How Much Does Secondhand Furniture Cost?
Secondhand furniture prices depend on the piece, its condition, materials, and where you shop, so compare similar items and check what delivery includes.
Typical prices by job
| Job | What it involves | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Small side table | Basic used table, visible wear | $20 - $100 |
| Used dresser | Standard size, functional drawers | $75 - $300 |
| Used sofa | Everyday fabric sofa, good condition | $150 - $700 |
| Solid wood dining set | Table and chairs, sound construction | $300 - $1,500 |
Ranges are typical, not quotes - the price for your job depends on scope and location, so always confirm with the provider.
What affects the price
Condition and construction matter: sturdy hardwood pieces usually cost more than flat-pack furniture, while scratches, stains, loose joints, or missing hardware can lower a price. Brand, age, style, and whether a piece is an uncommon vintage design also affect what sellers ask.
Prices vary by location and sales channel. Thrift stores and private listings may be less expensive than curated resale shops, which often inspect, clean, or restore items. Delivery, stairs, and limited access can add to the total.
How to pay less
Compare several listings for the same type and condition, and inspect furniture in person when possible. Ask about odors, pests, repairs, and delivery before agreeing to buy; a low asking price may not include moving costs.
Be flexible about color and style, look for bundle discounts, and consider minor repairs only if the total still makes sense. When collecting quotes through Reedleys, every number comes from a real, checked listing.
Cost questions
Avoid paying before confirming the item exists and agreeing on pickup or delivery details. Use a payment method with a record, and get the deposit terms in writing.
Condition, materials, brand, seller type, and local demand can all change the asking price. Delivery and restoration may also be included in one listing but charged separately in another.
Open drawers, test joints and doors, and inspect upholstery seams and hidden surfaces. Ask directly about smoke, pets, pests, and any repairs.
