Ah, the wonderful world wide web. It’s full of great content and endless resources, if you know where to look that is. As online secondhand shopping has become prevalent there are more options to consider than ever before. And when it comes to shopping online for used furniture, things can get tricky. Even when you do find a site that seems to work for you you’ll spend hours searching for the right piece only to be ghosted by the seller, or to realize you have no way to get that piece home and up a flight of stairs (shoutout NYC walkups). In the interest of not wasting your time on what doesn’t serve you we’ve rounded up the pros and cons of all the best places to buy used furniture online. Happy shopping!
1. AptDeco
AptDeco is every sustainable queen’s dream. Rooted in sustainability and ease, AptDeco is a peer-to-peer marketplace offering an expansive selection of gently furniture from popular brands, as well as unique vintage finds.

We make sure that you’re buying quality products from authentic sellers through our verification process.

2. Chairish
Chairish is a curated furniture and decor hub for rare vintage, antique and contemporary pieces. They focus on high-end, hard-to-find pieces and pride themselves on their curatorial eye. Similar to AptDeco, Chairish offers shipping and has a satisfaction guarantee, meaning you won’t be left with a piece that isn’t as-advertised. Also check out their recently-acquired European sister, Pamono. Pamono offers a service to Chairish, but sells from regions that Chairish doesn’t.

3. OfferUp
OfferUp is a local customer-to-customer marketplace that’s great if you’re looking for a bargain. They’re almost like the equivalent of a thrift store. There’s a lot to sift through, but if you have the patience you can find exactly what you want. OfferUp is also great for DIYers as you’ll often find pieces that need a bit of love at a deep discount. Since OfferUp is more of a self-service platform, there’s not a clear satisfaction guarantee. However, they do offer secure buying with vetted sellers and safe meet up spots.
Product selection: Anything & everything
Price: $
Recommended for: Deal-seekers, patient purchasers, DIYers
Delivery: Local pickup only, with some sellers offering shipping
4. Apartment Therapy Bazaar
Apartment Therapy Bazaar is known for the interior decorating community they’ve built, so it’s no shock that their marketplace ended up on our list. They offer used and vintage styles at a wide price range. While their service is primarily focused on local pickup, there are some items that you can have shipped. In terms of security, users log in through their social profiles, which helps give that added level of user trust. Bazaar also handles secure payments through the site.
Product selection: A range of styles, with a focus on vintage and mid-century picks
Price: $$$
Recommended for: Mid-century modernists, vintage lovers, interior designers
Delivery: Mostly local pickup with delivery available on select items

7. Facebook Marketplace
Facebook Marketplace: you know it, you have a love/hate relationship with it. With over 2 million users, you have a great chance of finding what you need, it just may take more time to do so. Similar to OfferUp, patience is key here. If finding a great deal is more important to you than convenience, then Facebook Marketplace is the spot for you. The platform is mostly bare bones, but they now allow sellers to offer delivery on select items as an added bonus. Sellers aren’t verified, but they are linked to their Facebook profiles so you can vet them yourself.
Product selection: Anything & everything
Price: $
Recommended for: Deal-seekers, patient purchasers
Delivery: Local pickup only

Sunbeam isn’t a marketplace, meaning there are no sellers, there’s no haggling, and you won’t have an issue with items not being as advertised.
