Made.com Floor Lamps Resale Value

Made.com floor lamps: 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 floor lamp, whatever the label

Lighting sells modestly unless it is a design piece, where the maker can matter more than the condition.

• Recognised design and mid-century pieces
• Original shades in matching condition
• Safe, modern wiring or a recent rewire
• Marble or weighted bases that are undamaged

And what pulls one down

• Perished or fabric-covered original wiring
• Torn, stained or replacement shades
• Chipped marble and cracked bases
• Generic modern lamps, which sell for very little

Working out what yours is worth

1. Check the flex and plug for perishing or damage
2. Inspect the shade in daylight for tears and staining
3. Look for a maker’s mark on the base

What to state in the listing

• Overall height, and base diameter or footprint
• Material of the stand and the shade, stated separately
• Bulb fitting type and maximum wattage, from the label near the lampholder
• Whether the cable, plug and switch are sound, and whether the shade is included

Style, material and height: “Brass Arc Floor Lamp, 180cm, Marble Base” or “Mid Century Tripod Floor Lamp, Teak”. Height matters because buyers are matching a specific corner, and the shade fitting type matters to anyone planning to replace it.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Plug it in and test it with a working bulb. Check the switch, and flex the cable gently along its length looking for cracked insulation.
2. Inspect the plug for scorching and the cable entry at the base and the lampholder, which are the wear points.
3. Clean the shade carefully. Fabric shades mark permanently, so dust rather than wipe unless you know the material.

1. The lamp assembled and upright, whole, against a plain wall
2. The lamp switched on, so the buyer can see it works and how it throws light
3. The base, the switch and the plug
4. The shade inside and out, plus any dent, chip, rust or cable damage

When it sells best, and handing it over

Steady all year, with a clear lift from September as evenings draw in and again in January. Mid-century and designer pieces sell within days; generic lamps take a couple of weeks.

Awkward rather than heavy. Most dismantle into a base, stem and shade, which makes them postable — but pack the shade in its own box, because it will crush against the base otherwise.

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 floor lamp worth?

Roughly £14 to £81 depending on condition, against £16 to £90 for floor lamps 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 £47 for a Made.com floor lamp, 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.
