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.

A Chairish listing identifies a sale unit, not a standard retail SKU
Record detailWhat to retainWhy it matters
Listing identityThe 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 unitOne 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 contextSeller 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.

Measure each piece in a set before comparing furniture listings
Dimension groupHow Chairish defines itComparison rule
Overall dimensionsMandatory 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 setUse 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 measurementsOptional 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 dimensionsOptional 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.

Condition, restoration and maker attribution need separate evidence
Listing fieldChairish labels or guidanceEvidence to preserve
Condition rankingOriginal Condition Unaltered; Original Design Modified; Restored; Unknown.The seller’s selected label, description and photos; condition is subjective.
Description classificationNo Imperfections; Some Imperfections; Needs Restoration.The exact condition note and any disclosed repair, wear or restoration.
Brand, Designer or ArtistThe 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 provenanceStyled 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 claimsChairish’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.
