Buying Used Furniture in the UAE: Your Questions Answered

Thinking about second-hand furniture for your home in the UAE? Here are clear answers to the questions our customers ask us most often.

1. Is it worth buying used furniture in the UAE?

Yes, for most homes. Because many residents move every few years, good-quality beds, sofas and dining sets come onto the market often. Used furniture usually costs a fraction of the new price, and solid wood or well-made pieces can last for many more years.

2. Where can I buy used furniture in the UAE?

You can buy from online marketplaces, from individuals, or from a used furniture store. A store like Al Samar Furniture in Ajman checks, cleans and repairs each item first, gives a warranty and delivers it for you, which removes most of the risk of buying from a stranger.

3. Is used furniture clean and safe?

It depends on the seller. At Al Samar Furniture every piece is cleaned thoroughly and polished before sale, and any problem we find is fixed first. Most of our sofas are reupholstered with new fabric.

4. Can I check the furniture before I pay?

Yes. We deliver first, you check that the item matches the photos, and you pay only if you are happy. If you do not like it, we take it back.

5. Do you give a warranty on used furniture?

Yes. Every item we sell comes with a 15-day warranty.

6. How much does delivery cost?

Delivery and fixing are free everywhere in the UAE, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah.

7. How fast is delivery?

Usually the same day or the next day after you confirm your order.

8. Are prices fixed?

No. Prices on our website are negotiable. Message us on WhatsApp to agree the final price.

9. Do you sell used appliances too?

Yes. We sell used washing machines and fridges from brands such as Hisense, Hitachi, Toshiba and Super General.

10. Can you reupholster my own sofa?

Yes. Our upholstery team can give your sofa new fabric and a fresh look.
