What a used garden 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 garden tables, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £150 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £127 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £97 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £67 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £37 | 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 table
- Teak and hardwood that weathers gracefully
- Powder-coated aluminium with no corrosion
- Toughened glass tops with no chips
- Listing in spring, when demand peaks
What lowers it
- Rusted steel frames
- Chipped or cracked glass tops
- Split and greying softwood
- Listing in autumn, when demand collapses
How to work out what yours is worth
- Check every joint and frame section for rust or splitting
- Inspect all glass edges for chips
- Measure the top and state the seating capacity
Once you have those three answers you can place your own garden 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
When do garden tables sell best?
Spring, clearly. The same table is worth noticeably more in April than in September.
Does weathered teak reduce value?
Not much. Teak greys naturally and many buyers prefer it, though a light sand and oil lifts the price for little effort.
Are glass tops a problem?
Chipped edges weaken toughened glass and can lead to shattering. Check every edge and disclose any chip.
