IKEA discontinues sales of controversial items across all its outlets
IKEA Permanently Discontinues Popular Products
Consumers who frequent the popular Swedish furniture store may be in for a surprise as IKEA announces the permanent removal of several well-known and beloved items from its product range.
Among the soon-to-be absent articles are the flower stand "DAKSJUS," the cozy caterpillar "KLAPPA," and the 2-seater sofa "GLOSTAD." These items, which have earned cult status among loyal IKEA fans, will no longer be available after they are removed from the store's inventory.
In addition to these furniture pieces and accessories, the audio manufacturer Sonos will also be parting ways with IKEA. The two companies had collaborated to bring the popular Symfonisk series to market, which features Wi-Fi speakers integrated into various furniture pieces. Now that the collaboration is ending, IKEA will no longer offer the Symfonisk articles going forward.
However, IKEA is not entirely abandoning its customers. The retailer is expected to introduce new products to offset the loss of the discontinued items. Consumers can look forward to these new offerings in the near future. Those who still wish to purchase one of the departing cult products are advised to act quickly, as items advertised as part of the "Last Chance" sale may serve dual purposes as a reminder of the product's impending discontinuation and a marketing tool.
While IKEA has not confirmed a timeline for these product removals, some items are currently available for a "last chance to buy" on the IKEA Australia website. Such products include the BERGPALM Fitted sheet, grey/stripe (Single), EKEDALEN Extendable tables, EKEDALEN Chair (oak effect/Orrsta light grey), FEJKA Artificial potted plant (in/outdoor palm), HANNALILL Curtains (1 pair, beige), DOPPA Bathtub mat (light grey), and HÄSTVISKARE Mini chest of drawers (oak effect). These items' inclusion in the "Last Chance" section suggests they may soon be phased out or discontinued.
Consumers who wish to inquire further about the discontinuation of specific IKEA products are advised to contact IKEA Customer Service directly.
Other IKEA items that might interest home-and-garden enthusiasts and lifestyle enthusiasts are the BERGPALM Fitted sheet, the EKEDALEN Extendable tables, the EKEDALEN Chair, the FEJKA Artificial potted plant, the HANNALILL Curtains, the DOPPA Bathtub mat, and the HÄSTVISKARE Mini chest of drawers. Though they are currently available for a "Last Chance" sale, their removal from the store's inventory may signal their interior-design popularity.
