Curb side special
I just picked up a 3 drawer dresser curb side yesterday it needs new pull knobs but otherwise is is pretty good shape. I also recently picked up a night stand curb side. It is amazing the things people throw away! Love it! I would be fun to hear what others have scored!

WTG on your find. We don't see anything here at the curb because there isn't that type of pickup here.

I got my coffee table curbside. It is solid wood (oak, I think) but had sat out in the rain so it was a little warped. That worked out for me because I like to decorate in cottage style. I painted it white then did a little distressing. Let's see if I can find a picture...

Thanks!
Just like rainbow said, my husband looks at me like I've brought home a mangy dog when I show up with the house with someone else's trash furniture. I just smile and say that I have a plan. USUALLY it works out. Sometimes it ends up being our trash.

The only thing we have found is an outside wooden chair and love seat for our yard. They have cushions on them too. It is nice when we have a party because it gives us 3 nice comfortable seats in the back yard.

Sounds like a great find!
I don't luck out very often, but I found this bike on the curb last summer:
Here it is after DH fixed it up:
