How much of your furniture did you buy new?

[Imicola]

Random musings really, but I have somehow only just come to realise the literally the only furniture in our 3 bed house that we bought new were the main sofa, beds and cot. Everything else is a hodge podge of hand me downs and second hand, including jumble sale, gumtree, Facebook, antique shop with a few pretty decent things for free.

What about you? If you have second hand, where are your best pieces from?

I'd love to get a brand new extendable dining table in future, but the ones I liked were all over a grand so we stuck with our £20 jumble sale table. Pretty glad given our toddler likes to give it a good pounding with her fork on a regular basis!

Every single thing apart from a small coffee table DH brought from home. Most things we still have but a few have been replaced.

65%
Dining room table and chairs are “antiques”
Breakfast table and chairs left with the house
Desk and office chair bought used
Piano bought used

Rest bought new.

As happy with the pre-owned stuff as the new.

Almost none. I prefer antique furniture. It is sturdy and has character. All my furniture was bought at auction except for the unit the TV sits on and my white goods/techno. Most of the stuff you can buy in the high street is garbage. I dont want what Mrs Jones down the street has.
