Sell used furniture in Chicago
Turn big, beautiful pieces into fast cash with buyers and crews who can pick up across Chicago.
Asherfield is built for high-end, heavy, gently used furniture that is hard to ship. List once, reach real Chicago buyers, and see who buys furniture near you.

A better way to sell heavy, high-end furniture in Chicago
Shipping a sofa or solid wood table can cost more than the piece is worth. Selling local keeps more money in your pocket and helps your furniture stay in use, not in storage.
Built for big, heavy pieces
Sectionals, dining sets, dressers, and storage pieces that are too heavy to ship. Reach Chicago buyers and crews who can move them, not just scroll past.
Local buyers, not more apps
Instead of posting everywhere, you list once and let local buyers and “we buy furniture” crews find you through city and ZIP searches.
Less noise, better offers
Buyers see your profile, photos, and notes. They send clear questions and offers, not just “still available?” messages.

How to sell used furniture in Chicago (step by step)
Use this short plan to sell once and avoid endless back-and-forth messages.
1. Clean and stage each piece
Wipe surfaces, tighten screws, and clear the area around the item. Chicago buyers pay more when a room looks tidy and ready.
2. Take bright, honest photos
Shoot in daylight if you can. Show the full piece, then add close-ups of fabric, wood grain, and any wear. Honest photos build trust and speed up offers.
3. Set a fair price with room to move
Check similar pieces on Asherfield and other local listings. Price with a little margin so you can accept a fair offer without feeling like you gave it away.
4. Confirm pickup and payment
Once you agree on price, confirm who is carrying the item, when they are coming, and how they will pay. Meet in a safe, well-lit place when you can, and trust your gut.
See who buys used furniture near you
Not sure where to start? Instead of posting into the void, connect with people and crews who already buy used furniture every week in and around Chicago.
Use the used furniture buyers directory to filter by city and ZIP code. Each profile shows what they buy, how far they travel, and how they prefer to pay.
Where else can you sell or move furniture in Chicago?
Asherfield is built for high-end, heavy pieces that are hard to ship. You can also combine our directory with city bulk pickup, donations, and general online selling tips.

- The City can collect bulky items like furniture and mattresses with your regular garbage when you request it through 3-1-1 or your ward office.

Donate usable furniture
If your furniture is clean and in good shape, donation can help another family and keep items out of the landfill.
