Example coffee table listing

Oak Lift-Top Coffee Table with Storage

Oak-finish lift-top coffee table, 42 by 22 inches. Lift mechanism works and storage compartment is clean. Small edge chip is pictured. Top does not detach; buyer brings blankets.

Replace every detail with facts you verified. Never reuse a model, measurement, test result, or condition claim that does not apply to your item.

Plan a safe, clear handoff

For glass tables, explain whether the top removes and recommend padding and upright secure transport.

Meet in an appropriate location, keep payment terms clear, and do not make unsupported safety or working-condition claims.

Coffee Table selling questions

How much should I ask for coffee table?

Start with comparable local listings for the same or closest model, then adjust for material, maker, features, and size, glass and surface condition, structural stability and ease of pickup. ListNestly's Price Advisor can help organize those confirmed factors without claiming a live market average.

What photos should I take of coffee table?

Include full table from multiple angles, top, edges, legs, underside, drawers, and shelves, lift or caster mechanism where present. Add clear close-ups of every defect rather than relying on a vague condition label.

What problems should I disclose?

Disclose anything known or observed, especially chipped or unsecured glass and wobble or loose joints. Say exactly what you checked and identify anything you did not test.

What information belongs in the listing?

Include dimensions and materials, storage or lift features, glass and frame condition, plus honest pickup or delivery expectations.

Should I offer delivery?

Offer delivery only if you can do it safely and describe the fee, distance, unloading help, and timing clearly. For glass tables, explain whether the top removes and recommend padding and upright secure transport.
