Chairish listing data: dimensions, condition and attribution
A Chairish field guide to one-off furniture and art: set dimensions, seller-described condition, attribution, provenance and offer context. Review access terms.
A Chairish listing identifies a sale unit, not a standard retail SKU
Chairish describes itself as a curated marketplace for furnishings and art. A listing may represent one object, a pair, or a set, so the listing record is the useful unit for research. Retain its product URL and ID alongside the seller’s description and the observation date; similar titles do not establish that two listings represent the same physical piece.

| Record detail | What to retain | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Listing identity | The exact product URL and ID in its path, title and category. | The listing identifies the current marketplace offer for a specific described sale unit. |
| Sale unit | One item, pair or set; stated piece count and unit type when shown. | A set price applies to the listed group, not automatically to each object in it. |
| Seller context | Seller name or profile reference and location only when displayed. | Descriptions and item claims come from the seller; do not merge different sellers’ records. |
Measure each piece in a set before comparing furniture listings
Chairish requires width, depth or length, and height in inches for the item as assembled and positioned in use. For a set containing different-size pieces, the main dimension fields describe the largest piece; put the other pieces’ measurements and the total count in the description. Category-specific measurements, such as seat height or seat interior width, answer different fit questions from a chair’s overall dimensions.

| Dimension group | How Chairish defines it | Comparison rule |
|---|---|---|
| Overall dimensions | Mandatory width, depth/length and height in inches; measure the fully assembled item in its in-use orientation. | Keep the source unit and distinguish depth from length based on the item’s orientation. |
| Different-size set | Use the largest piece for the main fields; describe each additional size and the total number of pieces. | Chairish bases shipping calculations on the largest item plus the piece count; do not treat one size as every piece’s measurement. |
| Category measurements | Optional or category-driven fields can include seat height, arm height and seat interior dimensions. | Compare like measurements; seat interior width is not overall chair width. |
| Shipping dimensions | Optional condensed dimensions for an item that folds, compresses or can be disassembled. | Keep packed dimensions separate from the assembled item’s dimensions; the standard fields are used for shipping calculations when these are absent. |
Condition, restoration and maker attribution need separate evidence
Chairish’s condition ranking and description classifications are seller-provided context, not an independent inspection. Keep the selected labels beside the seller’s written condition notes and listing photos. Treat maker attribution and provenance the same way: preserve the source wording and evidence instead of turning a seller claim into a verified fact. Chairish’s separate Authenticity Guarantee is a post-purchase claim process: its current help page requires contact within one year of delivery and written opinions from two independent recognized experts, with limited discretionary exceptions.

| Listing field | Chairish labels or guidance | Evidence to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Condition ranking | Original Condition Unaltered; Original Design Modified; Restored; Unknown. | The seller’s selected label, description and photos; condition is subjective. |
| Description classification | No Imperfections; Some Imperfections; Needs Restoration. | The exact condition note and any disclosed repair, wear or restoration. |
| Brand, Designer or Artist | The listing form separates these fields; Chairish asks for firsthand support for a Brand attribution. | Seller-provided field, maker’s marks and supporting documents where shown. |
| Styled After and provenance | Styled After is for inspiration by a designer/artist or an attribution without definitive proof; provenance details belong in the seller description. | Keep the original wording and label it as seller-provided, not independently verified. |
| Authenticity claims | Chairish’s Curatorial Guidelines say it does not authenticate items; sellers are responsible for supporting attribution, authenticity and provenance. | The separate post-purchase guarantee requires a claim within one year of delivery and written opinions from two independent recognized experts; the item must be returned in the same condition. |
An asking price is a dated offer, not a completed sale
A public Chairish listing may show an asking amount, a purchase or offer action, seller context and a shipping estimate. These describe the visible offer at one point in time. Keep the exact product URL and observation timestamp with the price; a displayed asking amount is not a completed sale or necessarily the buyer’s final cost.
Scroll to compare →
| Snapshot field | Record when visible | Do not infer |
|---|---|---|
| Asking amount | Displayed amount, currency, price label and the listed unit (single item, pair or set). | A completed transaction price or final cost when other charges may be separate. |
| Offer state | Whether the page shows purchase, Make an Offer, or another visible action. | That an offer was accepted or a sale completed. |
| Shipping context | Displayed estimate, destination or seller location and estimate date, if present. | A guaranteed arrival date or a shipping amount for another destination. |
| Time and source | Exact listing URL and time observed; keep later observations as separate rows. | A historic asking price is Chairish price history or a durable inventory signal. |

| Question | Chairish-specific answer | What to keep in view |
|---|---|---|
| Is a seller SKU visible to buyers? | No. The optional SKU field is for a seller’s own inventory tracking and is not buyer-visible. | Use the listing URL/ID as the public reference. |
| Does a condition label prove the item’s condition? | No. Chairish says condition is seller-provided and subjective; the seller description and photos add context. | Do not present labels as a third-party inspection. |
| How should a different-size set be measured? | Use the largest piece in the main dimension fields and describe the count and other pieces’ measurements. | Keep optional condensed shipping dimensions separate. |
| What do the posted Terms say about scraping? | Section 13 prohibits manual or automated crawling, scraping and spidering and significant-content copying or storage. | The Terms also restrict access to the provided interface; check the current wording for the full rule. |
