IKEA To Sell Used Furniture In Hungary
IKEA will launch its used furniture business in Hungary in 2019, the Swedish retail chain told Napi on Thursday.

The service will run under the slogan “the second life of furniture”.

IKEA will repurchase its used products from customers with coupons, as well as damaged items, and will sell them after repairing them.

The coupons can be used for purchases of other furniture items.

The opening of pop-up IKEA shops in city centres, where products are displayed and advice given but only online purchases can be made, is now off the agenda, the retailer added.
