Used coffee tables in the UAE typically sell for AED 99 to AED 595 (about $27 to $160). Coffee tables are cheap new at the budget end, so second-hand value concentrates in solid wood, glass and design pieces.

Selling a coffee table in the UAE
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
The UAE has an unusually active second-hand market driven by how often people arrive and leave — relocation sales mean good-quality items turn over quickly and often at well below their age.
Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.
Working out what yours is worth
- Press down on each corner to test for wobble
- Photograph the top surface in daylight
Sell your Coffee Table in the UAE
Listing is free and there is no commission and no buyer fee, so the price you agree is the price you keep. Most listings take about a minute to put up.
Getting it ready
- Clear it and clean the top properly, including into the corners and any glass rebate.
- Check it for wobble on a flat floor and tighten the legs, which loosen over years of being nudged.
Photograph
- The top surface shot across the light so marks are visible rather than hidden
- The legs and the joint where they meet the frame
- Any shelf, drawer or glass edge, plus every scratch or chip close up
Put in the description
- Length, width or diameter, and height in centimetres
- Material of the top and the frame, stated separately if they differ
- The condition of the top surface, described honestly including ring marks
Collection is usual. If the legs unbolt, do it before they arrive and wrap a glass top in a blanket — a chipped edge on the way home is a dispute you cannot resolve afterwards.
Steady year-round, with a lift in January and again in early autumn. Solid wood and mid-century shapes sell within a couple of weeks; heavy glass tables move more slowly because buyers with small children avoid them.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 593 a buyer pays is the AED 593 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a coffee table in the UAE?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Is the glass toughened?
Look for an etched mark in a corner and say what you find. If there is no mark, say you cannot confirm it rather than assuming.
How much is a used coffee table worth?
Modest sums for ordinary ones; solid wood and design pieces hold value far better. Condition of the top does most of the pricing.
Is a chipped glass top dangerous?
Chips at the edge weaken toughened glass and can lead to it shattering. Disclose any chip clearly or do not sell it.
