Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, or OfferUp. Local pickup is essential as shipping costs would exceed the item's value.
Selling Tips
Clean the upholstery with a damp cloth and use a furniture touch-up marker on the wooden legs to hide scuffs. List as 'Mid-Century Modern style' or 'Urban Industrial.' Emphasize its use for small apartments.
