Restaurant Furniture Blog

Is your restaurant furniture starting to look a little tired - or are your starting to get a little tired of your restaurant furniture. It can be an expensive job replacing all that furniture yet the furniture itself could be a valuable resource.

There has been a trend in recent years for homes to make use of restaurant style furniture. There are many homemaker type stores that sell furniture that has been made along restaurant design lines. However, the quality is never quite as good a commercially made restaurant furniture.

If you have looked after your furniture and it isn’t too badly worn then there is a market already there that is willing to part with good cash to buy your furniture. You can certainly offset part of the cost of acquiring new furniture by selling your old. It certainly beats burning it, taking it to the dump or giving it away.

You would be surprised at what sort of prices you can get for used restaurant furniture. In fact, if your restaurant is popular and well known, you may even gain a premium to the normal sales prices. I have seen used restaurant furniture sold direct from the restaurant at 30-50% of new prices even thought he furniture is 2-3 years old - in good condition of course.

Used furniture businesses love to seek out restaurants, bars and hotels for any of their cast off furniture - often buying for pennies in the dollar and on selling for huge profits. Cut out the middle man and you can reap those returns. If you are going to upgrade your restaurant furniture, just remember that old furniture does have a resale value that can be used to offset the cost of your new furniture.
