In May 2026, 'Shutchou Kaitori Hanamaru' (Chiba Store) launched an initiative to enhance buyback and removal services for furniture originally purchased from Kanetaya. By partnering with brand-name furniture wholesaler 'SELUNO', the company has established a resale channel for proper valuation of domestic brand-name furniture. A buyback guarantee starting from 10,000 JPY has also been introduced. The service aims to address the needs of residents in Chiba dealing with housing transitions and estate sales, preventing high-value items like Karimoku and Hida Sangyo furniture from being disposed of as bulky waste.
Shutchou Kaitori Hanamaru Chiba, a comprehensive reuse service based in Ichikawa, Chiba, began an initiative in May 2026 to strengthen buyback and removal consultation services for furniture purchased from 'Kanetaya Furniture.'
In recent years, residents in Chiba have increasingly struggled with challenges such as 'inability to move large furniture' and 'uncertainty about the value of brand-name furniture.' Kanetaya Furniture, in particular, deals with many popular domestic brands, including Karimoku, Hida Sangyo, Pamouna, Ayano Seisakusho, and Simmons, many of which remain in high demand in the secondhand market.
By leveraging a joint resale channel with the professional brand furniture wholesaler and retailer 'SELUNO,' the shop has reinforced its appraisal and resale framework. For selected items, a buyback guarantee starting from 10,000 JPY (with conditions) has been introduced.
*This serves as a minimum guaranteed price. Depending on the brand, model, and condition, higher appraisals may be possible.
*Depending on the condition, model year, and removal situation, the labor cost for removal may exceed the purchase price.
Shutchou Kaitori Hanamaru Chiba has established a system to properly evaluate and circulate furniture that residents let go of during house moves or estate settlements, taking into account the unique characteristics of Kanetaya's large-scale domestic furniture offerings.

FAQ
What new measures has 'Home Pickup Hanamaru' implemented for Kanetaya furniture?
Starting from May 2026, we have strengthened our buyback and removal consultation services for Kanetaya furniture. By leveraging a joint sales route with SELUNO, a specialist wholesaler in brand furniture, we have enhanced our appraisal and resale systems. We have also introduced a buyback guarantee of 10,000 yen for certain eligible items.
Are there any conditions or targets for the buyback guarantee?
We offer a buyback guarantee of at least 10,000 yen for certain eligible items. However, the buyback price can be higher depending on the brand, model, and condition of the product. Conversely, the removal cost may exceed the buyback price based on the condition, age, and removal situation.
Why has the number of buyback consultations for Kanetaya furniture increased?
There has been an increase in consultations for disposing of large furniture, particularly domestically produced furniture, due to relocation or renovation in condominiums and the organization of family homes or estates in Chiba Prefecture. Kanetaya furniture, known for its high-quality brands like Karimoku and Hida Sangyo, is often cherished, but the difficulty of self-removal poses a challenge.
What are the main furniture brands that are prioritized for appraisal?
The main brands prioritized for appraisal include Karimoku, Hida Sangyo, Pamouna, and Ayanoseisakusho. These are highly sought-after domestic furniture brands in the used market.
