As of November, Canadian Ikea branches will buy back your “gently used” Ikea furniture in return for store credit. It will be sold at a reduced price in the store’s “As Is” section. I’m sure they won’t be taking back your used mattress but the design on those POANG chairs hasn’t changed for years and according to the in-store robot demonstrations, they are indestructible.  Also think of the upside, it comes PUT TOGETHER ALREADY!!!

The program is specific to Canada for now, but the company runs similar initiatives in a few other countries, including Portugal and Japan.

As expected eco friendly Hilary, LOVES the idea but Curtis is suspicious of the IKEA triple dip.  Here’s their conversation about it:
