Furniture Refurb/Recycling in the Wokingham Area
Discussion
We have a good quality, solid wood dining table and six chairs (Cherrywood finish, not dissimilar to this set) that we'd like to donate to a furniture charity. That, in itself, would be quite straightforward but, while the table is in excellent condition (having been covered for most of its life), the chairs are 'well used' and would really need to be refurbished before they could be sold.
All the charities I've spoken to only want furniture that they can collect and put straight on sale, so wouldn't be interested in the chairs as they are.
A while ago, my nephew worked briefly for a charity (in the Gloucester area IIRC) that refurbished donated furniture before selling it on, in order to provide work experience and build new skills for its workers. I was hoping to find something similar covering the Wokingham area but I've had no luck.
I was therefore wondering whether anyone knew of a furniture charity in the area who would be able to refurbish the chairs before putting the whole dining set on sale?

Hi Richard,
My Partner works for Thames Hospice who do have a furniture workshop in Dedworth, Windsor. Are the table and chairs still available and if so, could you send me some photos?
Cheers
