What raises and lowers the price of used dining tables & chairs
Condition grade is only part of it. These are the specifics that move a quote up or down in this category.
- A full count of matching chairs, since a set that has lost one is valued as loose pieces rather than as a six or eight-seater.
- Solid wood tops that can be sanded and re-polished, against veneered board that has only one thin layer to lose.
- An intact, unchipped toughened glass top with no previous repair, because glass is the part most likely to be damaged in transit.
- Worn rexine or fabric on seat pads counts for less than it looks, because re-covering a seat pad is routine work, whereas a loose chair frame is not.
- Compact four and six-seaters suit more flats and houses than a long eight-seater, which needs a dedicated dining room.
When an item is worth parts value only
- A cracked or chipped toughened glass top, which is unsafe to move and unsafe to use.
- Chair frames where the leg-to-rail joints have failed across most of the set rather than on one chair.
- A pedestal or trestle base split where the column meets the top plate, since that one joint carries the whole table and will not hold a glued repair under weight.
- Chairs with collapsed cane or rattan seat panels on frames grooved for cane, where hand re-caning costs more than the chairs are worth.
