1. Lower Prices
The most popular reason to buy something used is to SAVE some money, and furniture is a great item that can often keep more money in your pocket if you can buy used. Especially on items that take little wear and tear such as accent tables, bookcases, display cabinets, etc. You can often get a piece of furniture at a fraction of the cost of what you would spend new, and you may never notice the difference. 2. Character & Craftmanship How does the old saying go? "They don't make them like they used to!". This can be especially true in furniture, where it was very common years ago to use materials such as solid woods, hand tied springs, hand carving, and other features in furniture. This type of craftmanship is becoming a lost art today, as the marketplace has been driven by low cost goods in the mass market. 3. Uniqueness With the growth of the Big Box Retailer in todays culture there is less choice than we used to have, many people want to have something unique in their home that maybe their neighbor or friend does not have. 4. Recycle What a better reason to buy something new than to help keep down the use of natural materials used by unnecessary consumption? Rather than letting something go to waste, when you buy or donate used furniture someone else may be able to reuse or repurpose your furniture. This helps keep natural resources in the natural use of their life cycle and reduce landfill waste. 5. Repurpose & Make it your Own One of the most popular trends in design today is to "Repurpose" furniture and other materials to be used in decor. Through the internet we now are able to get just about any idea of how to refinish, repaint, repair, or even remake just about anything. Maybe you have been looking everywhere for that pink dresser for your daughters room, but can't seem to find it anywhere. With the low cost of used furniture, your problems may be solved with just a little sweat and a gallon of paint, and on top of it all when someone asks, "Where did you get that great piece of furniture?" you can say you made it all yourself!

Buying consigned furniture makes perfect sense. New stuff is great, but when it comes to tables and chairs, second-hand is just as good, in my opinion. Like you said, older furniture has better craftsmanship anyway. 7/11/2017 09:38:22 am
I really like how this article mentions that second-hand furniture can not only be unique, but more environmentally friendly as well. When my husband and I bought our first house we never considered getting used furniture, but I can see how it can be even better than getting it new. I'll be sure to share this information with him as we get furniture for some empty rooms in our house! 12/26/2017 06:05:01 am
This is really true because I love buying second-hand furniture. Furniture created nowadays are not that sturdy and has good quality like furniture from the past. It is also great because I get them with a lower price and I helped in recycling unused items. Once I have bought a second-hand couch. The seller told me he owned it for almost ten years and until it has already been with us for five years. It's really great rather than buying a new one and it will only last for two years. 8/28/2017 03:46:17 am

Thank you for sharing quite a handful of benefits in buying second-hand furniture in this post. It is because I'm looking to buy a few in the home that matches my style and preference. It's good to know that there is a unique variety of furniture to be found if you opt to look for second hand items as most of them are out of the market that the people around you won't likely have. I have heard about model home furniture being sold and to me that's the safest place where I can buy classy and stylish pieces of furniture that I have always wanted. I'll look around and see where could I possibly visit one. 5/19/2018 05:19:06 am
