The One Piece of Furniture a Home Stager Will Never Thrift—And Why It Matters

When it comes to staging a home, thrifted finds can add character and charm— but there’s one staple stagers won’t gamble on.

According to home stager Molly Marino of Home by Molly Marino, dining tables are a no-go when sourcing secondhand. With their large size and central placement in a room, dining tables demand a flawless surface—something that’s hard to guarantee when thrifting. Scratches, dents, and years of wear can make refinishing more trouble than it’s worth.

Instead, stagers like Molly opt for thrifted artwork, lamps, and vintage decor to bring personality into a space without compromising on quality.
