    Put it out on the boulevard. Around here it would be gone in 15 minutes.

    Yes, give it away! There's some use to it yet.

    One of the boardies here has been known to take the drawers and put mounting hardware on the back and chalkboard paint inside. Put it out as a curb alert in the Free section and it'll probably disappear.

    JUST don't do it this weekend if you're in the area where the nasty snow, wind and rain storm is supposed to hit!!!!!

    Please don't dump it.
    Do you have a Facebook Marketplace? It's maple. You might get 25-50 for it.
    Or:
    Can't you wait until the thrifts open?

    Are you near Manchester? I went to some antiques center there with DD that had a lot of repurposed things last year. Even if places are closed they might answer phones or emails if you're giving something away.

    I have known people to turn those old dressers into couches/sofas.

    They chop the top off, remove the drawers, and then they put in a new platform, reinforce the sides, add upholstery, pillows, etc. And boom - you have a nice little armchair or two-person loveseat. And you even have a drawer or two underneath for storage.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Welcome to Antiquers, @JDS ! Best of luck in finding somebody to take it. Depending on your area, it would probably be picked up quickly if you put it out at the curb.

    If you have freecycle in your area, list it there. Will get snatched up quickly.
