IKEA warranty for desks
The short version
IKEA doesn't cover everything, but keeps listed desks, storage and office chairs covered to 10 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 17 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From IKEA's published warranty, checked October 2026.
