Good is the grade most second-hand furniture is actually sold at — roughly 65% of top price, or $9 to $482 across the category (about £6 to £358). Used, solid and fully serviceable: it stands square, the drawers run, the joints hold. A wobble or a broken runner drops it to Fair.
Where the line falls
Furniture fails at its joints and its surfaces: glue lets go at the mortices, veneer lifts at the edges, and upholstery goes at the seat front where every sitter lands.
For comparison, one grade up is Like New Furniture and one step down is Fair Furniture.

What to check before you buy
- Armchair — Sit in it and feel whether the seat platform still supports you
- Bed Frame — Dismantle it and bag every bolt and fitting with the frame
- Bedside Table — Open and close every drawer fully
- Bookshelf — Sight along each shelf for sag
- Bunk Bed — Bag every bolt and fitting when dismantling
- Coffee Table — Check every glass edge for chips
- Console Table — Press each corner to test for wobble
- Corner Sofa — Confirm whether it separates and photograph the sections
- Desk — On adjustable desks, run the full height range several times
Listing at the Good grade
Say whether it has been taken apart and rebuilt, and how many times. Flat pack furniture loses strength with every rebuild and buyers know it.
Shots that carry the most weight in furniture:
- Corner Sofa — The whole sofa from a corner, in daylight, whole piece in frame
- Desk — The whole desk from a corner
- Dining Chairs — All the chairs together in one frame, so the set size and the match are obvious
- Dining Table — The full table from a corner, showing top and legs together
On a typical $245 listing, a marketplace charging 20% takes $49, one charging 13.6% takes $33 and one charging 10% takes $25. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $245. Listing is free.

Common questions
Does it wobble at all when you lean on it?
Surface marks and a few rings, softened cushion foam, and edges knocked where it has been moved between rooms.
