One word of advice on getting furniture from charity shops,

A mate of mine works for The Norwich's City council (pest control, hazardous waste, clearing out council houses,etc). He's advised me in the past not to buy furniture from charity shops as often the furniture is riddled with bed bugs. Once you get them in your place you're f**ked. The only way to truly get rid of them is to get rid of everything from your house and have it fumigated. So it will cost you heaps more in the future.

Tudders would be a good option though. If I was in the United of Kingdoms I'd buy from him. He's right reputable.
