KENYA · GUIDE 0337 · EDITION 4.2
Salon furniture resale in Kenya
Used salon furniture sold with dimensions, condition photographs and disclosed repairs.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional stock purchase: two used hydraulic styling chairs for resale to a new two-station salon. Advertise each chair separately with its own underside photograph, seat height range, arm-to-arm width, base width and disclosed upholstery defects. The sample buyer has a narrow entrance, so delivery is conditional on measured access. Exclude powered massage chairs, barber recliners with unknown mechanisms and any chair with an unresolved frame or hydraulic fault. Reupholstery may improve appearance but does not prove structural fitness.
Who is the first customer?
New salon owners and operators replacing selected furniture.
