What raises and lowers the price of used home furniture
Condition grade is only part of it. These are the specifics that move a quote up or down in this category.
- Solid hardwood such as sheesham or talli holds its value through a move, whereas MDF, particle board and chipboard carcasses lose their grip on screws and cam locks once they have been dismantled.
- Complete sets sell better than fragments: a dining table with all its chairs, or a bedroom set with the dressing table and side units still together.
- Pieces that knock down flat for transport are worth more than fixed-frame items that have to be carried whole up a staircase.
- Original fittings still present, such as keys, shelf pins, cam bolts, glass shelves and mirror backs, save the buyer a hunt and raise value.
- A size that suits an ordinary flat finds buyers more readily than oversized showcases and heavy formal sets built for a much larger house.
When an item is worth parts value only
- Active termite, shown by mud tracks, fine powder under the legs, or a hollow sound where solid timber should be.
- A board carcass that has taken water, so the edges have swollen and the laminate has lifted away.
- Racked or split frame joints on a wardrobe or table that would need the whole piece taken apart and re-jointed.
- A structural part missing with no matching replacement, such as a wardrobe door, a table leaf, or the glass for a showcase.
