IKEA U.S. Makes Buy Back & Resell Service Permanent in 37 Stores

After a successful pilot program, IKEA U.S. announced they are offering the Buy Back & Resell service permanently in 37 stores as of April 1st.  

The Buy Back & Resell service gives IKEA Family members the opportunity to sell back their gently used IKEA furniture in exchange for IKEA store credit. Participants are able to give their furniture a second life through resale in the store’s AS-IS section, providing an even more sustainable and affordable option for the many people. The Buy Back & Resell service is available for fully assembled and functional IKEA furniture only, and all products will be reviewed based on condition, age, and functionality. With safety at the forefront, all recalled products and particular categories of products such as Chests of Drawers, will not be accepted. Additional information about the service and assessment process can be found at IKEA-USA.com/buyback. 

 

Details: 

• While 33 stores participated in the nationwide pilot, four additional IKEA stores are participating in the permanent service – College Park, MD; Carson, CA; Centennial, CO; and Brooklyn, NY. Find the full list of stores here. 
• IKEA Family members will have the opportunity to sell their gently used IKEA furniture back to IKEA in exchange for store credit. They will be instructed to go online and complete the Buy Back & Resell form to have their furniture considered and inspected in person at a participating location. 
• All gently used furniture approved for resale and brought back to a participating IKEA location will be resold in the store’s AS-IS area, which will provide an even more affordable option for many people.
