Where would my husband and I be without the MIT Furniture Exchange? Furniture-less, is the answer!…read moreThis is such an amazing resource for students. Since my husband and I moved to Cambridge five and a half years ago for his graduate program, we've acquired almost all of our furniture here - everything from a leather couch and armchair set in excellent condition for a reasonable $600 to a gorgeous Crate and Barrel kitchen table for a mere $40. We've also purchased bookshelves, end tables, lamps, desks, and more. Obviously by virtue of fact that the furniture is by donation, there are always going to be some ugly or low-quality items to weed through, but I'd say it's well worth the time. As has been noted, the hours are very limited: currently Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and the first Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. If possible, I'd strongly recommend arriving promptly at 10, especially on Saturdays: within 15 to 30 minutes of opening, often much of the best inventory has already been claimed.

There was always an excuse for the delay, probably valid -- a factory shut down, they painted it black, whatnot. But we always had to call them to ask -- no one ever reached out to us to say "there's a delay, here's why." What's more, they charged more for fixed shelves instead of moveable ones and when it finally arrived, it's got a wobble. I went on the mistaken assumption that this was the sister store to Boston Wood in Watertown. I will be going to Boston Wood instead of this place in the future.
