Furnishing an apartment or refreshing a wardrobe does not have to mean full retail prices. These thrift secondhand stores in Abu Dhabi have logged close to 1,500 Google reviews between them, and one Mussafah furniture warehouse alone accounts for well over half of that, which tells you where the city actually shops secondhand.

Short answer: For secondhand furniture, Al Thahani New & Used Furniture leads with 4.5 stars across 895 reviews, the most of any store on this page. For curated preloved fashion, Hello&GoodBuy holds a perfect 5.0 from 84 reviews. Expect furniture pieces from around AED 15 at bargain-bin clothing racks up to full room sets at the Mussafah warehouses.

Our take: A solid furniture and appliance option alongside Al Thahani in the Mussafah secondhand cluster. Inspect appliances carefully in-store, since used electronics come with limited recourse.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the store’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Abu Dhabi thrift and secondhand stores. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.5 from hundreds of reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much do secondhand goods cost in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

Prices vary widely by category and condition. Reviewers of clothing-focused shops mention per-kilo and per-item bundle pricing, while furniture prices depend heavily on the piece and its condition.

JobTypical price

Individual clothing itemsAED 15 - 47.50
Small furniture item (per reviewer)AED 800 and up

Prices reflect figures mentioned directly in customer reviews of these businesses in August 2026, not a published price list. Always confirm current pricing and condition with the store before buying.

What to ask before you buy secondhand in Abu Dhabi

  • Is delivery included, and what does it cost for larger furniture pieces?
  • What is the return or exchange policy on used items?
  • For appliances, is there any short-term guarantee if something stops working?
  • For clothing, is pricing per item, per kilo, or a bundle deal?
  • Can I inspect the item in person before paying in full?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these thrift and secondhand stores?

We started from thrift and secondhand businesses in Abu Dhabi with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Where is most of Abu Dhabi’s secondhand furniture sold?

Mussafah’s industrial district is the main hub, with several used-furniture warehouses including Al Thahani and Najm Al Roken clustered there.

Can I sell my own furniture or clothing to these stores?

Several of the businesses above, including the Mussafah furniture shops and Hello&GoodBuy, buy or take consignment on used items. Confirm their current terms by phone before bringing items in.

The bottom line

For furniture and appliances, Al Thahani is the safest default on sheer review volume and consistency. For curated fashion, Hello&GoodBuy’s perfect rating and boutique model make it the standout. Either way, inspect the piece in person before you commit.
