📖 The Hustle
Wicker and rattan furniture trends hard in spring and summer. Buy wicker chairs, peacock chairs, and rattan shelving units for $10-30 at thrift stores and garage sales during the off-season. Store them in your garage until spring. Clean with soapy water, spray paint in white, black, or a trendy color, and add a new cushion. A $15 rattan peacock chair with fresh white spray paint sells for $150-250 in April.
🚀 First Step
Search 'wicker chair' or 'rattan' on FB Marketplace now and buy one piece under $20. Clean, spray paint it white, and hold until spring or list immediately.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Buy wicker and rattan in fall and winter when demand is low and prices are cheapest
- Spray paint is the fastest way to refresh wicker — use Rust-Oleum in satin finish
- Add a $15 faux fur or boho cushion from Amazon to make the piece photo-ready
