Age Restricted Goods

There are some items that, by law, must only be purchased by customers who are 18 or over. These items are covered by Government Legislation and it is our duty as responsible retailers to ensure that we adhere to this legislation. With this in mind IKEA has made the decision to have 21 as their age restriction on these goods.
