The wooden frame is in good shape. It has fabric across the panels...

I admit it! I'm a dumpster diver! That's when I go out on "garbage night" to see what people have put out at the curb. You would not believe some of the things I have found! I've gotten the most beautiful furniture - dressers,...

Dumpster dived? Or picked up items that were curbside?
What's your opinion on people that do?

How many here have dumpster dived? How often? What kind of things do you look for? What have you found? Do you resell for profit? Give me your views.
