You've finally gotten new furniture, and, have moved your old furniture out of the way. You puzzled over and settled on a way to arrange your new furniture, but, you've got one big problem -- you don't know what to do with your old sectional. It's been comfortable and has gotten a lot of use. Now that you have new furniture in your living room, you're thinking about upgrading your television, want to finish that picture collage, or, repaint that built-in. Still, your old sectional, crammed into a tight space, needs to go.
What to Do with an Old Sectional
When you buy new furniture, you might have the delivery company pickup your old furniture and haul it away. In some instances, this isn't an option. If the furniture is frail, stained, torn, or damaged, it's probably not in salable condition. Even furniture that still looks good, but doesn't function, like a recliner that is stuck in the upright position, is problematic to get rid of in a quick manner.
When you view your sectional as an ugly furniture ogre, it's time for a sofa makeover. Take a good look at your sectional to determine what you really don't like about it. After you've identified the issues, don't despair -- your sofa beast isn't a hopeless design case. With a little creativity and a few resources, you can spruce it up with color, texture and decorative accents to give it a fresh, new look. --San Francisco Chronicle

If it's in really good condition, you should call a furniture resale store or consignment retailer. Either way, it will be off your property and put some money in your pocket.
