What to Check Before Reusing Furniture

Furniture is heavy. Before you share it, decide both whether it is still usable and whether anyone can move it.

Direct answer Check load-bearing parts, fasteners, mould, smell and pest traces. Write dimensions and whether it dismantles. LoopSwap does not move or install furniture.

Checklist - Loose legs, slats or doors. - Fabric mould or unidentified stains. - Private papers left in drawers. - Whether the other person has a lift or extra hands. Do not assume they can collect it.

Do not share Furniture with a broken frame, heavy mould, or an unknown chemical-storage history. Infant cots with an unclear modification history need extra caution.
