IKEA will pay you to return old furniture, here’s how

April 5, 2022

If you’ve been wanting to update your home decor, IKEA’s new Buy Back and Resell program may make it a little easier.

The Swedish retailer is willing to buy your old IKEA furniture so you can put it toward something new, while also assisting in moving toward a more sustainable lifestyle.

To get the ball rolling on your store credit, fill out a form on its website, where you’ll then receive an emailed quote. Then, bring your fully assembled furniture to a participating IKEA store along with a copy of your quote and buyback number. A store employee will then give you a final price. You’ll get store credit and your furniture gets a second lease on life in the As-Is department.

Some items — like non-IKEA products, outdoor products and mattresses — are not currently eligible for participation in the buy-back program.

The program is available at participating locations, including Atlanta. For more information visit Ikea’s website.
