Stop guessing at the thrift store. This two-page printable checklist walks you through exactly what to look for before you buy a piece of furniture — so you bring home profitable flips, not expensive mistakes.
This is the checklist you wish you had the first time you brought home a piece that wasn't worth the work. Whether you are standing in a thrift store, scrolling Facebook Marketplace, or walking an estate sale, this gives you a clear, consistent process every single time.
What's included:
- 2-page printable PDF (US Letter size)
- 7 evaluation sections: category check, structure and stability, drawers and hardware, surface and finish, the smell test, red flags to walk away from, and a profit check
- Field notes section to jot asking price, dimensions and potential sale price on the spot
- Clean, minimal design — easy to print or save to your phone camera roll
How to use it:
Print it and keep it in your car. Save it to your camera roll. Pull it up every time you are standing in front of a potential piece. It takes the guesswork out of the decision so you can move faster, source smarter and stop bringing home pieces that cost more than they return.
Want to go deeper? This checklist is built from the sourcing framework covered in the Furniture Sourcing book by Olive Street Designs, available on Amazon. The book walks through all four key sourcing principles in full detail — including the smell test — so you can build a consistent, profitable sourcing process from the ground up.
