resource review: chairish
Emily Oster
Over the weekend, I discovered Chairish. Created by a husband and wife team who found it difficult to sell their high end furnishing, Chairish is a curated, online marketplace that allows people to easily sell their pre-owned quality home items to other design minded individuals. The team at Chairish sets the criteria that items be "stylish, in good shape and offered at a great value". Sellers set their own prices but are encouraged to mark things at 25-30% of the estimated retail. To sell items, you fill out a simple form, take high quality photos and submit your pieces to be listed. Chairish takes 20% of each sale and covers payment as well as assists in the shipping process. A nice added feature if you live in the San Francisco, New York or Los Angeles area is that you can search listings in your immediate vicinity and can arrange for local pick up. I am not an expert but the pricing seems reasonable and they have some really great stuff. Below are a few items that I can currently eyeing.
Brass Gazelle Bookends - $295
Vintage Oil Painting - $400
Vintage Brass Pendant Light - $975
Yellow Gourd Lamps - $200
