Used dining tables in Ottawa typically sell for C$94 to C$660 (about $67 to $470). Dining tables sell on material and seating capacity, and the two things buyers cannot tell from a photograph are how solid the top is and whether it extends.
Selling a dining table in Ottawa
Ottawa is a government town with stable, well-paid employment and severe winters. Turnover is driven by postings and by the two universities rather than by industry, and the goods that appear are generally well kept.
The city is straightforward to drive with plenty of parking, though the river divides the region and crossing it adds real time. Winter is long enough here to be a genuine planning constraint on anything bulky.
On anything stored in an unheated garage, check seals, batteries and glue joints. Winters here are long enough that a couple of seasons of storage does real damage.
Ottawa, in Ontario, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Toronto, Brampton and Hamilton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ottawa
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.

What dining tables are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid timber construction rather than veneered board
- Recognised mid-century and design makers
What pulls it down
- Veneer lifting or chipping at the edges
- Flat-pack tables that will not survive another move
Working out what yours is worth
- Look at the table edge to see whether the grain runs through or stops
- Photograph the top in daylight so marks are visible
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.
Photograph
- The top surface straight on in daylight, which reveals marks honestly
- Extended, if it extends, and any damage close up
Put in the description
- How many it comfortably seats
- Whether chairs are included, and how many
Sells steadily with peaks in spring and early autumn as people move house. Solid wood holds value well and sells all year; laminate moves slowly and cheaply.
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.
