Used pieces of furniture - advantages and disadvantages

It's not always worth going to the nearest IKEA store. For example, if you only need one or two additional pieces of furniture, you can definitely purchase them second-hand.

• For you, buying used has the great advantage that you do not have to assemble the furniture yourself. In addition, you can see this already in the assembled state. When you pick them up from the seller, you should take a closer look at any damage.

• As a seller, you should also mention any existing damage in the description and have this confirmed in writing. This means that the buyer cannot complain about this later if he only notices it when installing it on site.

• It can be a disadvantage that used furniture requires more space during transport. Unless you unscrew these on site and assemble them in their new location.

Purchase IKEA furniture that has already been used

• Used, but still in good condition, IKEA furniture can be found on the online platform, for example Wikinea offered. Here you have the opportunity to search throughout Germany as well as in your region.


Can I take the furniture with me straight away at IKEA? - You have these options

Furniture at IKEA is very... because of its simplicity and sometimes unusual design.

• Also take a look around the local daily press and post a search advertisement yourself. This saves you a long journey to the seller if necessary. You can also post your request in the local supermarkets.

• But also look at the eBay classifieds for used IKEA furniture. Here you can also restrict your search regionally, but also browse through the offers throughout Germany. Once you have decided on a provider, the best thing to do is to contact them by phone or send them an email straight away.

• Of course, you will also find a large number of new and used furniture on various auction platforms. You have to hope, however, that you will be the highest bidder, unless the seller makes a "buy now" offer. You either have to take care of the transport yourself or pay any additional costs. In this case, buying a new piece of IKEA furniture is certainly cheaper.
