- I've been very successful flipping chairs for profit. In this video I will talk about how much money I've made reselling chairs in the past two months. I also give you a full walkthrough of how I find the chairs, prep the chairs, and list the chairs on Facebook Marketplace and Offer Up. This is a very thorough tutorial on how to flip furniture.

You should also consider cleaning the chairs due to those who have allergies to cats because without the cleaning an allergy attack can happen as soon as the furniture is in their home. Plus the chairs will look even better. Happy Flipping.
Just watched your vid for the first time, along with 'Furniture Flipping Teacher', and thought you both were very impressive,
but i have to say. I really liked the way FFT CLEANED-UP her chairs in just a very few more minutes, along with her SET-UP,
it made the chairs look much more appealing. - TYSM for sharing YOUR talents.
Mid century modern is approximately 1947-1970. These chairs are 1980's. The skirts are to prevent dust from accumulating under the chairs. The dingy dirty discoloration could be helped with cleaning them.
I so appreciate your pro tip on blocking. No need to invite problems! Great video, just subscribed!
Here's a full furniture flipping playlist! ua-cam.com/video/IQ2PMQKpi7s/v-deo.html
I just subscribed. I love flipping furniture. I’ve been doing it for about 2 years and I recently decided to create my own UA-cam and teach people how to flip for profit. I’m still learning how to edit lol but I’m just showing some support for another furniture flipper. I have yet to find a chair like this but I’ve been looking. You did a great job.
I know right. I can find some chairs, but they are always just standing on one leg lol
You could always make some Thin trim out of the fabric you remove and glue it back onto the chair where it is discolored Amazing how much better they all look without the skirts
i had thought the very same thing - creating your OWN TRIM from a verity of materials could make for a very different and interesting chair!.
Very much agreed ! The furniture flipping teacher added a macrame trim to the bottom of one of her chairs she sold and it was gorgeous and so unique ! Check her out !
I actually live in the Denver area & saw your listing of those mid Century mod blue chairs when I was browsing FB the other day!! I got excited since I watch your UA-cam channel (: I started flipping about a month ago & you were a big inspiration as far as trying to sell all types of furniture pieces, which I’ve found great success in. I started with chairs and now will sell anything that’s not too big/heavy to carry up to my second story townhome. I’m always on the look out for a new video from you💓
Oh that’s awesome! I’m glad you’re doing well. That makes me so happy! Just stay out of my Goodwill, okay?! Haha! I’m just joking. Plenty of pieces to go around. Good luck!
Hahah you got it! I actually live more west by the foothills so I stick to my local thrift stores (:
I'm here too, but in another neck of our, actual, woods. Good luck to us all! We're all in this together, allies, not competition!
soo obsessed with all your flips 🤩
thank you for sharing .love this vid so informative.
You might benefit from a solid pair of high quality vice grips. If it saves you 20 minutes per chair then you've already won.
You might be right! That chair was really tough. It’s usually a little easier.
They also sell staple removers. Makes it a breeze or use the back end of a hammer. Comes off cleaner. You can buy fabric glue for the tear.
Thank you for such a concise and informative video. You got right to the point!
I'm glad this popped up on my phone!!I do Home Health and always get Dibs on chair family doesn't want.Going to try to resale !!🤞
You are inspiring!! Thanks for the content!!!!
Thanks!
I'm impressed with the amount of light blue chairs alone that you've found and done! I've only refinished furniture for myself, never flipped for profit and never tried anything fabric covered but you make it look like it's worth a shot 🤗
So many blue chairs! Haha!
At home improvement stores you can get paintable covers for long cords. I buy them, mount them, paint them the same colour as the wall and boom..no more visible lamp, tv cords.
Very good job 🌹
Great video thanks for the info I do trash picking and see this kind of chairs on the streets im going to start picking them up thanks again new subscriber here and sout outs from sin city Las vegas
Awesome! Thanks and good luck!
wow loved the video i normally dont comment will be watching more
Great video. I like your spirit
Thank you!
Awesome keep it up.
Thanks a lot!
Hey! Try clicking the settings wheel on the video and change the playback speed to 1.25! I talk a little slower about halfway through the video. :)
Being in your area, I think I've seen some of the stuff for sale. The bg looks familiar too. Glad to know you're having success!
great video, thanks for sharing! does anyone help you usually to bring those chairs in and out? wonder how heavy they are. of course that requires a car as well...
Awesome video
Thank you!
Take some of the cloth you took off and iron it in half,,,glue all around the chair because the fabric is faded ,,it will cover the damage
Add a textile medium to acrylic paint and paint them..it will not come off..painting them is fun. And use a stencil on that chanting silk chairs
Great video! Fellow Coloradan here 😊 What do you do if people ask a lot of questions about the history of the furniture and the brand or store it’s from? I want to start flipping but remember how many detailed questions I received from people when I sold my own dresser and nightstand on FB Marketplace. Just wondering if you have any tips on researching pieces that you bought from thrift stores or do you just honestly tell potential customers that you bought it from a thrift store?
I think the pair of green chairs could have been a good reupholstery job for someone who’s clever lol, great vlog ❤️🇬🇧
I love flipping many things!! The thing with me and chairs/sofas is not only the skirts etc but many times the fabric/colors. I realize that would be very costly to change but that's usually what keeps me from buying chairs. An emerald green is really trending but hard to find..
