Thrifting and vintage shopping have seen a resurgence in popularity in the last few years, and you might be in on this trend. Some shoppers love reusing and up-cycling used furniture and clothes to be more sustainable. Others love saving money by shopping at thrift stores or buying used online, and some people keep it old school, by attending local garage sales. Whatever the reason, thrifting is here to stay. Sometimes, bargain shoppers can hit the jackpot – literally! A piece you buy for a couple of bucks can turn out to be way more valuable or way more unique than you initially thought. We’ve collected a list of some of the greatest finds posted on social media by dedicated bargain hunters. They all scored some absolute gems, and we’re sure after reading this you’ll want to start digging at your local thrift store, too.
A True Statement Piece
This find is the ultimate statement piece for book lovers. Someone found this book-shaped coffee table for sale on the Facebook Marketplace and they simply had to have it. Much to their surprise, the spines double as secret drawers! On top of that, each drawer is beautifully lined with black and white fleur-de-lis paper.
This piece has another element of interest: each giant book is bound in actual leather. We can’t help but wonder who made such a unique piece of furniture and who was willing to give it up. The attention to detail and the obvious quality of the table make us think it was custom made. Its new owner probably gets a ton of compliments on it from guests!
