If you would like to bring your furniture to the centre yourself, we can accept donations of large furniture however, please give us a call first on 0131 551 7703 ​so that we can discuss and arrange your visit.​ We are happy to take donations when we are open, but please do not leave ​any items outside the Furniture Centre when we are closed as this ​means we will not be able to accept your generous donation(s).

Yes! You can donate your furniture and we will collect it for free within ​the city of Edinburgh area i.e. EH1 to EH17 postcodes, Monday, Wednesday and Friday (excluding public holidays). 

To request a free furniture collection through our collection and delivery partner Boxmove, please complete the online booking form below.​ Please add a photo of your item(s) to your booking form. We require this before we can confirm collection.​ We need to check what the item(s) is/are and if we can legally sell it/them to raise money for the charity.​ Your initial booking request will therefore be provisional.​

We will be in touch to confirm if we can accept your donation request and if we can collect it/them on your requested date.​ If we can collect your item(s) on your requested date you will receive a text message from us the evening before with a 90-minute time-slot. ​We cannot change your collection time slot after confirmation therefore please book a day that you can be available between 07:00 and 18:00.​

All Boxmove drivers will be in uniform with ID badges.

​

If your booking is accepted, this is not a guarantee that the items will be collected as our van drivers upon arrival will need to evaluate them to ensure that they are suitable for sale. If they are not suitable they will be declined by our van drivers at that point. Prior to your agreed collection timeslot, please ensure:

• Items are not stained, torn, marked or damaged. Very minor damage may be accepted by our drivers if the item is still saleable, especially if the items are of a very high quality. ​
• Soft furnishings e.g. sofas, chairs and anything with material on it have a permanently attached fire label (unless it is pre-1950s).
• A suitable parking area is available i.e. free and not obstructed to our delivery van for loading.​
• Items can be removed from the property safely and without causing damage to either the item or your property. Our drivers cannot remove doors or windows for access to the items.​
• Large items are dismantled and ready prior to the agreed collection date. Our drivers do not offer a disassembly service.​
• Your property is a maximum of three floors above or below the floor on which our delivery vehicle is parked, unless there is a suitable lift.​
• All lamps must have a plug attached and the lamp must be free from obvious damage such as dents, cracks or missing parts.​

Gift Aid it! Gift Aid is a government scheme which lets us claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate. Or if you’re donating items, we can claim an extra 25% on top of the price it sells for in our shops. Once you’ve signed up to Gift Aid, we claim the tax back on your donation. It does not cost you anything to sign up to Gift Aid.

You can apply Gift Aid to your donations if:

• you’re a UK taxpayer
• the money or items you’re donating belong to you
• the tax you pay that year is at least equal to all your donations to any charity.

​You can sign up to add Gift Aid to your donations via our online booking form when arranging a collection or by filling out a form in store. Full T&Cs can be found here.

No. Please note that as the items we sell are donated they may not be in a perfect condition but that does not mean they are faulty. Every care has been taken to select quality preloved furniture to offer for sale. We are simply not in a position to offer a guarantee on such items. Please check your selected item to ensure you are happy with its condition before you make your purchase.​

No. However, UK law demands that electrical appliances are safe and well-maintained to prevent danger. Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a widely accepted method to fulfil this requirement. All our second-hand electrical goods e.g. lamps and mobility scooters have been tested to PAT standards, ensuring the goods meet legal safety requirements. You will therefore find the associated PAT sticker attached to the item(s) with the date tested.​