When you get a pair of.chairs list it as 1 chair if you get calls just say its available till you sell both
The peacock chairs if you split them up you couldve sold for 250 each easily.
Those velvet chairs go for 195 each all over the place. Try pricing higher than your high price then go down if you have to. Great video.ike your spirit. Ive been wanting to do this for years wish I had a truck. I have the room and the hands. Lol
The green chairs, maybe try tulip fabric dye and see if you can dye them black? New espresso stained chair legs
Consider buying some fabric trim and tacking it on with upholstery tacks or hot glue for fabric. Mid century modern are structured pieces and generally have tapered legs, sometimes angled (the legs are under $4 each if you order from home depot. You can also get angled cleats so the legs angle.)
Have you ever looked at taking the wings off the chair? Or changing the legs? And, do you find take them off the swivel and just put on mid-century style
legs?
Do you ever staple the skirt underneath? I saw it on another flippers channel.
Great video! Thanks for sharing. How do you how much to sell them for and also is there a sight you go to to find out the names of they style of furniture? Thank you
Thanks! I choose my price based off of other similar listings in my market. I typically list a little higher than what I actually want to get for it so people can negotiate. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is a website like that.
Wow... never occurred to me to remove the skirt! Great tips!
Thanks!
I want that green chair please
I know right?! It’s so cool! I probably would have kept it if I didn’t already have a couch the same color.
Can tell there was a trim do you fix that?
Also, vacuum and clean fabric.
You can get some needlenose vise grip pliers for around $15 at Home Depot that make this way easier since it grips the staples and lets you use your strength pulling instead of squeezing. There's an Irwin brand pair on Amazon for under $10.
I did purchase some vice grips for my next project.
@@StephOnThePedal Needle nose pliers are easier and work much better than vice grips for rolling those staples out.
I just got to know you , what you do , is the easiest way to flip chairs. Just as a comment, clean them up more affectively for people who have allergies & in addition cover up the spot of the skirts with some Notions & accessories them. They look nicer & you would get better money. I wish you success. I just subscribe your channel. I’m handy myself & creative ! 😍👍
Yeah!🎉
🥳🥳🥳
Fun fact, the arm covers are called antimacassars. Sometimes they also have one on the back where your head hits the edge. And they are intended to keep your chairs clean! Which obviously worked well.
Nice! Thanks for the info! I’ve never heard that before.
Yes those that still have them are usually in amazingly great shape because they were protected by the not so beautiful covers.
Do you get ppl asking for your number to send a code to supposedly see if the listing is real? Please someone advise me with this?
I passed your Channel to my Nephew..He started to Flip Dressers and wants to do other furniture.. Good Content Steph! !
Oh that’s awesome! I’m happy to hear it.
You have amazing prices at your goodwill! How often do you go shopping?
The lowest price items are probably from Arc’s 50% off sale. I drive a decent distance a couple of times a week and I pass multiple thrift stores on the way. So I will stop at a few thrift stores throughout the week. However, I’m not consistently doing that every week.
The chairs really needed to be cleaned
Please look at Furniture fliping teatcher you tube cannal, Lauren is also fliping armchairs, she rips the skirt Off. It only take a minuit😀
My problem is I don't have a truck and no one delivers. Wanted a headboard for 10 bucks and couldn't buy it because the store didn't deliver due to insurance reasons he said.
So can you talk about transport. Also how do you find correct description for an item. I need furniture for dummies.
in europe they are called fauteuil, i do not know if that word also is used in america
@Maroxa 7 They are club chairs. Chesterfields have the tufting, but a different shape.
Your audio is always to the right.
Yah I know. I switched editing software and something silly is happening. I’m trying to figure that out.
You really should invest in a staple remover from tools4flooring only like 7.00. Much easier to use and no tears.
My fear is bedbugs or roaches how do yu prevent or check them out
I’ll admit it’s a gamble. 😬
Aurora friend XD
You could have folded the skirts under and stapled them.
I understand the reasoning behind ripping off the skirts, I saw another channel doing the same thing, but I don’t understand who’s buying these. Just like the other channel when the skirt came off I thought wait.. you’re just going to leave it like that? It looks like ass leaving discoloured hole-ridden fabric at the bottom of a chair in my opinion. 🤷♀️ I guess the lesson here is that people will buy anything.
I'm pretty sure these blue arm chairs are from the 1980's
You’re probably right! Haha.
Ok first stop using that screw driver and stabbing and making holes in a chair that someone until you got ahold of them looked perfect. Separate a small space carefully and insert a scissors and cut the skirt. Pull the skirt away from the chair. Secondly use a pliers to remove staples winding the staple around the pliers to remove. Using a wire cutter will cause a possible cut to the wire.
You need to clean the chairs with a carpet furniture cleaner. Ugh who wants yeas of dead skin of a stranger in their new chair.
I guess you're not doing much instacart anymore
Not so much.
try watching furniture flipping teacher
I have! She’s great!
Glue down the rip.
They are not modern, they are traditional.
Buying stuff and selling it higher. Isn't that kind of like scamming
Almost everything you buy was purchased from the seller at a lower cost.
Scamming-a fraudulent or deceptive act. Nothing about this is fraudulent or deceptive. It is how free enterprise works.
Wholesale versus Retail. That's how it works.
😂 well someone doesn’t know the meaning of scam or how business works
Try buying a house!!
