Why we sell second–hand furniture

​We all need to consider how the choices we make impact the planet. When improving our homes, we can ask ourselves if furniture we don’t need could be given a second life. Every year, perfectly fine second-hand furniture is thrown away. That’s why we’re happy to buy back and resell your old IKEA furniture and give it a second life in a new home. 

Keep good things going! ​

With our buy back service it’s never been easier to pass on your pre-loved IKEA items for a second life. Start the valuation process by filling out an online form to get a quote on your gently used IKEA furniture.

Browse second-hand at IKEA

Our in-store circular area has a selection of products ready for a new life. Some are display items, some second-hand gems from our buy back service and some discontinued items. 

Get inspired

Besides buying products at gentle prices, the As-is area at your local IKEA store is the place to discover new ideas. Visit the Learn& Share section, attend workshops, and explore our care and repair range of spare parts.

Working hard to become a circular business by 2030

One key part in achieving this goal is to create and offer products that are designed to be repurposed, repaired, reused, resold, or – as the last resort – recycled, generating as little waste as possible.
