Most design trends have made the rounds before. The bright and squiggly Memphis Style currently saturating your Insta feed first piqued in the 1980s-90s. Terrazzo surfaces popped-off in the 1950s, and minimalism has been here long before Marie Kondo (no shade, we love you, MK!). That means your dream chair has probably been waiting for you for decades, and is just a click away on Craigslist, eBay, or Sotheby’s.
Maybe you’re craving some tie-dye décor. Or maybe you want to make like Dakota Johnson (ah, the AD home tour that launched a thousand Tweets *le swoon*) and scope retailers like 1stDibs for a Mid-Century coffee table. Or perhaps you’re craving a wildcard item from Goodwill (yep, they’re online). Whatever your needs, consider this your used furniture retailer cheat sheet.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
Rejuvenation
Rejuvenation is a self-declared purveyor of "classic American lighting and house parts," but they also have an "Antiques & Vintage" tab where you can scoop stunning furniture and decor, like this rubber-dipped Mid-Century chair. There are also pieces at a variety of price ranges, starting at $50 and under.Rejuvenation Mid-Century Chair, $, available at Rejuvenation
eBay
You knew it already, but eBay's where it's at for both white whale designer pieces, and totally random finds. Because the online flea market often operates on a bidding basis, you can walk away with real steals.Habermaaß GmbH 1980s Memphis Style Lamp, $, available at eBay
Urban Renewal
You may know Urban Outfitters for its fashion and accessories, but the perennially hip retailer also has a chic selection of bohemian furniture and decor, blending together both vintage and one-of-a-kind, up-cycled pieces. Like this unique "Kantha Chair," which goes to show: Urban's come a long way from the days of Napoleon Dynamite gag merch.
Urban Renewal One-Of-A-Kind Kantha Chair, $, available at Urban Renewal
Kaiyo
There's an incredibly plugged-in, hip energy to Kaiyo, which is a New York-based digital bazaar for used furniture. Shop by not only brand and conditions but dimensions, whic hCB2 Lubi Sleeper DaybedCB2 CB2 Lubi Sleeper Daybed, $, available at Kaiyo

Goodwill
The iconic nonprofit thrift shop operates on a bidding-basis online, and while it's much more bric-a-brac heavy you can still uncover some great statement furniture and decor.Vintage Framed Mirror, $, available at Goodwill
1stDibs
The e-marketplace that gave Sotheby's and Christie's a run for their marble-topped money. 1stDibs is kind of like the cool younger sibling to the legendary auction houses, boasting luxury items such as high-end furniture and fine art, but in a way that feels a little more cutting-edge (and price accessible)Lira Lira Terrazzo Coffee Tables, $, available at 1st Dibs
Etsy
Ah, Etsy. The e-marketplace feels like a giddy craft cupboard and vintage emporium rolled into one. Browse hand-made, repurposed, and upcycled furniture and decor, as well as vintage and used pieces like this Danish-style coffee table.Danish Style Mid-Century Coffee Table, $, available at Etsy
Apartment Therapy Bazaar
We love Apartment Therapy's "small space" home tour vids, so it's no surprise that the lifestyle blog also curates a well-rounded marketplace for used and vintage pieces (mostly from the 20th century) with categories like Scandinavian, Rustic, Industrial, and more.Innovation Living Innovation Living Sofa Bed, $, available at Apartment Therapy Bazaar
Christie's
The British auction house is home to some legendary art, antiques, and estate sales. If you're looking for furniture that doubles as an investment, you'll find it here (in perfectly pastel, marble-topped Louis XVI style commode!).Maison Jansen Louis XVI Style Commode, $, available at Christie's
Craigslist
The great equalizer of online marketplaces hasn't really changed much since its 1990s debut. The OG offers vintage, designer, and wild card decor that will vary based on geographic location, of course. Our Coup de Coeur for New Yorkers ATM is this thrice hand-me-down Lane Furniture table, which the seller found on 1stDibs before putting it on Craigslist – meaning it's at a seriously reduced price.Lane Furniture Lane Furniture Coffee Table, $, available at Craigslist

Revival Rugs
When it comes to rugs, "revival" reigns supreme. This is where you can feel like an insider in the rug market, browsing a curated selection of vintage and used rugs from around the world.Angonita Vintage Oriental Rug, $, available at Revival
Sotheby's Home
Last but not least, Sotheby's. Turns out, one of the most prestigious auction house's out there has some relatively accessible home decor and furniture sets, like this dreamy Hollywood Regency dressing set-up that, quite frankly, is going for far less than many brand spanking new vanities we've seen.Faux Bamboo Dressing Set, $, available at Sotheby's Home
