Buy Back & Resell

Do you have IKEA furniture that’s an oldie, but it's still a goodie and looking to retire it? We’ll buy it back and you help pave the way toward sustainable living. By finding your furniture a new home, we are making the things we love last longer.

How it works:

Start by filling out the form below to get emailed a quote of your buy back value. Please bring a copy of your quote, buyback number and your fully assembled furniture to your participating IKEA store where a co-worker will assess your furniture’s buy back value in person. When you buy back, you will get store credit and your furniture gets a second life in the As-Is department.

Where it’s available:

The Buy Back & Resell service is currently available at participating IKEA locations as an exclusive benefit to IKEA Family members.
