Used coffee tables in Brisbane typically sell for A$38 to A$230 (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 Brisbane
The city has grown quickly through interstate migration, and people arriving from Sydney and Melbourne routinely sell up rather than freight everything north. That produces a steady supply of good furniture at sensible prices.
The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Ask where the item was stored before anything else. Humidity here is hard on upholstery, timber and electronics alike, and something kept in an unventilated garage can be well past saving while still looking fine.
Brisbane has around 2.6 million people in Queensland, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What coffee tables are worth
What lifts the price
- Toughened glass with no chips at the edges
- Storage versions with working drawers
What pulls it down
- Chipped glass edges, which are a safety concern
- Veneer lifting at the corners
Working out what yours is worth
- Press down on each corner to test for wobble
- Photograph the top surface in daylight
Getting it ready
- Clear it and clean the top properly, including into the corners and any glass rebate.
- If it has a glass top, inspect the edges carefully for chips — a chipped edge is a safety point, not a cosmetic one.
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
Put in the description
- Material of the top and the frame, stated separately if they differ
- Whether it has storage — a shelf, drawer or lift top
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.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a coffee table in Brisbane?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. The river cuts the city in half and there are only so many crossings, so which side someone is on matters more than the distance on a map. Most people arrange collection rather than posting, and utes are common enough that furniture moves easily.
Do the legs come off?
Check underneath. Removable legs turn an awkward collection into a boot-sized one, and it is worth knowing before the buyer books a van they did not need.
