What a used garden furniture is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for garden furnitures, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £300 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £255 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £195 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £135 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £75 | 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 garden furniture
- Teak and hardwood sets that weather well
- Powder-coated aluminium with no corrosion
- Complete sets with all chairs and cushions
- Original covers included
What lowers it
- Rusted steel frames
- Faded and brittle rattan, especially synthetic
- Mouldy or missing cushions
- Incomplete sets with mismatched chairs
How to work out what yours is worth
- Check every joint and frame for rust or splitting
- Count the chairs and cushions against the original set
- Photograph it assembled, in daylight
Once you have those three answers you can place your own garden furniture 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
When do garden furniture sales peak?
Spring, strongly. The same set can be worth noticeably more in April than in September.
Does weathered teak reduce the value?
Not much. Teak greys naturally and many buyers prefer it, though a light sand and oil lifts the price for little effort.
Are missing cushions a problem?
Yes, because matching replacements are difficult. Mention clearly what is and is not included.
