YOOO IKEA has a secondhand, discontinued and ex-display category https://www.ikea.com/au/en/campaigns/a-second-chance-for-our-furniture-pub06dd9d21/

Might be worth checking from time to time

Edit: My one concern with returned items though would be bedbugs. Or hidden damage that could make something less safe. It’s a shame you probably can’t inspect before you buy

The note at the bottom of the page says that you can inspect before finalising purchase instore. Recommends it, in fact.

So you definitely get a chance to look it over. That’s really good then. Even minor repairs I could handle but I am picky about cleanliness.

I’ll definitely be lurking to see if there’s anything I might want
