(KRLD/KNX) — Have you outgrown that "Billy" bookcase or your IKEA dining room table and chairs that you bought back in the day? Don't worry, there's now a solution that pays.
Usually, your only resort would be to throw them out, give them away or toil away as a seller in an online marketplace. But now, IKEA said it's ready to take the unwanted or out-of-date furniture back in return for some bucks to use at its stores.
The store previously had a temporary program called "Buy Back & Resell," and, as of Friday, it is now permanent in every IKEA in the United States.
"At IKEA we believe our products deserve a second life," the retailer wrote on its website.
"Under this service...stores will buy back specific IKEA furniture products from you in return for a gift card. We will then resell your second-hand furniture in our “As-Is” department, which provides a more affordable option for many consumers."
IKEA said its goal with the buy back program is to "act more sustainably" for the world.
Owners can sell back anything from office drawer cabinets, sideboards, bookcases, small tables, multimedia furniture, to cabinets and other furniture.
However, the Swedish retailer said there are several items that it will not buy back — including beds, sofas, mattresses, textiles and lighting fixtures. And plants...they won't buy plants back.
