What holds value
Recognizable designs from established makers, such as Herman Miller, Steelcase, Vitra, and USM, resell well because buyers know what they're getting and can check for authenticity. Mass-market furniture usually sells for much less than it cost.
What buyers check
Condition (upholstery wear, stains, wobble), completeness, and proof it's genuine: labels, serial tags, or a receipt. For office chairs, buyers check which adjustments work and the size. Pickup matters too: local buyers will pay more if they can see it first.
