Just landed a flat in Riyadh and don't fancy spending thousands on new furniture? Good news: the city has one of the busiest second-hand markets in the Kingdom. Whether you need a majlis set, a bed, a wardrobe or a full apartment package, you can furnish a place for a fraction of retail using a handful of well-known apps and one legendary outdoor market. Here's exactly where to look, what to pay, and how to avoid getting burned.
The quick answer on where to buy used furniture in Riyadh: most residents use the best marketplaces and apps — Haraj, Dubizzle Saudi and OpenSooq — for listings, and head to Souq Haraj Ibn Qasim in the south of the city when they want to see and bargain in person. Below we break each one down with real 2026 price ranges.
Why do so many people here buy second-hand in the first place? Riyadh has a high turnover of expats and short-term contracts, so households are constantly arriving and leaving. That means a steady flow of near-new furniture hitting the market at knock-down prices — and if you're on a budget or a two-year posting, it makes little sense to buy everything new.
The fastest way to furnish a flat in Riyadh on a budget
The used furniture scene in Riyadh runs on two channels. First, the apps and classifieds sites, where sellers post photos, you negotiate over chat, then meet to collect. Second, the physical flea markets, where you walk the stalls, inspect the item, and pay cash on the spot. Most people combine both — scrolling apps for specific pieces and visiting a market for bulk bargains.
Across every channel the pattern is the same: buyers pay the seller directly, there's no commission or subscription just to browse, and almost everything is negotiable. Cash is king, though many private sellers now accept bank transfers too.
Best apps and marketplaces for used furniture in Riyadh
Haraj
Haraj is the heavyweight of Saudi classifieds, and its furniture category is where most of Riyadh's used sofas, majlis sets, beds, tables, cabinets and appliances change hands. Listings are dense and updated constantly, and you negotiate directly in the in-app chat with no platform fee for buyers. Expect used majlis sets and living-room furniture to sit typically around SAR 400–1,500, depending on condition and size. Filter by Riyadh and by district to keep pickups close to home.
Dubizzle Saudi
Dubizzle's Riyadh Home & Garden section is clean, easy to filter and strong for both single pieces and full apartment furniture packages. Prices often cluster around SAR 300–1,000, and you reach sellers through the built-in chat or by phone. No subscription is needed to browse or contact sellers, which makes it a good first stop if you find app clutter overwhelming.
OpenSooq
OpenSooq's Riyadh section carries a wide spread of individual used items across districts such as Al Hamra, Al Quds and As Suwaidi. It's especially handy for one-off pieces — a recliner, a cabinet, a side table — which typically list around SAR 100–600. You pay the seller directly, and there's no fixed buyer fee.
Mustadam
Mustadam is a newer mobile app focused specifically on used furniture across Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh. It leans on verified second-hand listings, in-app chat with sellers, and arranged payment and delivery, so it's a tidier experience than the sprawling general classifieds. Browsing is free for buyers, and prices track the usual Riyadh second-hand levels — roughly hundreds to low thousands of SAR for a major item.
Mourjan, FridayMarket & Mstaml
Three more sites worth a scroll for bargain hunters:
- Mourjan — often the cheapest end of the market: combined sofa-and-cabinet sets around SAR 200–300 and individual wardrobes (almari) around SAR 75–100, usually sold from residential areas like Rabwah with pickup arranged directly.
- FridayMarket — good for bedroom sets and mixed furniture lots; a full used bedroom set (bedside table, wardrobe, dresser) can appear around SAR 300, with buyer pickup near landmarks such as Granada or Exit 9.
- Mstaml — its "أثاث وديكور" (furniture and décor) category lists both items and clear-out/transport services, handy when a household is leaving the country and selling everything at once.
The best physical market: Souq Haraj Ibn Qasim
If you'd rather touch the furniture before you buy, head to Souq Haraj Ibn Qasim (Haraj bin Gassem) in the al-Masani district on Al-Ha'ir Road, south Riyadh. It's a sprawling outdoor second-hand flea and furniture market where you walk the stalls and auction areas for used furniture, carpets and appliances, then bargain hard and pay cash.
