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
- Vintage pieces carry a stamped or branded mark underneath or inside a drawer, often naming E Gomme on the earliest examples
- 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
- 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 console table, whatever the label
Console tables are narrow hallway pieces, so dimensions and whether it is solid wood decide the price.
- Solid wood and recognised design pieces
- Stable frames with no wobble
- Working drawers where fitted
- Narrow depths suited to hallways
And what pulls one down
- Wobbling legs and loose joints
- Water rings and heat marks on the top
- Veneer lifting at the edges
- Deep tables that block narrow hallways
Working out what yours is worth
- Press each corner to test for wobble
- Measure height, width and especially depth
- Photograph the top in daylight
What to state in the listing
- Length, depth and height
- Material and finish
- Storage — drawers, shelf or open
- Whether it needs wall fixing for stability, and the top condition
Style, dimensions and storage: “Console Table, 100x35cm, 2 Drawers, Oak”. Depth in the title is unusual and it works, because buyers with a narrow hallway are searching for exactly that measurement.
Preparing and photographing it
- Measure the depth carefully as well as length and height, since narrow hallways are exactly why people buy consoles.
- Check the top surface and any drawer runners, and test for wobble.
- Look underneath for a maker’s mark and check whether it is designed to be wall fixed.
- The table against a wall, front on
- A tape measure showing the depth
- The top surface across the light
- Any drawer open, the legs, and every chip or mark
When it sells best, and handing it over
Steady year round with a lift in January and late summer. Narrow consoles sell fastest because hallway space is always the constraint.
Long but light, and most fit in an estate car. Give the length so the buyer brings the right vehicle.
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 console table worth?
Roughly £24 to £144 depending on condition, against £20 to £120 for console tables generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.
