop that stocks the same items, it's whatever we get donated. So if you see something you like, reserve it fast. If you can't find what you like, come back another day, you'd be surprised how quickly need stuff appears.
still take a look on FB marketplace or similar. Things like sofas will be cheaper on there. I recently got a lovely 2 seater faux leather sofa for 30 quid!
If you have any questions before you go, just ask :)

Thanks a lot, will definitely have a look at the place! :)
stock-wise, do you usually have more than a couple of each category (e.g. bed, sofa) available?

It honestly really depends on what we've had donated. Sometimes we have no beds at all! But on average, yes, there is usually 2-6 of any given item type :)

Age UK, Willen Spice Furniture shop and the Reuse Community Project are all on the same block in Kiln Farm. I think they all deliver.

Kiln farm, has a few second hand furniture places. The re-use place I've found is better than age or willen who seem to price things too high.
