Second Hand Furniture Sydney: Where to Buy (2026)

Second hand furniture in Sydney is available at op shops (charity shops), Salvos and Vinnies furniture stores, markets, and online marketplaces. Op shops are a good first stop for low-cost tables, chairs, sofas, and cabinets. Not every op shop has space for furniture; larger branches and dedicated furniture stores are the best bet. This guide lists where to look and how to find op shop furniture in Sydney.

Tips for buying second hand furniture in Sydney

• Check condition: Look for stability, damage, and (for upholstery) stains or smells. Ask staff if you can test drawers and doors.
• Delivery: Some op shops offer delivery for a fee. Ask in store. Otherwise you will need to arrange your own transport.
• Clean before use: Second-hand furniture should be cleaned at home. See how to clean used furniture from charity shops.

If you have furniture to donate in Sydney, many op shops accept it when space allows. See how to donate to an op shop and what not to donate to op shops. Salvos and Vinnies offer free pickup for large items in many areas.
