If you’ve got older or gently used IKEA items, you’re in luck because the furniture giant has sweetened the deal on its sell-back program.
Until November 30, IKEA Family members get double the value back on the popular service.

To participate in the sell-back program, you need to submit an online application to determine the amount of in-store credit you can get for your used IKEA products.
You’ll receive an estimate, and then you can bring back your assembled furniture to the location that approved your sell-back within 30 days of receiving your estimate.
Qualifying items should be in good, resealable condition, complete and fully functional, properly assembled when returned, and clean and unmodified. A list of eligible items is below.
In the store’s exchange and returns area, a staff member will examine the condition of your items, and you’ll receive a final price that may differ from the original estimate.
You’ll receive an IKEA refund card to spend online or in-store at any time, but it can’t be used in its Bistros, Restaurants or Swedish Food Markets.
