Second chance market – reuse, repair and more
You can save resources by buying used products – including furniture. We believe that all furniture should be used for as long as possible. Our second chance market is filled with IKEA products looking for a second chance in a new home – and you can take them home with you for a very reasonable price.
The second chance market is filled with ex-display items, products that are being discontinued – and furniture that we’ve bought back from other customers through our buyback scheme. We find a new home for pre-loved products in the second chance markets in all our stores.

Extend the lifespan of your favourite furniture
Are you ready to say goodbye to your old furniture? Or maybe you need a replacement screw or cover? IKEA has all the services and products you need. Perhaps you could sell your furniture back to us or order a spare part online at no cost to you.
Our services
Why have we transformed our furniture treasure trove into the second chance market?
Turning IKEA into a circular business is one of our biggest plans – and challenges – for the future. It’s part of our commitment to become climate positive by 2030.
We’ve created our second chance markets to encourage our potential business partners and customers to contribute to a sustainable circular economy through recycling, repairing and reusing used IKEA furniture.
The second chance market is filled with a fantastic range of IKEA products at affordable prices. We want to inspire our customers and give them a way to make more sustainable choices in their everyday lives.
Repair, reuse, recycle
Products end up in our second chance market for different reasons. You might find...
- Products that are being discontinued but are still in perfect condition.
- Used products we’ve bought back from other customers through our buyback service.
- Ex-display items of furniture that have been used to inspire customers in store but are now ready to find a home of their own.
- Furniture that has cosmetic flaws but is fully functional and safe to use.
- The condition of products in the second chance market can vary, so all products are sold as described. You buy each product as seen – whether it’s in its original packaging or fully assembled.
