Used garden tables in Bristol typically sell for £25 to £150 (about $34 to $200). Garden tables sell on material, seating capacity and whether the glass or slats have survived the winter — and toughened glass tops are the thing to check hardest.
Selling a garden table in Bristol
Bristol has an unusually strong independent and second-hand culture, and buying used here is mainstream rather than niche. It is also a serious cycling city, both for commuting and for sport, so bikes and parts change hands constantly and buyers know what they are looking at.
Two large universities give the usual summer turnover, and the concentration of house-shares across the north of the city means furniture and kitchen kit moves between households constantly rather than only in June.
The city is hilly and the centre is congested, so a lot of people genuinely do collect small things by bike. For anything larger, the harbourside and central streets are tight on parking and it is worth agreeing a specific spot rather than an area.
On a used bike, ask about the frame first and the components second. Components are replaceable and a cracked or repaired frame is not, and it is the one thing photographs routinely hide.
Handing it over in Bristol
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work.
What garden tables are worth
What lifts the price
- Teak and hardwood that weathers gracefully
- Listing in spring, when demand peaks
What pulls it down
- Chipped or cracked glass tops
- Listing in autumn, when demand collapses
Working out what yours is worth
- Check every joint and frame section for rust or splitting
- Measure the top and state the seating capacity
Getting it ready
- Wash it down and let it dry, then check every joint and the mechanism on anything extending.
- Check the parasol hole and cap are present, and that the feet or glides have not rusted away.
Photograph
- The top surface straight down, showing slats, glass or mosaic condition
- The glass edges close up, plus any rust, split slat, chip or fading
Put in the description
- Material of the top and frame, stated separately
- Whether it has a parasol hole, and the condition of the top
Collection. Glass tops travel separately, flat and blanketed, never on edge in a boot. Have the table clear and the parasol removed before they arrive.
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 garden table in Bristol?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city is hilly and the centre is congested, so a lot of people genuinely do collect small things by bike. For anything larger, the harbourside and central streets are tight on parking and it is worth agreeing a specific spot rather than an area.
Are chairs included?
State it plainly. Tables are often sold alone and buyers have learned to check, so answering it up front saves the exchange entirely.