Rough price expectations if you turn up with cash:
- Standard used 3-seat sofa set — commonly SAR 300–800
- Larger majlis sets — often SAR 1,000–2,000.
- Carpets and appliances — widely variable; inspect carefully and test anything electrical before paying.
Go early, dress for the heat, and bring a friend with a pickup or arrange a small truck (see delivery below). Prices are always softer for buyers who can pay and take the item away the same day.
What used furniture actually costs in Riyadh (2026 prices)
Here's a realistic snapshot of what residents are paying this year. Treat these as typical ranges — condition, brand and location swing prices a lot:
- Used majlis / living-room set — typically around SAR 400–1,500 on apps; SAR 1,000–2,000 for larger sets at the market.
- Three-seat sofa set — typically around SAR 300–800.
- Single wardrobe (almari) — typically around SAR 75–200.
- Full bedroom set — typically around SAR 300 and up.
- Recliner, cabinet or side table — typically around SAR 100–600.
- Full apartment package — often bundled at a discount when someone is leaving Saudi Arabia; negotiate the whole lot together.
How to buy safely and avoid scams
Second-hand buying in Riyadh is generally safe, but a few habits keep you out of trouble:
- Inspect before you pay. Check sofas for sagging frames and stains, open every drawer, and test appliances at the seller's home if possible.
- Meet in a safe, public or verified spot. For smaller items, arrange a daytime meet-up. For furniture, you'll usually collect from the seller's flat — go with someone if you can.
- Avoid paying in advance. Never transfer money before seeing the item. If a seller demands a deposit to "hold" a piece, treat it as a red flag.
- Beware of prices that are too good. A near-new majlis set at a giveaway price is often bait — verify the photos are real and not lifted from a store.
- Keep payment simple. Cash on collection is the norm; if you transfer, do it only once you're standing in front of the item.
Delivery, pickup and moving your furniture home
Most private sellers won't deliver, so budget for transport. In Riyadh you can usually book a small pickup truck (a "dyna") through the same classifieds apps or through local moving-and-transport listings, often for a modest flat fee within the city depending on distance and how many men you need for lifting. Confirm the price, the pickup address and whether the driver helps carry before you commit. For a single lightweight item a Careem or Uber isn't practical — stick to a proper truck for anything larger than a chair.
FAQs
What's the cheapest place to buy used furniture in Riyadh?
For rock-bottom prices, Mourjan and the Souq Haraj Ibn Qasim flea market tend to be cheapest — you'll find sofa-and-cabinet combos around SAR 200–300 and wardrobes from about SAR 75. The trade-off is you do the legwork and arrange your own transport.
Which app is best for used furniture in Riyadh?
Haraj has the largest volume of listings, Dubizzle Saudi is the easiest to filter, and Mustadam is a newer app dedicated purely to used furniture with a cleaner buying experience. Many residents check all three.
Is it safe to buy second-hand furniture from strangers in Riyadh?
Yes, if you follow basic precautions: inspect the item in person, never pay before you see it, meet in daytime, and bring a friend for pickups. Cash on collection is the safest and most common arrangement.
Do I have to pay a fee to browse these marketplaces?
No. Buyers browse and contact sellers free of charge on Haraj, Dubizzle Saudi, OpenSooq, Mustadam and the rest. There's no commission or subscription just to look and buy — you only pay the seller for the item itself.
How do I get the furniture delivered?
Book a small pickup truck (dyna) through the classifieds apps or local transport listings for a modest fee within the city. Confirm the price and whether the driver helps carry the item before you book.
Can I furnish a whole flat second-hand?
Easily. Look for full apartment packages — especially from expats leaving Saudi Arabia — and negotiate the entire lot together for the best discount. A modest flat can often be furnished for well under SAR 3,000.
