Dimensions and pieces
Measure the actual item and state the number of chairs, shelves, leaves, cushions, or separate pieces included in the sale.

Create a Clear OfferUp Listing for Furniture
Furniture buyers need enough information to decide whether a piece fits their room, doorway, vehicle, and expectations. A focused OfferUp draft should make measurements, visible wear, included pieces, and moving requirements easy to scan.
No credit card required. Free plan included.
Before writing the draft
Confirm the useful furniture facts
- Furniture type, maker or brand when known, and number of pieces
- Measured height, width, depth, and other useful dimensions
- Known material, color, finish, and upholstery
- Scratches, stains, chips, tears, odors, wobble, or repairs
ListNestly is an independent seller tool. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by OfferUp, has no OfferUp posting integration, and does not automatically publish listings.
Details a local buyer can use
Important details for furniture listings
A clear draft should answer likely questions without claiming more than the seller has personally confirmed.
Material and finish
Describe solid wood, veneer, laminate, metal, glass, or upholstery only when known. Use plain color and finish descriptions instead of guessing a style or age.
Visible wear
Point out stains, scratches, chips, tears, fading, loose joints, repairs, and odors that a buyer should understand before pickup.
Moving plan
Explain what disassembles, whether hardware is present, how heavy or awkward the pieces are, and which access constraints matter.
Seller review checklist
- Furniture type, maker or brand when known, and number of pieces
- Measured height, width, depth, and other useful dimensions
- Known material, color, finish, and upholstery
- Scratches, stains, chips, tears, odors, wobble, or repairs
- Assembly state and parts that detach for moving
- Cushions, leaves, shelves, hardware, or matching pieces included
- Weight, stairs, doorway, loading, and vehicle considerations
Photo guidance
- Show the complete piece from several angles
- Include a tape measure in photos where dimensions are hard to visualize
- Photograph labels, hardware, drawer interiors, undersides, and backs when useful
- Show stains, scratches, chips, tears, repairs, and damaged corners close up
Condition language
Describe what you can confirm
Describe what is visible and what you personally observed. Avoid unsupported claims such as antique, designer, smoke-free, pet-free, or professionally restored unless you can confirm them.
Local pickup
Set practical pickup expectations
Explain whether legs, shelves, doors, or sections detach, whether stairs or narrow hallways are involved, and whether the buyer must bring tools, blankets, straps, a suitable vehicle, and loading help.
Common listing mistakes to avoid
- Publishing furniture without measured dimensions
- Calling veneer or laminate solid wood without evidence
- Photographing matching pieces that are not included
- Minimizing stains, odors, loose joints, or previous repairs
- Failing to discuss disassembly, stairs, or loading until pickup
Questions an OfferUp buyer may ask
- What are the exact dimensions?
- How many pieces are included?
- What material is it made from?
- Are there stains, odors, scratches, tears, or repairs?
- Does it disassemble, and is all hardware included?
- Are there stairs or doorway constraints at pickup?
