Give pre-owned UNSW furniture another life at home, with items available for students and staff from just $5.

Are you looking for a desk for your home office, an extra chair or some useful storage? The UNSW Furniture Reuse sale is giving students and staff the opportunity to take home pre-owned University furniture at affordable prices while helping keep useful items in circulation for longer.

Held at the Mathews Pavilions from 9am to 2pm on Saturday 24 October, the sale builds on the UNSW Furniture Reuse Program and the University’s broader commitment to reduce waste and make better use of existing resources.

A range of pre-owned furniture will be available to browse on the day, including chairs, desks and workstations, tables, bookshelves, storage and other selected items.

There are no catalogues and no reserving your favourites – come along, have a look and see what you can find. 

Taking furniture home or furnishing a UNSW space?

Furniture purchased at the sale is for personal use only. If you need furniture for University purposes, browse the UNSW Furniture Reuse store instead.
