Made.com Desks Resale Value

Made.com desks: 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 Made.com

• Design-led pieces in good condition, which is what the brand was bought for and what buyers still search by name
• Velvet and bouclé upholstery in the distinctive colours the brand used, which are hard to find elsewhere at any price
• Pieces with all original fixings and assembly instructions, which matter more than usual because replacements cannot be ordered
• Marble and solid-wood topped tables, which are the materials that survive rather than the veneered ones

What pulls Made.com resale value down

• Damaged or stained upholstery, since replacement covers can no longer be ordered from anyone
• Missing fixings and bolts, which on flat-pack furniture from a closed company means sourcing generic substitutes
• Upholstery with no fire-safety label, which UK buyers check for under the cushions
• Chipped veneer and foil edges, which are the usual failure on the lower-priced ranges and cannot be repaired invisibly

Identifying and dating yours

1. Say in the listing that parts and covers are no longer available, because a buyer will find out and it is better coming from you
2. Photograph the label under the seat, which carries the range name and the fire safety information
3. Count and photograph every fixing and the instructions if you still have them, since they cannot be replaced

What lifts any desk, whatever the label

Desks divide sharply between ordinary tables and height-adjustable models, and the two sell in very different brackets.

• Electric height-adjustable frames in working order
• Solid wood tops with no sagging
• Cable management and grommets intact
• Recognised office and design brands

And what pulls one down

• Failed lifting motors or controllers on sit-stand desks
• Sagging particleboard tops
• Scratched and water-marked surfaces
• Very large corner desks that suit few rooms

Working out what yours is worth

1. On adjustable desks, run the full height range several times
2. Sight along the top for sag
3. Measure the footprint including any return

What to state in the listing

• Worktop width and depth, and height from the floor
• Material: solid wood, veneer, laminate or glass
• Number of drawers, and whether it has cable management
• Whether it dismantles, and whether the fittings are included

Dimensions and type: “Solid Wood Writing Desk, 120cm x 60cm, 3 Drawers”. Width in centimetres is the primary search because buyers have a gap to fill. Say if it is a standing or height-adjustable desk, which is a separate and higher-value search.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Measure the worktop width and depth, and the height from floor to surface.
2. Check for wobble, tighten the fittings, and inspect the top for scratches, ring marks and cable holes.
3. Establish whether it dismantles and whether you have the fittings.

1. The whole desk from a corner
2. The worktop straight on in daylight, showing its actual condition
3. The underside, showing construction and any cable management
4. Any drawers open, plus damage or wear

When it sells best, and handing it over

Steady with strong lifts in September and January, and around moving season. Height-adjustable and solid wood desks sell fastest.

Collection, and dismantling first makes it far easier. Keep the fittings together in a labelled bag.

What buyers ask

Can I still get replacement covers or parts?

No. The company ceased trading in 2022, so spares, covers and warranty support are gone. Sell the piece as it stands and say so plainly.

Does that make the furniture worth less?

It makes damaged pieces worth much less, because they cannot be put right. Undamaged pieces still sell well — the designs are what people wanted in the first place.

How much is a Made.com desk worth?

Roughly £27 to £162 depending on condition, against £30 to £180 for desks 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 £94 for a Made.com desk, 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.
