1. Create a Listing

You’ll be prompted to enter details and photos of your item, including keyword tags and a description that helps tell its story.

2. Price Your Piece Effectively
- Use the The Pink Book Pricing Guide
In our Pink Book, you can search by key terms to browse items similar to yours that have sold recently on Chairish. For example, if you search “Blue velvet accent chairs,” you’ll see the most recently sold blue accent chairs at the price they were purchased. - Accept Offers
We recommend pricing your items so that you can entertain our Make An Offer feature. You’ll be notified via email if a shopper has made an offer on one of your items. You can then accept the offer, or submit a Counter offer. This exchange can continue up to 3 times. - Set up Trade Pricing
Utilize our network of trade designers by setting up trade pricing on your items. You can either apply a flat trade discount to all of your active listings, or enter a discount on each item individually. Trade prices will only be available to trade members. On average, Chairish sellers opt to offer Trade members an exclusive 20% off.
