Selling garden furniture in Edinburgh
Edinburgh is a university and finance city whose population swells enormously every August for the festival, and that single month does more to move second-hand goods here than any other part of the year. Outside it, the Old and New Town tenement stock means most people live in flats and buy furniture to fit them.
The Old Town is steep, cobbled and awkward for vehicles, with restricted access on several streets, so anything heavy needs a conversation about where a van can actually stop. Trams and buses cover the rest of the city and handle small handovers fine.
Check vehicle access before agreeing to collect anything heavy from the Old Town. Several streets are restricted or effectively impassable for a van, and the nearest legal stopping point can be a long carry.
Edinburgh, in Scotland, has around 530,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Edinburgh

What garden furniture is worth
What lifts the price
- Teak and hardwood sets that weather well
- Complete sets with all chairs and cushions
What pulls it down
- Rusted steel frames
- Faded and brittle rattan, especially synthetic
Working out what yours is worth
- Check every joint and frame for rust or splitting
- Photograph it assembled, in daylight
Getting it ready
- Check every joint and bolt on folding or modular pieces, and count the chairs against the table.
- Assess the cushions separately and honestly. Faded, damp or mildewed cushions are worth nothing and can drag the whole set down.

Put in the description
- Exactly what is in the set, counted, with table dimensions
- Whether cushions are included, and their honest condition
Collection, and usually a van. Stack the chairs and have it out and ready before they arrive, because loading a full set takes longer than anyone expects.
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.

Has it been left outside all winter?
