I wouldn't care as long as it's not drop side and when I inspected it, the pegs to hold the various levels/stages of the spring base aren't busted. We almost bought our furniture used, cause there was a particular style I really wanted.

I think it's also important to know brand/model/age information so you can check for recalls. 

I've heard of people buying used car seats for the BRU trade-in deal.

Be aware of pets, too; it's not a deal-breaker, but I'd want to know what animals it had been around.
