  • Large/heavy ceiling lights, including chandeliers
  • Wall mounted storage
  • Kitchenware
  • Small decor items

What brands and/or designers do you look for?

You can find a list of the types of designers and brands we typically look for here. If your item isn’t on here please still send it to our team, as we are constantly expanding our list.

How do you authenticate?

Our quality control team is made up of furniture experts who check each item’s provenance, attribution, construction and condition. Using both historical references and attribution marks on each piece to confirm authenticity, our team will work with auction houses and manufacturers to corroborate the seller provided information.

Does it matter if my item is slightly damaged?

Although we avoid selling things that are not in good condition, we often take items with slight marks and regular wear and tear and repair them for free. If your item requires major repairs, restoration or needs to be upholstered we would still consider selling it so do send us photos of the damage and outline what the condition is.

My item needs restoration or upholstery in order for it to be in a sellable condition, is this something you can organise for me?

Yes. In most cases we would carry out the restorations and / or upholstery and communicate the cost to you in writing; these costs will need to be paid for in advance of the item being collected. There are some instances where we prefer to ask you to repair or upholster something before sending it to us.

Pricing

How do you price items?

Pricing is largely dependent on the style, brand, condition and market demand for the item. The more information you can supply us with, the better- so if you have original pricing information or receipts, please share this with us when submitting your item’s details. We have a great deal of  experience in pricing pre-owned furniture and will price items fairly for both our consignors and customers. Ultimately, pricing is at our discretion.

What if I don't agree with your valuation?

Depending on the price you are looking to achieve, we will consider listing items above our estimate for a set period of time. Just talk to our team about your requirements.

How much will I earn if you sell one of my pieces?

You will receive an earning of 65% of the net sale proceeds from the sale of your item or -if you prefer to use this towards something in our online store- you can keep 100% - which we will give you as a voucher for the full amount. You can decide once we sell your item which payment method you prefer.

All the other details regarding the mechanics of our consignment policy can be found in our Terms and Conditions

How long does it usually take for an item to sell?

Most items will sell within the first 90 days. Typical reasons for a slower selling period include:

  • Market demand
  • The condition of the item
  • The price of the item
  • The brand
How long will you keep my item?

Our standard selling period starts on the day your item is published on our platform and lasts for 180 days, If after 90 days your item hasn’t sold, we reserve the right to reduce it by up to 30% or return it to you. If your item hasn’t sold after 180 days, we will either reduce it up to 50%, or return the item to you depending on your preference.

When will I get paid if my item sells?

Once your item has sold and been delivered to the buyer, they have a 30 day returns period. You will receive your payment at the end of the month following this period.

Example: Your item sells and is delivered to the buyer on 20th September. Your payment will be sent to you at the end of October as this is the end of the calendar month following the 30 day returns period.

What happens if my item hasn’t sold in 90 days?

If after 90 days your item hasn’t sold, we reserve the right to reduce it by up to 30%.

If your item hasn’t sold after 180 days, we we will review the listing and decide whether to keep it on our platform with up to a 50% reduction to the selling price or we will return it to you if this is what you'd prefer. We won’t charge you for anything other than the cost for us to return the piece to you.

Everything Else

Do I need to package my furniture for collection?

Although our dedicated couriers will bring the required packing materials to ensure your items arrive safely at their destination, anything you can do to help ensure your items stay in perfect condition would be appreciated. We especially recommend bubble wrapping corners and edges, and protecting fragile surfaces.

Where will my item go and will you store it for me?

All items will be taken to the Rehaus warehouse where they will be stored, safely, until they are sold.

Are my items insured?

Yes. From the moment your items leave your house they are insured, until they arrive with the person who has bought them.

How long will it take you to list my item on your website?

This process can take up to 30 days, depending on when we collect the item from you, and how much restoration or cleaning it requires.

If I change my mind, can I have my item back?

As long as your item hasn’t sold yet then yes, you can have your item back. But if you want your unsold item back after the end of the 14-day cooling off period but before the 180-day consignment period is over, there will be an administrative fee of 25% plus VAT of what our estimated profit would have been on the item (based on a sale being made at the selling price on the date of cancellation as listed onwww.rehaus.co.uk). You will need to pay this prior to organising its collection. Please speak to our team who might be able to help you coordinate delivery. See our terms for more details on cancellation, in particular how the profit is calculated.
