Used Furniture Hub dining tables & chairs in Islamabad & Rawalpindi
Is a used Furniture Hub dining tables & chair worth buying?
Furniture Hub sells locally made dining sets through a photographed online catalogue, and its listings are unusually explicit about construction: solid sheesham frames and legs carrying an MDF top, finished in high gloss. That split is the whole story on a used set, because one half of the same table can be stripped and re-polished by any carpenter and the other half cannot be repaired at all once it swells.
Made or assembled in Pakistan
Spares are widely stocked locally and most technicians in the twin cities have worked on these, so common faults are usually economic to repair.
Manufacture is local and nothing on these sets is exotic: a Rawalpindi carpenter can re-glue a sheesham joint, re-polish a leg or rebuild a chair frame, and any upholsterer can recover a seat. The two things with no local substitute are a matching gloss MDF top and an exact fabric match across the remaining chairs, so while a code is still catalogued it is worth asking whether one extra chair can be supplied.

Checking a used Furniture Hub dining tables & chair
These are specific to Furniture Hub. The general dining tables & chairs checks apply too and are on the dining tables & chairs page.
Get the FH product code
Their sets are catalogued under codes in an FH-0000 form, alongside photographs and a written material specification. With the code you can compare the chair-back profile, top shape and finish against the published listing, which is how an original is separated from a workshop copy of the same design.
Separate the sheesham from MDF
Their dining listings typically describe solid sheesham legs and frame under an MDF top, so the same table is two materials with opposite repair paths. Knock along the top and along a leg, and look at an unfinished edge underneath, before judging any damage you find.
Never assume the chair count
Chair quantity, fabric, colour and size are offered as customisations, so the same code may have been supplied as six chairs or as eight. Ask what was originally ordered, and check every chair matches for frame, fabric and seat height rather than assuming a standard set.
Hunt for borer pinholes
Sheesham is attacked from inside by wood-boring insects in this climate, leaving pinhead-sized exit holes and fine powder beneath rails and inside chair legs. The chain advertises a multi-year guarantee against insect damage on new sets, but on a used one the inspection is yours to do.
Read the gloss under light
A high-gloss top shows every heat ring and scratch when you sight along it at a low light angle. On the sheesham parts that sands out and re-polishes; on the MDF top the mark is in the surface layer itself and cannot be taken back.
What Furniture Hub dining tables & chairs are worth
- The same set combines materials with opposite repair paths, so where a fault sits — sheesham frame or MDF top — decides the grade more than how large it is.
- Chair count and fabric were ordered rather than fixed, so completeness has to be established against what was originally supplied, and an unverifiable set is discounted for that uncertainty itself.
- The designs are widely copied, so a buyer who cannot confirm the product code is buying on appearance alone, which holds down what an original commands.
General dining tables & chairs checks
These apply whatever the badge on the front says — the dining tables & chairs page covers them in full.
Sit on every single chair
Sit and shift your weight side to side on each one. A click or slight give where the seat rail meets the leg means the glued joint has opened. One chair is a small job; the same fault across a six-seater is the largest single cost in the set.
Test the table for wobble
Press down on each corner in turn on a level floor. A wobble that follows you around the table is uneven legs or a loose pedestal bolt. A wobble at one corner only is usually the floor, so repeat the test with the table moved a foot to one side.
Run a nail round the glass edge
Feel the whole perimeter of a glass top for chips and nicks, and look at the corners against the light. A chipped edge on toughened glass is where a break starts, and toughened glass fails all at once rather than cracking slowly.
Look along the top at an angle
Raking light shows what an overhead look hides: white heat rings, cloudy patches where hot dishes sat, and veneer lifting along the edges and joins. A solid top can be sanded and re-polished; veneer that has bubbled has nothing left to sand.
Compare the chairs to each other
Line the chairs up and compare grain, polish shade and upholstery. A chair bought later to replace a broken one almost never matches, and a set with an odd chair in it is bought as loose chairs rather than as a set.
Open and close an extension table
Slide the table open, fit the leaf and close it again. The slides should run without lifting, the alignment pins should be present and the leaf should sit flush with the main top. A missing leaf cannot be ordered separately for most tables.
