The 9 Best Places to Buy Used Furniture Online

Ah, the won­der­ful world wide web. It’s full of great con­tent and end­less resources, if you know where to look that is. As online sec­ond­hand shop­ping has become preva­lent there are more options to con­sid­er than ever before. And when it comes to shop­ping online for used fur­ni­ture, things can get tricky. Even when you do find a site that seems to work for you you’ll spend hours search­ing for the right piece only to be ghost­ed by the sell­er, or to real­ize you have no way to get that piece home and up a flight of stairs (shoutout NYC walkups). In the inter­est of not wast­ing your time on what does­n’t serve you we’ve round­ed up the pros and cons of all the best places to buy used fur­ni­ture online. Hap­py shopping!

Also check out their recent­ly-acquired Euro­pean sis­ter, Pamono. Pamono offers a ser­vice to Chairish, but sells from regions that Chairish doesn’t.

3. OfferUp

Offer­Up is a local cus­tomer-to-cus­tomer mar­ket­place that’s great if you’re look­ing for a bar­gain. They’re almost like the equiv­a­lent of a thrift store. There’s a lot to sift through, but if you have the patience you can find exact­ly what you want. Offer­Up is also great for DIY­ers as you’ll often find pieces that need a bit of love at a deep dis­count. Since Offer­Up is more of a self-ser­vice plat­form, there’s not a clear sat­is­fac­tion guar­an­tee. How­ev­er, they do offer secure buy­ing with vet­ted sell­ers and safe meet up spots.

Sim­i­lar to Offer­Up, patience is key here. If find­ing a great deal is more impor­tant to you than con­ve­nience, then Face­book Mar­ket­place is the spot for you. The plat­form is most­ly bare bones, but they now allow sell­ers to offer deliv­ery on select items as an added bonus.
