Selling garden furniture in San Francisco
San Francisco is expensive, hilly and built largely of older buildings without lifts, and all three facts shape what actually sells. Small, well-made furniture moves; large pieces are difficult to get into a flat at all, and buyers know it.
Parking is the hardest part of any collection here and the hills are not a joke on a bike. Establish which floor, whether there is a lift, and where a vehicle can legally stop, before agreeing anything larger than a box.
Establish where a vehicle can legally stop before you agree to collect anything large. Between the hills, the permit zones and the lack of lifts, access is the hard part of almost every sale here.
San Francisco, in California, has around 810,000 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. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What garden furniture is worth
What lifts the price
- Complete sets with all chairs and cushions
- Original covers included
What pulls it down
- Rusted steel frames
- Faded and brittle rattan, especially synthetic
Working out what yours is worth
- Count the chairs and cushions against the original set
- Photograph it assembled, in daylight
Getting it ready
- Wash everything down and let it dry fully. Green algae film comes off with soapy water and takes years off the appearance.
- Check every joint and bolt on folding or modular pieces, and count the chairs against the table.
Photograph
- The full set laid out together outdoors, so the buyer sees exactly what they get
- One chair and the table close up, showing the material and finish
Put in the description
- Exactly what is in the set, counted, with table dimensions
- Material, and whether it has been stored under cover or left out
A short, sharp season from April to July. Listing in spring is worth substantially more than the same set in September, so if it is autumn, storing it until March is usually the better decision.
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

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. Parking is the hardest part of any collection here and the hills are not a joke on a bike. Establish which floor, whether there is a lift, and where a vehicle can legally stop, before agreeing anything larger than a box.
Has it been left outside all winter?
Answer honestly. Buyers can read weathering in the photographs anyway, and admitting it while pointing out that teak greys harmlessly is far stronger than a vague claim.
