| Items
we Sell |
We do have to charge for any
furniture or electrical items selected. Dorset Reclaim is a not-for-profit charity, and our prices
simply reflect our need to cover our running costs and ensure we will be around to supply furniture
to local people in the future.
Stock changes daily, so if a particular item you require at your budget is not available on your
first visit, something probably will be within a short time. We can usually provide most items
that are needed to make a home, although as we rely entirely on donations, stock varies on a daily
basis. If there is something that is not available on the day of your visit, you are always welcome
to come back again or to call us to check what is in stock.
All items are labeled to give you guidance as to their value.
To give you an idea of the money you may need to help furnish your home, listed below are some
examples of our prices, these will vary according to the quality of the item and stock availability.
This list is just an example of what may be available:
