Free: Ethan Allen TV Stand
Moved to a new place just before the start of the pandemic and my wife’s TV stand (black) didn’t fit in our new house. Moved it to our garage where it has sat covered ever since. The cold unfortunately warped the doors to close the stand to hide the TV, but that wasn’t something we ever had closed when it was in our old place. Other than that - it’s in great condition and seems a shame to send a couple thousand dollar piece of furniture to the dump. Happy to get it out of my garage, if you are interested and willing to pick up (it’s heavy and solid).

Has anyone ever been successful on Facebook Market Place? What an absolute nightmare this has been. My wife will not let me take this to the dump...
2 days into this thrilling adventure, here are some of the questions I've received there about this (with my responses):
1. Is it a TV stand? Yes it is! As the ad suggests, it is a TV stand to hold your TV.
Editing for the follow-up! “Are you sure it’s a TV stand? It doesn’t look like a TV stand.”
2. What colour is it? Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, it's black. Just like the photo in the ad.
3. Do you think I can pick this up by putting it on the roof of my car? Well it's almost six feet long and weighs 200+ pounds because it's solid wood. I would advise against it and also am not being sued for damage to your car when you try this.
4. Would it work to store clothes inside? Maybe if you have a stronger imagination than I. When we bought it, it was advertised as a TV stand.
5. Could I make this into a doll house? No idea. Do the dolls normally sit on TV stands?
6. Does it play Blue Ray? No... It's a TV stand, not a TV.
7. Can we negotiate on price? It's free. Are you offering to pay me for this?

Doesn't matter what platform. Doesn't matter if you are giving it away for free or looking for a certain price. Trying to sell on any platform can be a mind blowing experience.
Re question 3, I'd tell them to go for it for sure. If for no other reason than watching that s**t show.

A couple more photos would be nice, do the doors and drawers open, maybe show a pic of that, what is the depth of it. It looks to me like it's currently in the upright position but I'm not sure.

Yeah, I would take better pictures for sure. Open the doors, maybe take the pictures from a greater distance so you can get a visual feel for the size of the unit, etc. Post the internal dimensions.
Yes, it's a bit of effort for a free item, but I'm not going to go pick something up for the hell of it just because it's free.

Yeah, I find that's the number one thing people on kijiji miss when taking pics. You get 3 or 4 close ups and no further back ones that offer perspective of what it would look like in your home.

After you take pictures you could photoshop the inside....as gun storage, a secret safe room, put the lost ark in there.....
See .....so many uses.
We don't need no stinking TV

Does this cupboard have any magical properties? If I put my action figures in it overnight, will they come alive the next morning?

So how deep is it? Can't tell from the pic - I don't need a TV stand but I would take it if it's deep enough to use for storage.

I had no idea they still made these TV stands where you put your TV inside of it and then close the doors when you're not watching it.
