Alternatively, there is this place in Taman Tun Dr Ismail which is called "Selangor Junk Yard". Don't have the number anymore but try calling telephone directory 103. Years ago, we bought a real solid study table from them and a couple of open shelves.
Another alternative, also in TTDI, is "Second Charm". I believe they advertise frequently in the classified section of the Star. But mostly retro pieces. Stumbled upon the shop by accident and now awaiting the opportunity / transportation to lug over an antique nyonya chair for them to refurbish. Would have bought some nice pieces from them but then we're now suffering from lack of space due to previous buying sprees.
Ikea - has a notice board tucked away somewhere with listings of pre-loved furniture. Am not a big fan of Ikea myself, ah well .....
anything that is going really cheap so that after 2 months do not feel guilty when I have to get rid ( throw) the stuff.
If I were you, (as long as the items are in good, clean condition with many years left in them), I would call up an orphanage or old folks' home and offer it to them. More often than not, they will be able to arrange to do collection.
