Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or local flea markets are best due to shipping costs versus total value. It could also perform well in a local vintage booth after a minor restoration
Selling Tips
Use high-quality furniture wax to hide light scratches on the top. List with keywords like 'Grandmillennial', 'Boho Accent', 'Hand Painted', and 'Entryway Table'. Focus photos on the unique oval shape and the floral detail. If it doesn't sell in two weeks, consider painting it a solid trendy color like sage green to appeal to a wider audience
