Whether you have a shelf, bookcase or maybe just an older dining table from IKEA - now might be the time to refresh through Ikea's buy back program. They will allow you to bring in your products, that meet their requirements of course, and you'll get a buy back amount that IKEA will offer as a credit to buy something new. Not only will this help to eliminate waste, but it's also an opp for the gently used item to get some more love in their As-Is section. So you can visit an Ikea Store and cash as long as your product is from IKEA and isn't modified or hacked - meaning you had extra screws when you completed the build and instead of making sure it was held together properly, you used tape to hold it together, SMH, LOL! Since this is reportedly being rolled out more permanently in their 30 plus US stores - the good news is the stores in Emeryville and East Palo Alto of warehouses you can visit to get your buy back offer started.
