Used dining tables in Canada typically sell for C$94 to C$660 (about $67 to $470). Solid wood and design pieces hold value; veneered flat-pack tables do not, and the difference is visible at the edges.

Selling a dining table in Canada
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Canada’s resale market is concentrated in a handful of metro areas separated by very long distances, which makes it unusually collection-led — most buyers are looking for something they can pick up the same week.
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.
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the table edge to see whether the grain runs through or stops
- Measure the length, width and height, extended and closed
Getting it ready
- Measure the top, and if it extends measure both the closed and extended lengths.
- Establish whether it is solid wood, veneer or laminate, and say which — buyers price these very differently.

Put in the description
- How many it comfortably seats
- Solid wood, veneer, laminate or glass
- Whether chairs are included, and how many
Seats, material and length: “Solid Oak Extending Dining Table, Seats 6-8, 180cm”. The number it seats is the primary search, and extending is a strong selling point that should never be buried in the description. If chairs are included, put that in the title too.
Collection only, and mention whether the legs detach, since that decides whether it fits in a car or needs a van. Have the fittings and any allen key ready for the buyer.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the C$661 a buyer pays is the C$661 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 a dining table in Canada?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.
Are the marks on the top sandable?
On solid wood usually yes; on veneer usually not. Say which it is and let the buyer judge whether they want a restoration project.
How much is a used dining table worth?
Solid wood and design pieces hold value well; veneered flat-pack tables sell for very little because they rarely survive a move.
Can water rings be removed?
Often yes, on solid wood, with gentle treatment. On veneer the damage usually goes through the finish and is harder to correct.
