Large pieces of cardboard?

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to acquire a few larges pieces of cardboard today? Like appliances boxes that haven't been crushed down maybe? I need four stiff/uncreased pieces that are a good 3'x3' if not a little bigger. Or maybe you have some?

Thanks!

ETA: I ended up getting some cardboard boxes that aren't big enough on a side but I think I can make it work. Amazing how hard it is to find stuff longer than 24" on a side.

As it happens, I have a couple large pieces in my studio, and I'm heading over there in shortly. Drop me a line with your street addy, and I'll drop one off.

Emailed you, thanks!

I need four pieces all together, if you have any suggestions. I'm trying to think of what sort of places might unpack large boxes and not immediately fold them up. Or even just sell plain cardboard that's big enough.

I get large sheets of double-walled cardboard from the piano factory near my studio. They put upright piano sized mega-boxes out on the curb every once in a while. I've always thought I would go in and ask them to call me next time they had one, but there's always been one showing up just around when I need it.

Blick's and most other art stores should have sheets of cardboard right where the foam-core and other mat boards are. Should also be cheap.

I have a thin flat box, I think it might be more like 2.5 ft wide by 4 ft tall, that could give you 2 sides if you still need. Has been drawn on, may be a little less than fully rigid - Let me know if you still need.

You can get huge pieces of cardboard at Home Depot type stores.

Maybe a bike box? They tend to be around 3x6 or so...

Curious for the future as to where in Home Depot that would be, since I did go there and didn't find any, even including Receiving, which was willing to check, but their boxes go into the baler immediately so they had nothing that hadn't been crushed.

You need someone just back from Ikea :)
