Set of four vintage oak spindle-back dining chairs
Solid wood spindle-back chairs that sell as a matched set rather than one at a time. Buyers want tight joints and sound seats, so wobbling legs or a wobbly chair back will pull the whole set down to a giveaway.
Estimated resale range (used)
$50 – $120
A ballpark, not a quote. Condition moves this number a lot, and so does who turns up to buy it. It isn't an appraisal and it isn't a dealer's offer.

What matters when you check it
- Push each chair from the side to check for loose joints, wobble or a cracked spindle
- Sit on each seat and note sagging, split wood or old repairs at the leg sockets
- Photograph all four together and mention the finish colour, any ring stains and whether the seats are wood or upholstered
Where the number comes from
Watching what these go for, not a record of sales. The range is a judgement call from what the same thing fetches secondhand. When an item has real sources behind it, they'll be printed here with the date they were checked.
Before you sell anything, look at sold prices rather than asking prices. Asking prices are wishes; sold prices are evidence.
