Selling dining chairs in Saint John
Saint John is an industrial port on a bay with the highest tides in the world, dominated by a refinery and shipping, with a preserved nineteenth-century core that survived the city’s decline. Fog here is a defining feature of the summer rather than an occasional inconvenience.
Industrial shift work runs on its own cycle and the older housing stock turns over with old contents. Damp and fog mean storage conditions matter more here than in most of the country.
Fog here is a summer constant, not an occasional thing. Ask where the item was stored and check any metal fitting for corrosion, particularly on anything kept near the harbour.
Saint John, in New Brunswick, has around 70,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Moncton, Fredericton and Toronto are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Saint John
Canada Post, Purolator and UPS cover the country, but rates change sharply between provinces and remote postcodes carry surcharges.

What dining chairs are worth
What lifts the price
- Complete matched sets of four or six
- Recognised design and mid-century pieces
What pulls it down
- Odd chairs that do not match
- Flat-pack chairs with stripped fixings
Working out what yours is worth
- Sit on each chair and check for wobble
- Count the set and confirm they match exactly
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.
- Clean the seat pads and check underneath for a fire label if they are upholstered.

- Whether any chair has a loose joint, split or stained seat, said per chair
Quantity first, then style and material: “Set of 4 Oak Dining Chairs, Fabric Seats” or “6 Mid Century Teak Dining Chairs”. Buyers search the number, so it belongs at the front. If they are a known design or make, name it — that is what makes the set searchable at all.
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 dining chairs in Saint John?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. The uptown core is compact and hilly with limited parking, so confirm access for anything large. The city is spread around the harbour, so agree which side rather than assuming a short trip.
What is the seat height?
Measure floor to the top of the seat. It is the one dimension that decides whether they work with the buyer’s table, and almost no listing includes it.
