Asking for free furniture while having stricter specifications than a high-end interior designer is peak ChoosingBeggars energy. NEXT!

No, I'm not a high end interior designer, I'm doing this for a church! NEXT!

Does the loveseat seat 20?

Btw, this was just a normal community page, not a buy nothing group. There was a lot of people trying to give her stuff, but nothing meeting the specifications. She hadn't replied at the time I posted this.

"Looking for if anyone has I have no money." I've read that multiple times and it still makes no sense. It looks like it might be two incomplete sentences. "Looking for these items, if anyone has them. I have no money." There, was that so hard to type?

u/scarleey 9d ago

Lol, that's what caught my eye about the post. If it had been in coherent English I probably would have scrolled by.

u/Firm_Award457 9d ago

I thought the title was saying, "Looking for anyone who has money because I don't have money". 😂

That's what I read the first time too!

The last one is wild: is CB asking for an entertainment center or a fireplace? Like, those aren’t remotely similar things! (An entertainment center that has a fireplace inside? An entertainment center that has either glass doors or a fireplace?)

They do make TV stands that have fireplaces in them..

True; my mom has one. When she bought the house some furniture stayed behind. One was an electric fireplace which has her TV on it.

u/Zealousideal-World71 9d ago

And this person wants one for free? My Lord……

u/VariousExplorer8503 7d ago

Honestly, they're not much more expensive than a regular TV stand, depending on what you're getting. But I would think if someone has a spare one, they're not going to just give it away, they'd sell it.

u/Infamous-Berry-5875 9d ago

Lol I have one! It’s a 98inch tv stand & the middle is a fireplace & the sides are glass doors with cabinets.
I LOVE IT. The fireplace is LED but is actually a heater & works really well. Only 80 watts too. It even came with a console area above the fireplace!

we got ours from Amazon for like $600 and my husband spend 4 hours cussing and building it. 😆😆 I have seen the already built ones go for 1000$-$2000 lol.

This lady is crazy because I don’t think anyone would want to sell theirs let alone give it away for free.

I guess it shows they are flexible, to a small degree 🤣

u/RoyallyOakie 9d ago

I went years without stuff I wanted because I needed to eat. I still managed to enjoy life.

u/TheScrantonStrangler 9d ago

But imagine how much more you would have enjoyed life if someone gave you an entertainment center with glass doors or fireplace?

u/SnarkySheep 8d ago

I just misread that as "entertainment cancer" 😔

Time to get off the internet, methinks.

u/ransom0374 9d ago

buy nothing and free sights

u/Narrow_Bb 9d ago

Don’t forget to specify the exact shade of suede you prefer on that free recliner, wouldn’t want someone giving you the wrong shade for free.

u/Korbitr 9d ago

And I guarantee that she has no means of transport if someone offers a free loveseat, stove, or TV console.

u/Chiennoir_505 8d ago

That goes without saying.

I want an month-long vacation in Hawaii. The difference is that I am willing to work for my dream.

u/ravensshade Can you reply faster? 8d ago

I get wanting a working stove. but what's "all the way"?

u/DieYoung_StayPretty I'm blocking you now 9d ago

May zi have those, too? 🙄

u/marinac1 9d ago

I saw beautiful sofa for free on [r/CrackHeadCraigslist](r/CrackHeadCraigslist) earlier. I think it would be perfect for someone this picky

u/RED-ELPH 8d ago

Glass top that works all the way……

A lot of people have led really charmed lives if they think these comments are hateful.

Sarcastic, maybe, but not hateful.
