If you are looking forward to buying used furniture in Austin, TX, it’s important to have an in-depth understanding of how to identify value in used furniture―which still has life and can be enjoyed without refinishing. So, here are some tips that can help you make the right choices.


A Wide Range of Options Available


The used furniture market is vast different designs, types, shapes, material, sizes, and colors are available in a wide variety. You may be looking for some pieces to be highly functional while some may be meant for decorative purposes, or both; it’s challenging but not difficult to find furniture pieces that have both functionality and form.


Choosing the Right Furniture


Choosing furniture pieces is more of a personal choice, even for your office. It is you and your team that you rely on that is going to be using it for a long time to come. Therefore, if you’re going down the used furniture path, consider these tips.


  • It is not very hard to find used furniture. It’s available almost anywhere, from neighborhood garage sales, flea markets, furniture stores, and estate auctions. Today, even major online retailers like eBay and Craigslist offer them.


  • Visit often and explore the options available. Chances are, you will eventually come across the perfect furniture piece to fit your needs.


  • If you are setting up your new office, you’ll probably want some attractive and practical office furniture. For the best options, visit an office furniture warehouse where you can touch and feel the furniture in person.


  • If you’re on a major budget you can check out damaged furniture as an option. Keep in mind that a restoration or refinishing project may cost next to nothing. Note: while considering pieces be realistic and don’t take on any restoration projects that might be too much.


  • Give your used furniture a 360 check-up to identify any issues, such as broken parts, cracking, rough edges, or torn upholstery, and see if it is truly salvageable. If you are not sure of your restoration skills, start small.


  • Seek the advice of your friends, interior decorators, family members, colleagues, or an auctioneer. You can also check out architectural digest and internet decorating magazines (Pinterest is huge for this!) to get an idea of which furniture pieces would suit your needs perfectly.


  • If you are looking for antique or vintage furniture, decide upon the period from which you would like to buy your furniture from. For instance, when looking for Victorian-era furniture, see if it has joints or breaks as it may be a tell-tale sign of a copy rather than an original piece.


  • When looking for used furniture, the low price-point is a great incentive but should not be the only consideration. It’s important to reflact upon your over-arching style, design, size and space to ensure it is just the right choice for you.
