About second-hand furniture we know a thing or two. Over the past 3 years as operators, our team has been compiling one of the most comprehensive databases of online furniture shops in the US.
Here is a summarized and condensed version which you can use to scavenge the piece that you are looking for. Starting with the most popular marketplaces:
Started in 1995 in San Francisco by Craig Newmark, Craigslist still offers the free, basic service that it used to 3 decades ago. Together with Facebook Marketplace it offers one of the largest selections of pre-owned furniture in the United States.
Launched in 2016, FB Marketplace boasts 1 billion monthly active users. Just like Craigslist, the platform is a classified marketplace mostly focused on local trades and transactions. Famous for its “Is it still available?” messages, followed by shameless ghosting.
Industry outsiders are normally surprised when we mention Nextdoor, but this platform actually ranks 3rd in our list of best sites for second-hand furniture. Nextdoor is a hyper-local social network connecting neighbors together, even for selling and shopping! Compared to other platforms, sellers have a higher response rate and are much more friendly.
In 2020 OfferUp acquired LetGo in the US to consolidate its position as a leading classified listings marketplace. You might be able to steal a bargain if you are willing to invest the time in negotiating with sellers. A lot of furniture liquidators have recently turned to this platform, offering a rich catalog of gently used furniture items.
Compared to other other marketplaces, Kashew offers a more curated catalogue. All items posted are sold by professional consignment stores, not individuals. Here you are likely to find top brands like West Elm, Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware at discounted prices. We might be biased, but this is our favorite palace to shop for furniture online.
Chairish is a dinosaur of the industry. It could be claimed that they pioneered online, curated, furniture resale. Positioned in the higher tiers of the price spectrum, it is a great place for vintage furniture and decor. Since its acquisition of the European marketplace Pamono, it now offers a wide variety of European imported furniture.
Like Chairish, AptDeco has been around for a while. The marketplace mostly offers listings from individual sellers, with a widespread presence in New York City and surrounding areas. Recently it started partnering with retailers directly to offer liquidated stock to its customers.
Born in Japan, Mercari has started its US expansion during the pandemic and has since grown its number of listings in the furniture category. Interior items are not its strongest vertical, but you can still find some bargains if you play around with the filters.
More focused on luxury and high end items, 1stDibs offers one of a kind products, normally produced in the last century. Here you will not find name brands and commercial furniture as you would on Kashew or AptDeco.
Just like Kashew, Incollect focuses on giving space to professional resellers, curating a collection of mostly high end items. Compared to all other marketplaces in this list, Incollect does not charge commission on sales to the seller, which normally means that the prices are the same as the ones that you would find in store.
EBTH is an auction site, bringing the auction / estate sale experience online since 2008. Selling on this site can be a thrilling experience and could offer some real bargains if you check the furniture feed periodically.
A San Francisco native, recently rebranded from its previous name (The Local Flea) after the acquisition of an East Bay furniture business. You can visit the Reperch Warehouse in downtown San Francisco to find everything that you might need for the house, from monitors and kitchen appliances to couches and dressers.
Etsy is not originally a resale marketplace, it started as and still focuses on handcrafted goods. The experience with shipping and deliveries has historically been more challenging to navigate around on the site, but shoppers have still been able to have very pleasant experiences buying used and handmade furniture products here.
Again, shipping of used furniture has historically been somewhat challenging on Ebay. Damage rates and shipping times are a bit longer since the platform only offers freight shipping, rather than the more appropriate white glove shipping option. Nonetheless, buying used furniture here is among the most popular choices that shoppers make.
Attic is like a database of furniture listings. You cannot buy furniture directly from here, but you can browse through a large selection of listings and once you find what you are looking for, you will be redirected to the seller’s site to complete the purchase. All listings posted are from professional consignment stores.
Similarly to EBTH, Live Auctioneers is an auction site bringing estate sales online. Founded in 2002 in NYC, it has gained a positive reputation in the resale community by offering a pleasant shipping and selling experience.
Reseat is first and foremost a furniture removal service for corporate offices, but since its earliest days, it has launched its very own marketplace. This is a great place to buy office furniture in bulk, where you can find large quantities of the same item for bargain prices.
And there you have it, these are our top 17 places to shop for used furniture online in 2025. We continue to update our list to bring you the most up to date information. See you in 2026 with the next edition!
