Habitat's Restore Stores Are A Great Organization In NJ

This organization collects gently used furniture donations and resells them at an amazingly affordable price.

My wife and I got a really nice bookshelf from Restore for pennies on the dollar, and when it comes time to get rid of your old furniture, they can help you with that, even if they're bulky items.

I had an older leather sofa that weighed nearly 500 pounds, and ReStore was able to come to my house, get rid of the sofa for me, and it only cost a little ten-dollar donation.
