G Plan Bedside Tables Resale Value

G Plan bedside tables: price by condition

Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.

What holds its value across G Plan

• The Fresco range in teak, which is the most recognised G Plan line and is bought by people who know it by name
• Quadrille and the other early E Gomme ranges, which predate the modern business and are treated as period furniture
• Original sideboards and chests with their untouched teak finish, which are the shapes mid-century buyers are hunting for
• Pieces retaining the original stamp or label underneath, which places them in the vintage line rather than the current one

What pulls G Plan resale value down

• Modern G Plan recliner sofas, which are competent furniture but depreciate like any other high-street upholstery
• Lifted or bubbled teak veneer, which is common where a piece has stood near a radiator and is a specialist repair
• Water rings and heat marks on the tops, which sit through the finish and cannot be polished out without refinishing
• Replaced handles and feet on the vintage cabinets, which are specific to the range and immediately obvious to anyone who collects it

Identifying and dating yours

1. Vintage pieces carry a stamped or branded mark underneath or inside a drawer, often naming E Gomme on the earliest examples
2. Teak and afromosia have distinct colours and grain; the range name is what buyers search, so identify it before listing rather than writing just G Plan
3. Check whether the carcass is solid timber or veneered board, since the earlier solid construction is worth more and is visible at the drawer edges

What lifts any bedside table, whatever the label

Bedside tables sell in pairs, and drawer runners are the thing buyers test before anything else.

• Matching pairs sold together
• Solid wood with dovetailed drawers
• Drawers that run smoothly
• Recognised design and mid-century pieces

And what pulls one down

• Sticking or dropping drawers
• Water rings on the top
• Odd single tables
• Particleboard with sagging drawer bases

Working out what yours is worth

1. Open and close every drawer fully
2. Check the pair match exactly
3. Measure height, width and depth

What to state in the listing

• Height, width and depth
• Number of drawers or shelves
• Material and finish
• Whether sold as a pair or single, and the top and drawer condition

Style, drawers and quantity: “Pair of Oak Bedside Tables, 2 Drawer, 55cm High”. Pairs sell for considerably more than singles, so lead with the quantity. Height is the second search because it needs to match the bed.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Measure the height, and note that it wants to sit near mattress height to be useful.
2. Check drawer runners and any cable hole, and test for wobble.
3. Clean the top and check for ring marks and water damage, which is common on bedside surfaces.

1. The table from a standing angle, whole
2. The top surface across the light
3. The drawer open, showing the runner and interior
4. The back and legs, plus any chip, mark or missing handle

When it sells best, and handing it over

Steady year round with a January and late-summer lift. Matching pairs in neutral finishes sell within days.

Small and easy to collect, and a pair fits in most car boots. Give the dimensions so the buyer knows before setting off.

What buyers ask

Is modern G Plan the same as vintage G Plan?

No. The vintage cabinets from the 1960s and 1970s are collected mid-century pieces; the current upholstery business is separate and its sofas sell as ordinary furniture.

Should I refinish a teak G Plan sideboard?

Clean and oil it rather than stripping it. Buyers of mid-century furniture want the original finish, and a heavy refinish usually lowers the price rather than raising it.

How much is a G Plan bedside table worth?

Roughly £14 to £84 depending on condition, against £12 to £70 for bedside tables generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.

What the fees would take elsewhere

At the mid-range £49 for a G Plan bedside table, against what the commission marketplaces would deduct:
