How does the IKEA 2nd life service work?
Start by using the Buyback 'quotation tool' to check how much store credit you can receive for your used IKEA products. Take your assembled furniture to your nearest IKEA store within 30 days of the date you received the estimate. In the store, the condition of the products will be evaluated and you will be presented with a final value. You'll receive an IKEA cashback card to spend in-store or online.
Then, use the Online form to find out how much store credit you can receive for your used IKEA products.
