Furniture graded Like New is worth about 85% of the same item unused, which across this category is $11 to $630 (about £8 to £468). Used briefly with nothing to point at. No ring marks on the top, no sag in the seat, and every joint still tight when it is rocked.
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 New with Tags Furniture and one step down is Good Furniture.

Listing at the Like New grade
Photograph the top surface with light across it rather than straight on. That angle shows rings and scratches, and hiding them is the commonest complaint.
Shots that carry the most weight in furniture:
- Bunk Bed — The bed fully assembled, shot from the side so both bunks and the ladder are visible
- Chest of Drawers — The chest straight on with all drawers closed, in even light
- Coffee Table — The whole table from a standing angle, on a plain floor
- Console Table — The table against a wall, front on
