I love buying from charity shops as I feel I'm supporting a good cause as well as paying less for my stuff. We have moved into a larger house and need to buy a sofa, several beds, some armchairs, plus tables, kitchen chairs, etc. And there are several large charity shops near us including British Heart with nice furniture. We bought a sofa there a couple of months ago with no problems.
However, I have been reading up on bedbugs and have gotten scared. Apparently they are becoming more and more prevalent in the UK and are an absolute nightmare to get rid of. I'm getting scared.
So what should I do? What would you do? Any experience with either/or soft furnishings from a charity shop or bedbugs? Thanks.
