If you’re looking for high-end furniture at thrift-store prices, you’re in luck.

Birmingham’s toney Townsend Hotel has donated 200 pieces of furniture to Habitat for Humanity for resale in thrift shops in Farmington Hills, Pontiac and Detroit, The Birmingham Eccentric/hometownlife.com reports.

There’s luxury furniture, and then there’s the kind of furniture that’s been touched by Elton John, Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson, Madonna, LeBron James and other celebrities — that’s the kind The Townsend donated.

Included are 24 lounge chairs and matching ottomans, 20 granite-topped dressers, 23 desks, 32 night stands, 20 bed benches, 56 lamps and assorted pieces of artwork.

The four-star luxury hotel is renovating its guest rooms, “so this was a great opportunity for us to make a donation,” Steve Kalczynski, The Townsend’s managing director, told the newspaper. “This is the second time we’ve donated furniture to a local charity this year and it’s certainly a worthwhile cause.”
