Second Hand Furniture in Ahmedabad

Where the good pieces are

The west side is the busiest part of the market. Satellite, Bopal, South Bopal, Shela, Prahlad Nagar, Thaltej, Gota, Chandkheda and the SG Highway belt are full of apartment homes that change furniture regularly, so sofa sets, dining tables, beds and wardrobes appear there in good condition. The Science City and SG Highway corridor also produces desks, office chairs and bookshelves. East Ahmedabad — Maninagar, Vastral, Naroda, Nikol and Odhav — has more everyday household furniture at lower prices. In the walled city around Lal Darwaja, you are more likely to find older wooden pieces and curios than modern furniture.

What to inspect

• Material. Tap the panels — solid wood is dense, engineered board is hollow and should be priced accordingly.
• Sun damage. Ahmedabad's heat and light fade upholstery and can dry out and crack wood polish. Check the side that faced a window.
• Joints and hinges. Press the corners, swing every door and pull every drawer fully out.
• Upholstery. Sit on the sofa, check for sagging, and look under the cushions.
• Fit. Measure the room, the doorway and the lift first. Ask whether the piece dismantles.

Moving it

The buyer normally arranges transport — a tempo or chhakda is standard for furniture here. Settle who pays before agreeing the price, and check the society's shifting hours and gate-pass rules. If you need help with the move, there are local options listed under services in Ahmedabad.
