What is the “IKEA Second Life” service and what does it offer?

Learn how you can have used IKEA furniture evaluated and give it a second life through IKEA Second Life.

IKEA Second Life helps selected IKEA furniture get a new chance.
Well-maintained furniture is inspected and then resold in the IKEA Second Life shop.
The service is part of IKEA’s sustainability strategy.

HOW IKEA SECOND LIFE WORKS

✓ Evaluation of selected IKEA furniture
✓ Quality inspection of products
✓ Resale in the Second Life shop
✓ Supports a more sustainable furniture lifecycle

WHICH FURNITURE IS SUITABLE?

To qualify for possible buy-back, furniture should be:
✓ in good condition
✓ complete
✓ clean and odour-neutral
✓ unmodified and assembled

IMPORTANT TO KNOW

Not all IKEA products can be bought back.
For hygiene reasons, items such as:
✗ sofas
✗ upholstered furniture
cannot be accepted.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FURNITURE?

After a quality inspection, suitable furniture items are resold through the IKEA Second Life shop.
This supports a more sustainable use of furniture and resources.
