Made.com Dining Chairs Resale Value

Made.com dining chairs: 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 dining chairs, whatever the label

Dining chairs sell as sets, and a set of six is worth far more than six chairs sold individually.

• Complete matched sets of four or six
• Solid wood frames with tight joints
• Recognised design and mid-century pieces
• Reupholsterable seat pads

And what pulls one down

• Wobbling joints that have worked loose
• Torn or stained seat pads
• Odd chairs that do not match
• Flat-pack chairs with stripped fixings

Working out what yours is worth

1. Sit on each chair and check for wobble
2. Count the set and confirm they match exactly
3. Photograph the set together

What to state in the listing

• How many chairs, and whether they are identical
• Seat height and overall height in centimetres, because these have to work with a specific table
• Frame material and seat covering
• Whether any chair has a loose joint, split or stained seat, said per chair

Quantity first, then style and material: “Set of 4 Oak Dining Chairs, Fabric Seats” or “6 Mid Century Teak Dining Chairs”. Buyers search the number, so it belongs at the front. If they are a known design or make, name it — that is what makes the set searchable at all.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Sit on each chair and rock it gently. Loose joints are the standard fault and are worth mentioning honestly rather than hoping.
2. Tighten any accessible screws or bolts under the seat, and check the glides or feet are all present.
3. Clean the seat pads and check underneath for a fire label if they are upholstered.

1. All the chairs together in one frame, so the set size and the match are obvious
2. One chair alone, straight on, showing shape and proportions
3. The seat and back where wear concentrates, including any fabric or leather damage
4. The underside joints, plus a close-up of any wobble point, split or repair

When it sells best, and handing it over

Strongest in late summer and the run-up to Christmas, when people are setting up dining rooms. A matching set of four or six in a common style sells within two to three weeks.

Collection. Four chairs fill a car and six generally will not, so tell the buyer the set dimensions in advance and let them arrange the right vehicle rather than making two trips.

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 are Made.com dining chairs worth?

Roughly £18 to £135 depending on condition, against £20 to £150 for dining chairs 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 £76 for Made.com dining chairs, 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.
