Old & Second Hand Furniture in Ghaziabad

Where used furniture comes from

Indirapuram, Vaishali, Vasundhara and Kaushambi sit on the Delhi border and along the Blue Line Metro, so many residents commute to Delhi or Noida and sell up when their job moves — a good time to pick up a whole set from one flat. Raj Nagar Extension and Crossings Republik are newer high-rise societies, and furniture there is often only a year or two old. Govindpuram and the colonies along Meerut Road carry family furniture from independent homes, including heavier solid-wood beds, almirahs and dining tables. Since Ghaziabad borders East Delhi, it is worth checking Delhi furniture and Noida furniture as well — a seller in Mayur Vihar can be nearer than one across Ghaziabad.

What to check before you pay

• Solid wood or board. Tap the panels. Solid sheesham from older homes is worth more than new laminated board.
• Borer and joints. Small holes with fine powder mean borer; press every corner for wobble.
• Sofas. Sit on each seat and check under the cushions. Browse used sofas or sofas in Delhi.
• Beds and wardrobes. Check storage, hinges and slats. See beds and wardrobes.
• Fit. Measure your doorway, staircase and lift before you commit.

Timing, negotiating and collection

Month-end is when most rentals turn over and the most furniture appears. Sellers moving on a fixed date are usually open to a lower offer, and a combined price for several pieces is easy to ask for. In Indirapuram and Raj Nagar Extension societies, the seller normally needs a gate pass from the maintenance office and may be limited to set shifting hours, so confirm it before you send a tempo. Agree who pays for transport before you fix the price.
