Why Solid Wood Furniture Often Ends Up as Junk
Still Clinging to That Solid Wood Table? You’re Not Alone.
In Singapore, many homeowners hang on to solid wood furniture for sentimental reasons or because it once cost a fortune.
But here’s the truth: the junk value has changed. These once-premium items are now often seen as bulky wastethat’s expensive to move, tough to store, and nearly impossible to sell.
Solid Wood Furniture Often Ends Up as Junk With More Buyers Saying ‘No Thanks’
Today’s buyers want modular, minimal, and space-saving styles from IKEA, Castlery, or Taobao. That solid mahogany cabinet from 2004? No one’s collecting it. It’s just junk furniture now.
2. It’s Too Heavy for Small Flats
Singapore’s BTOs and condos are shrinking. Most residents simply don’t have the space — or patience — for massive bulky items like solid wood beds and dressers.
3. Transport and Manpower = Headache
Even if someone agreed to collect your table, they’d still need a lorry, movers, and possibly a bulky item disposal permit. Most people would rather pay $150 for a flat-pack than deal with that.
4. Damage, Mold, or Termites
Wood ages fast in Singapore’s humidity. If there’s mold, borer holes, or signs of swelling — it’s not antique, it’s junk. We’ve seen dozens of cases where families clung to solid wood junk, only to realize it couldn’t even be recycled.
So... Is It Totally Worthless?
Not always. Some retro pieces do well — if they’re:
In great condition
Easy to move
Mid-century modern style
Already cleaned and delivered
But otherwise, it’s just a job for a disposal company in Singapore — not a payday.
What Can You Do With Bulky Solid Wood Furniture?
✅ Option 1: Try Rehoming
You can try Carousell, Facebook Marketplace, or Telegram junk groups. Just be honest. Most items still end up as bulky waste even if listed as freebies.
✅ Option 2: Check with Town Council or Condo MCST
HDB town councils offer limited bulky item disposal — but not always for heavy, oversized wooden furniture. Condos often require notice and lift protection.
✅ Option 3: Call Junk Value
