If you’re on a budget but still love the look of modern design, IKEA is a popular place to find that affordable furniture fix. But could you imagine yourself going “vintage modern” by purchasing second-hand IKEA products? Just a few days ago IKEA launched a new program in Sweden that offers used IKEA pieces online, and they intend to extend this idea to other foreign outlets. Peter Agnefäll, CEO of IKEA Sweden told the daily newspaper Dagens Nyheter, “It is about taking an environmental responsibility for how our products are used in the longer term and making it easier for our customers to do their part for their responsibility towards the environment.” We’re not too sure about the quality and life span of most IKEA furniture, but we do appreciate the gesture as the big-box company tries to reduce waste with a more sustainable business venture.
I live in Essex Uk, I have to move to other country and I want to sell a Ikea furniture set:
4 single bed (matress incluyed), 1 double bed, 2 sofas (3 and 2 places), 1 coffee table and 1 tv table. All of them has only 10 months and it is in perfect conditions. I sell them by 70% off. What I have to do? There is someone interesed?

I love this idea. I just gave my 10 year old IKEA couch to a cousin yesterday. Except for the cushion covers fraying by the seams a bit, from being washed, it’s in great shape. And it was white!
