G Plan Dining Tables Resale Value

G Plan dining 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 dining table, whatever the label

Solid wood and design pieces hold value; veneered flat-pack tables do not, and the difference is visible at the edges.

• Solid timber construction rather than veneered board
• Recognised mid-century and design makers
• Extending mechanisms that run smoothly
• Matching chairs sold with the table

And what pulls one down

• Water rings and heat marks on the top
• Veneer lifting or chipping at the edges
• Wobbling legs and loose joints
• Flat-pack tables that will not survive another move

Working out what yours is worth

1. Look at the table edge to see whether the grain runs through or stops
2. Measure the length, width and height, extended and closed
3. Photograph the top in daylight so marks are visible

What to state in the listing

• Length, width and height in centimetres, plus extended length if applicable
• How many it comfortably seats
• Solid wood, veneer, laminate or glass
• Whether chairs are included, and how many

Seats, material and length: “Solid Oak Extending Dining Table, Seats 6-8, 180cm”. The number it seats is the primary search, and extending is a strong selling point that should never be buried in the description. If chairs are included, put that in the title too.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Measure the top, and if it extends measure both the closed and extended lengths.
2. Check for wobble, tighten the leg fittings, and look closely at the top surface for water rings, heat marks and scratches.
3. Establish whether it is solid wood, veneer or laminate, and say which — buyers price these very differently.

1. The full table from a corner, showing top and legs together
2. The top surface straight on in daylight, which reveals marks honestly
3. The underside or leg fixings, showing construction
4. Extended, if it extends, and any damage close up

When it sells best, and handing it over

Sells steadily with peaks in spring and early autumn as people move house. Solid wood holds value well and sells all year; laminate moves slowly and cheaply.

Collection only, and mention whether the legs detach, since that decides whether it fits in a car or needs a van. Have the fittings and any allen key ready for the buyer.

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 dining table worth?

Roughly £60 to £420 depending on condition, against £50 to £350 for dining 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 £240 for a G Plan dining table, against what the commission marketplaces would deduct:

Seller-side rates verified 26 Jul 2026, percentages only — the per-order and processing charges those platforms add are excluded, so the real gap is wider.
