FREE sofa (Antioch, IL)

2008-07-17T23:56:01-05:00

I have available, one large sofa free for the taking. I am estimating it to be 6-7 years in age. It was purchased new by my grandmother, who is a non-smoker and had no pets. I ended up with it when she moved into assisted living, as it would not fit in the new apartment. We are also non-smokers, but have two dogs. The dogs are never allowed on furniture and this couch is kept in the living room where they are blocked off from going. I just wanted to mention in the case of extreme allergies. It was sat on no more than 5-6 times in the past 3 years. It is just a plain, comfy couch, no sleeper inside. I am asking $15 for the slipcover, but will give the couch away. You will need to pick up and load it. We are right off of RT 173, between Deep Lake and 45. Thanks
