How to Find Used Hotel Furniture

Used hotel furniture is a great bargain and easy for the general public to find for purchase. As hotels renovate rooms, furniture of all types is replaced, sometimes every few years. Hotel furniture is often in better condition than family-owned pieces.

Things You'll Need

• Telephone
• Computer with Internet access

Instructions

1. Contact hotels in your area, and ask how they discard their used furniture when renovating. Many hotels sell their used items to salvage stores or hold sales for employees.

2. Search for used hotel funiture online or in the Yellow Pages. Outlet stores often specialize in the sale of used hotel goods. These stores may even have new furniture that is manufacturer surplus.

3. Pay attention to any local hotel renovations or closures. This could be an opportunity to browse furniture before it is sent for sale or to make a direct purchase from the hotel.

4. Search online for auctions featuring used hotel furniture. Although furniture liquidator auctions sometimes deal only in bulk purchases, it may be worth making contact for future needs.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't limit yourself to furniture purchases only. Hotels replace many other usable items, including coffee makers, alarm clocks, televisions and dishware.

• In addition to used furniture, there may be opportunities to purchase new hotel furniture at a leveraged cost. Become friends with a local hotel manager, and he or she may allow you to tack additional items on their orders.

• Be sure to inspect furniture for scratches, dents or other damage before completing the sale.
