Practical Value of Old Furniture
If the furniture is comfortable and you could not ask for better, take it with you, in the event you happen to have the perfect furniture that accommodates your needs, is the ultimate style you could ever hope for including design, color, and look. It is worth taking it to the new home, you will likely not be able to find a replica or find something you completely love and if you already own it. Consider the checklist below if there are some aspects that you are pleased with but not necessarily in love.
– Overall good condition
– Good fit for the new home’s layout
– Functionable
– Durable
– Comfortable
It is likely worth taking it with you if it fits the above criteria. A yard sale or a donation center might be better, if the furniture is old and deteriorated, won’t fit well in the new home, or is not comfortable.
Sentimental Value of Old Furniture
A primary factor is the sentimental value. A treasured family heirloom or a piece that is associated with a special event or time in your life is likely something you do not want to be parted with. It is well worth the investment to take it with you, if it is sentimental, this goes without saying.
Monetary Value of Old Furniture
As most moving companies move your home’s possession according to weight and miles, moving furniture is one of the costly items to move. In your final decision, financial worth can easily play a part. It is in your interests to keep it if it is high-priced item that is a part of a vintage or collection. It might be best to sell it and replace it with new when you get to your new home, if it is low-cost, standard piece of furniture or a generic appliance.
