Three-quarters of my furniture is stuff that I found on the side of the road with a "Free" sign on it.

  With the exception of things I bought at IKEA (and my desk chair), all my furniture is either things I took with me when I left home (e.g., my bed, dresser) or was given to me used from a friend or family member. My things from when I left home I've had since I was a kid in the 80s, my kitchen table and chairs were given to me by my sister when she bought a new one for their house, my entertainment centre was given to me by a friend when he was moving across the country, and my couch was given to me by a friend a few months ago when he bought a new one. I really need a new bed and a new chair for the living room (both date back to the 1970s), but otherwise my furniture is in decent shape. I could use a new computer desk as it got a bit damaged in the last move I made, but it's not too bad.
