How much should I charge for a dining table and 6 chairs in good condition?

In the 2026 moving sales we looked at, unbranded solid wood dining sets asked between $150 and $400. A common rule of thumb for a set from a known maker in solid wood is a third to a half of what it cost new. A veneer or flat-pack set usually sells for a small fraction of retail, because buyers can get the same thing new for not much more.

Does a dining table sell for less without chairs?

Usually, yes. Most buyers want somewhere to sit the day they bring it home, so a complete set is easier to sell than a table alone. If the chairs are damaged or don't match, sell the table and chairs together and mention it, rather than selling the table bare.

Is solid wood worth more than veneer when you resell?

Yes. Solid wood holds its value better than veneer or particleboard, because it survives moves and can be refinished. A scratched solid wood top is a weekend of sanding. A scratched veneer top is usually the end of the table.

Should I take the AI's suggested price or go lower?

If you need it gone by a date, price at the low end of the suggested range. In one moving sale, an oval pedestal table with rattan chairs was suggested at $180 to $375, listed at $150, and sold within the week.

How do I price a dining set fast?

Take one clear photo of the whole set and one of the tabletop, then let a pricing tool give you a range. On ClearList, the AI reads the material, style and condition from the photo and returns a suggested price with a low-to-high range in about 30 seconds.

How Much to Sell a Dining Table and Chairs For (2026)

TL;DR: In real 2026 moving sales, unbranded solid wood dining sets asked $150 to $400. Known makers in solid wood can ask more. Veneer and flat-pack sets sell for a small fraction of retail. Buyers usually want chairs with the table, and the one set priced below its suggested range sold within the week.

The question that brought you here is the one I see most from people with a dining set and a moving date: what should I charge for a table and six chairs in good condition?

The honest answer is less than you paid, and probably less than you hope. A dining set is big, heavy and awkward to move, and the buyer is the one renting the van. That's most of the discount right there.

Here's how to land on the right number.

The four things that set the price

Material. Solid wood holds value. Veneer and particleboard don't. One used-furniture valuation guide puts most mass-produced furniture at 15 to 30% of retail, and says solid wood holds its value better than veneer or particleboard (source).
Maker. A name buyers recognize, like a well-known furniture maker or a premium retailer, lets you ask a larger share of the original price. Put the name in the first words of your title. People search for brands.
The chairs. How many, whether they match, and what shape they're in. Wobbly joints and stained seats come straight off the price.
Size and leaves. A table that seats six and extends to eight with its leaf is worth more than one that seats four. Mention the leaf, and include it in the photos.

What dining sets actually listed for

These are real dining listings from ClearList moving sales in 2026. Asking price is what the seller chose. The suggested range is what ClearList's AI proposed from the photos.

Listing	Condition	Suggested range	Asking price	Sold?
Round wooden dining table with 4 chairs	Good	$250 to $450	$400	Still listed
Solid wood counter-height dining table	Good	$100 to $250	$300	Still listed
Solid reclaimed wood farm table	Fair	$200 to $400	$300	Yes
Solid wood drop-leaf table with 4 chairs, walnut finish	Good	$150 to $220	$180	Still listed
Set of carved rose-back dining chairs	Fair	$120 to $250	$180	No
Oval pedestal table with woven rattan chairs	Good	$180 to $375	$150	Yes, within the week
Pair of tufted upholstered dining armchairs	Fair	$40 to $75	$100	Yes

"Still listed" means the seller's page was still open, and "No" means it closed without a sale. Seven listings is a small sample, so read it as examples, not a price index. The table listed below its suggested range sold within the week, and the counter-height table listed above its range was still waiting. But the pair of upholstered armchairs sold at $100, above its range too. A range is a starting point. Your local buyers decide the rest.

A quick way to price yours

Find what it cost new, roughly. A receipt, an old order email, or the same model on the maker's site.
Decide which group it's in. Solid wood from a known maker, solid wood unbranded, or veneer and flat-pack.
Take a share of the original price. A common rule of thumb is a third to a half for known solid wood in good shape, less for unbranded, and a small fraction for veneer.
Check the chairs and come down for damage, missing chairs or mismatched sets.
Pick your spot in the range. Low end if you have a moving date. High end only if you can wait.

Or skip the arithmetic: photograph the set and ClearList suggests a price with a low-to-high range and the reasoning behind it. You can take the number or change it.

Getting it sold

Photograph the whole set from a low angle in daylight, then the tabletop close up, then one chair.
Give the measurements. Length, width, height, and length with the leaf. Buyers need to know if it fits their room and their car.
Say whether it needs a truck. Most dining tables do. Saying so up front saves you from the buyer who shows up with a hatchback.
Sell the set together unless a chair is broken beyond fixing.

If you're selling a whole house, list the dining set early. Big pieces take the longest to find their buyer, and you don't want the table to be the last thing standing when the moving truck arrives.
