What garden furniture is worth
What lifts the price
- Teak and hardwood sets that weather well
- Original covers included
What pulls it down
- Faded and brittle rattan, especially synthetic
- Mouldy or missing cushions
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.
Photograph
- One chair and the table close up, showing the material and finish
- Any rust, split weave, cracked slat, wobbling joint or fading
Put in the description
- Material, and whether it has been stored under cover or left out
- Whether it folds, stacks or dismantles for transport
Material and set size lead: “Rattan Garden Furniture Set, 4 Seater with Cushions” or “Teak Garden Table and 6 Chairs”. Teak, rattan, aluminium and steel are entirely different markets and prices, so name the material first and say whether cushions are included.
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.
