Debunking Myths About Renting Furniture

What is this great trend that the pandemic caused? Well, it’s renting furniture in Toronto. More people are warming up to this idea. That said, myths about renting furniture still abound so it’s time to debunk these in this article.

First myth – only single people tend to rent furniture

The furniture rental industry has evolved. Many companies have sets for married people and people with kids.

Second myth – the only rental furniture you’ll be able to find is junk

It’s not true that rental companies only have a limited selection of low-quality furniture. You’ll be able to find the finest brands in the furniture industry. These include Tuft & Needle and Burrow. The reason why is because furniture companies are picky in terms of the type of furniture that they buy to rent out to customers. They are wary of buying pieces that need to be assembled by the customer or that look like they’re made out of wood board.

Third myth – rental furniture is ugly

Now, this is definitely a myth. You can find the prettiest and the most fashionable pieces for furniture for rent. Rental companies know that they would go out of business if they didn’t make offering beautiful pieces of furniture for rent a priority. The owners and managers at these companies literally scour the ends of the Earth for regal pieces that will make your home look like a nice mansion!

Indeed, there is no style or brand that these furniture rental places don’t offer. Many of these places have state-of-the-art technology that allows you to recreate a 3D image of your home and experiment staging it with different brands and combinations of furniture.

Fourth myth – it’s not easy to rent furniture

Au contraire! It’s now easier than ever to rent furniture. The realities of the pandemic necessitated this. It’s also not true that you’re stuck to a lengthy contract if you want to rent furniture. If you want to rent furniture you choose the combinations and packages that you like. Pick the leasing time period that works for you. You visualize how this furniture will look in your house with 2D/3D space planning. The furniture rental company will check your credit and finalize your lease if everything looks good. The furniture will be delivered at a convenient time for you. Finally, you can change or upgrade furniture whenever you want to.Many furniture rental companies have ready-to-move packages. You sign the lease and see the furniture on moving day.

Fifth myth – renting furniture is unsanitary

Now, this is definitely not true. In fact, it has never been true and this is even more so the case in the world of COVID-19. All furniture rental companies will clean, disinfect, and inspect furniture to see if it has any issues. Only the best quality and most sanitary pieces will be delivered to your home.

Sixth myth – you’ll lose more money in the long-run if you rent furniture

No, this is not the case. It may pleasantly surprise you to learn that it may actually be cheaper to rent furniture in the long-run than it would be to buy it upfront. Chances are you’ll have paid off your rented furniture in full long before your lease ends!

It may make more sense to rent than buy

Most people tell you that buying upfront makes much more economic and practical sense than buying. However, given the facts presented above, you may (rightly) conclude that renting furniture makes more economic and practical sense than buying it upfront.
