Marcie- have your tried paying some neighborhood highschool or college age boys to haul it off to Goodwill or Salvation army for you? I’d also call Play It Again Sports. They probably would take it too. Good luck!

I really need to figure out how to donate an unassembled pool table. After moving into our house we realized there is no space for it. It is in 3 heavy and bulky boxes.

Hi, I am a facepainter. I can’t find an organizer to fit my needs. I need something sturdy, perhaps with drawers, dividers, something that can sit on tabletop. I need to store individual pots of paint, roughtly 2 inch diameter, all easily visible at a glance, maybe 20-30. also able to store many paintbrushes securely, as they can be ruined if bristles are not protected. Also, some liquid bottles, glitter containers. See-through would be ideal. While facepainting need to be able to find and identify all supplies quickly. Cannot be too high, or take up too much space on table. Thanks.
