Oakland Used Furniture Sale – Friday & Saturday

I think this event is a great idea (we have blogged about it in the past too) because it is a great way for Pittsburgh to reuse and repurpose furniture and dorm things and a great way for new students to save some money fixing up their new Pittsburgh abodes!

If you are new in Pittsburgh – or looking for some new furniture – before you make the trip out to Ikea – stop the Oakland Planning and Development Corporations 4th Annual Used Furniture Sale this weekend.

4th Annual Used Furniture Sale

Furniture Sale in the news:

From the Post-Gazzette’s Walkabout Blog – Holey couches, Batman!

“We have lots of couches, a ton of chairs, a lot of desks, tables, some shelves, dressers, and a few lamps,” Kelly said. Continue reading →

Furniture Sale

Welcome students! I stopped in Oakland for lunch today (I think Oakland is the best neighborhood for lunch).  Traffic, no parking signs, it all means that the students are moving in.  Welcome to Pittsburgh.  If you find yourself needing some furniture – look no further.  The Oakland Planning & Development Corporation (OPDC) has got a great event for you. This weekend is their 2nd Annual furniture sale. I think this is a great idea, discounted furniture for students and a way to recycle all of the furniture that gets left behind each spring.  It is a win-win idea.  Plus it raises money to help with future plans for Oakland.  Last year’s sale raise over $1000. From the pictures on their website it looks like they have tons of great stuff for dorm rooms and apartments.
