Last updated: 2026-07-26
Condition before brand
Brand and model are only starting points. Real value depends on frame alignment, bed integrity, dimensions, cushions, cloth, missing parts and service access.
Calculate total ownership cost
Add dismantling, transport, stairs, cloth, cushions, pockets, wood repair, installation and levelling to the purchase price.
Tables from different manufacturers
Used tables from different manufacturers can be assessed with the same technical checklist. Brand references are used only for service and inspection context and do not imply affiliation.
Trade-in dossier
For trade-in, provide type, dimensions, city, floor, age, model, missing parts and clear photos from four sides. Final value follows technical inspection.
Manufacturer note
Every room, table and service requirement is different. Final dimensions, materials, prices and application decisions should be based on verified technical information or a site survey.
