Used armchairs in Burnaby typically sell for C$57 to C$375 (about $40 to $270). Frame quality decides everything here: a good frame can be reupholstered indefinitely, a poor one cannot be saved.
Selling an armchair in Burnaby
Burnaby sits directly east of the largest city in the province and contains a major university on a mountain, one of the largest shopping centres in the country and a great deal of film production. It is dense, diverse and connected by rapid transit rather than suburban in any traditional sense.
The university clears student housing every spring, and the rental market across the region is expensive enough that people move frequently. Tower living also means furniture is sold rather than stored when it no longer fits.
The rapid transit line runs through the city and the stations are the natural meeting points for anything portable. Tower housing is common, so confirm lift access and loading-bay booking before agreeing to collect furniture.
In tower housing, confirm lift access and whether the building requires a loading bay to be booked. Many buildings here do, and turning up without one wastes an afternoon for both of you.
Handing it over in Burnaby
Shipping cost is the single commonest reason a Canadian listing stalls. Decide collection versus courier before you price it, and say which you are offering.

What armchairs are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid hardwood frames with tight joints
- Fire safety labels still attached
What pulls it down
- Sagging seats and collapsed webbing
- Missing fire labels, which limit resale in some markets
Working out what yours is worth
- Rock it gently to check the frame does not flex
- Check the fire label is present under the seat
Getting it ready
- Vacuum the seat and get down the sides of the cushion — buyers notice crumbs and coins before they notice the upholstery.
- Look underneath for a fire safety label. In the UK, upholstered furniture made since 1988 should carry one, and buyers increasingly ask.

- The upholstery material, and whether the cover is removable or washable
- Any stain, tear, sagging or pet damage, stated before it is asked about
Collection almost always. Measure your doorways and stairwell before you list, tell the buyer which floor it is on, and agree who is lifting before they arrive with a car that is too small.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Will it fit through my door?
Give the width at the widest point, which is usually the arms, not the base. Most standard interior doors are around 76cm, so anything above that needs the buyer to plan — say so rather than let them discover it.
