Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, or local flea market. Furniture of this size is difficult to ship, making local pickup the only viable option.
Selling Tips
This is a prime candidate for a 'Sand and Paint' project. Use keywords like 'Boho,' 'Farmhouse,' or 'Upcycle.' Sand the top to reveal the natural grain and paint the frame in a trendy matte black or sage green to hide the finish damage. Do not ship; sell locally to avoid high costs.
