What a used console table is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for console tables, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £120 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £102 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £78 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £54 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £30 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a console table
- Solid wood and recognised design pieces
- Stable frames with no wobble
- Working drawers where fitted
- Narrow depths suited to hallways
What lowers it
- Wobbling legs and loose joints
- Water rings and heat marks on the top
- Veneer lifting at the edges
- Deep tables that block narrow hallways
How to work out what yours is worth
- Press each corner to test for wobble
- Measure height, width and especially depth
- Photograph the top in daylight
Once you have those three answers you can place your own console table on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
What matters most on a console table?
Depth. They go in hallways where space is tight, so state the depth prominently — it is what buyers are checking.
Are console tables worth much?
Solid wood and design pieces sell reasonably. Flat-pack ones sell for very little.
Can water rings be removed?
Often on solid wood with gentle treatment. On veneer the damage usually goes through the finish.
