Sell Your Office Chair in the UAE

Used office chairs in the UAE typically sell for AED 150 to AED 890 (about $40 to $240). A small number of well-engineered chairs dominate this market, and the gap between those and everything else is enormous.

Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.

Domestic courier coverage is quick and cheap by international standards, and most of the population is within a short drive of everyone else.

Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.

Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.

Working out what yours is worth

• Check the underside label for the maker and model
• Test every lever and the recline lock

Getting it ready

• Sit in it and check the gas lift holds height for several minutes. A sinking chair needs the cylinder replaced and must be disclosed.
• Test every adjustment: height, tilt, lock, armrests and lumbar support.

Put in the description

• Brand, model and size where applicable
• Whether the gas lift holds height reliably
• Fabric or mesh condition, and whether the castors roll freely

Usually collected. Most office chairs separate into seat, base and back, which makes them fit in a car — say so if yours does, because buyers assume they need a van.

Steady with strong lifts in September and January. Recognised ergonomic brands sell within days at good prices; generic chairs are abundant and cheap.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED  890 a buyer pays is the AED  890 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions

Where can I sell an office chair in the UAE?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.

Do all the adjustments work?

Test each lever individually and list any that do not. Broken tilt locks are common and worth disclosing.

Which used office chairs are worth the most?

A handful of well-engineered ergonomic models hold value strongly because parts remain available and they last decades. Generic chairs sell for very little.

Can a sinking office chair be fixed?

Usually yes — the gas lift is a replaceable part and is not expensive. Mention it honestly and price accordingly.
