Coffee table - how much is it worth?

theoretica

How much something is worth depends on who is buying - and selling.  In this case I think £50 is likely to be what a private seller can easily get, but it might well be £200 in a shop.

With straight legs, perhaps £200, but that badly warped, £50 is my best and final.

Such wit!

I used to sell these. But can't quiet remember the details.
They came from Asia and it's something like acasia but not. I'll rack my brains. 
They were cheaper imports but attractive none the less. 
You can get sets or smaller ones but it will take some finding.

As above, imported from Asia or India in the last 20 years and made from a locally available wood. Guestimate £30-60.

OK, it's a Java teak coffee table.

And searching that you can look at prices. One I found as 'recycled' lol is going for £425! You could buy new at half that price.

It says 'reclaimed' - yeah, reclaimed from the forest. They couldn't produce so products over 30yrs for world export from reclaiming. But no reason you can't use the term if this is the publicity used at point of sale on many sites.

Thanks yeah I have found others now, just didnt know the name. 

Its a shame I really like the table, I just need it to be smaller I'm guessing that would be a ridiculous job to attempt, probably better to sell and buy a smaller one

Look for a makers label, if there isn't one then it's just a cheap table worth very little.

Good furniture has makers labels.
