AptDeco

Online marketplace for pre-owned furniture

Overview

AptDeco is an online marketplace for buying and selling pre-owned furniture. Buyers browse a curated catalog from brands like IKEA, West Elm, and Pottery Barn, using filters to find pieces within their budget and style, and purchase directly through the platform; sellers list items and AptDeco collects a commission and may offer premium listings. The platform also handles logistics and customer support to facilitate transactions. Unlike simple classifieds, AptDeco combines a curated catalog with built-in logistics and secure buying to make the second-hand market easier and more reliable. Its goal is to promote sustainability by making it simple to buy and sell high-quality pre-loved furniture, reducing waste and extending the life of pieces while providing a trusted marketplace for buyers and sellers.
