Used dining tables in Dubai typically sell for AED 245 to AED 1,750 (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 Dubai
Dubai has one of the most transient populations of any major city, and that is the whole story for second-hand goods here. Expatriate residents arrive on fixed contracts and leave when they end, and a departing household typically sells everything it owns in the space of a fortnight rather than shipping it.
The city is built around the main highway spine and almost everything is collected by car, so which side of the city someone is on matters. Most residential towers and compounds require the buyer to be registered at the gate, so agree access before anyone sets off.
Ask when the seller is leaving the country. A departure date is the single most useful piece of information in this market, because it tells you how much room there is on price and how firm the deadline is.
Dubai has around 3.6 million people in Dubai, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dubai
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
What dining tables are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised mid-century and design makers
- Matching chairs sold with the table
What pulls it down
- Water rings and heat marks on the top
- Veneer lifting or chipping at the edges
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
- Length, width and height in centimetres, plus extended length if applicable
- How many it comfortably seats
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a dining table in Dubai?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city is built around the main highway spine and almost everything is collected by car, so which side of the city someone is on matters. Most residential towers and compounds require the buyer to be registered at the gate, so agree access before anyone sets off.
Is it solid wood?
Look at the edge: solid wood shows continuous grain through the edge, veneer shows a thin layer over board. Answer honestly, because buyers check at collection.
