"Enter an old favorite: IKEA. Many experts and DIYers love the Swedish brand for its affordability, and the fact that they make streamlined pieces that are practically begging for a DIY upgrade. And buying those affordable pieces secondhand can save you even more. You'll avoid tariffs, knock a hefty sum off of the original price tag since it's used, and, of course, you can feel good knowing that you are designing your home the environmentally friendly way."
"When you're searching for secondhand IKEA online, there's a trick to getting the best results. Additionally, make sure to vary your keywords. "Look for vague search terms like "cabinet" or "wardrobe" as well as the specific item name 'PAX wardrobe,' Smith suggests. "Not all sellers will remember the IKEA item name, so you might have to sift through other listings to find exactly what you're looking for.""
"IKEA also has its own buyback program, where shoppers can fill out a questionnaire to get a quote estimate, and then bring fully assembled pieces back to participating stores for instant payment. The buyback program is different from returning an item during a return period for a full refund. In the buyback program, you can "recycle" your item that's way past the return window for a future IKEA store credit, worth up to 50% of the original amount you paid."
IKEA offers affordable, streamlined furniture well-suited for DIY upgrades. Buying used IKEA avoids tariffs, reduces cost, and minimizes environmental impact. Search strategy should vary keywords; include vague terms like 'cabinet' and specific product names such as 'PAX wardrobe' because sellers may not recall exact IKEA model names. IKEA operates a buyback program that lets shoppers complete a questionnaire for a quote and bring fully assembled pieces to participating stores for instant payment. The buyback yields store credit up to 50% of the original price depending on item condition and differs from a standard return for a full refund.
