Used dining chairs in the UAE typically sell for AED 99 to AED 740 (about $27 to $200). Dining chairs sell as sets, and a set of six is worth far more than six chairs sold individually.

Selling dining chairs 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.
Domestic courier coverage is quick and cheap by international standards, and most of the population is within a short drive of everyone else.
Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.

Sell your Dining Chairs 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
- Sit on each chair and rock it gently. Loose joints are the standard fault and are worth mentioning honestly rather than hoping.
- Tighten any accessible screws or bolts under the seat, and check the glides or feet are all present.
Photograph
- One chair alone, straight on, showing shape and proportions
- The seat and back where wear concentrates, including any fabric or leather damage
- The underside joints, plus a close-up of any wobble point, split or repair
Put in the description
- How many chairs, and whether they are identical
- Seat height and overall height in centimetres, because these have to work with a specific table
- Whether any chair has a loose joint, split or stained seat, said per chair
Collection. Four chairs fill a car and six generally will not, so tell the buyer the set dimensions in advance and let them arrange the right vehicle rather than making two trips.
Strongest in late summer and the run-up to Christmas, when people are setting up dining rooms. A matching set of four or six in a common style sells within two to three weeks.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 741 a buyer pays is the AED 741 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 dining chairs 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.
Will you split the set?
Decide before you list. Splitting usually earns less overall and leaves you with the awkward remainder, so it is normally worth holding out for a whole-set buyer.
Should I sell dining chairs as a set?
Yes, always. A matched set of four or six sells for far more than the same chairs individually.
Can wobbling chairs be fixed?
Often yes, by re-gluing the joints. It is worth doing before selling since wobble is what buyers test.
