I replaced the Thomas Payne "faux leather" with RecPro cloth recliners. I now have used TP recliners that are structurally sound and have minor peeling. Is there a market or donation location? I hate to just throw them out. Anyone have an idea? Thanks.
 
We replaced our peeling furniture while we were camping and away from home…had no idea where to go to donate the chairs, so I got my knife out and cut the pleather and stuffing up into “small” pieces, and threw it all in the campground dumpster. Put the heavy steel frames in the truck, took them home and gave them to my neighbor for his metal recycling pile.
 
Here's our Thomas Payne we got rid of:

Unless you know someone personally who may want it, I doubt anyone who has any knowledge of how awful Thomas Payne furniture holds up, will never, ever want a used piece (even for free), let alone pay for it.
 
We tried donating ours to Goodwill but apparently they are unsellable if they’re not near perfect so they wouldn’t take them. We also “disassembled” ours and put them in the trash dumpster and steel parts in the recycling dumpster. We replaced them with used Ekornes Stressless chairs we found on FB marketplace. Only paid about $500 each. Very pleased with our decision. 100% high quality leather and very, very, comfortable. They are also very lightweight which is always a plus in an RV.


 
We are looking to replace 1 of our sofas in the living room of our 2021 3761FL. It is in perfect condition but the wife finds it uncomfortable, I am curious if there is any interest in purchasing it. We rarely used it at all. If you are interested reach out to me with offer. We are currently in WI.
