The trend of renting furniture has witnessed a massive boom in the past few years. Many people, especially millennials and young professionals, have finally understood the usefulness of renting furniture rather than buying. Rapid modernization and busy lifestyle of today’s society has further paved the way for this trend to enter into homes and businesses. The concept of renting furniture has now resolved all the problems of unwanted loss of money, the regret of an impulse buy, transportation and moving issues, and many more.
The ultimate money saver
One of the main advantages of renting furniture is that it saves the client thousands of rupees. A good quality bed and wardrobe combo can cost Rs. 60,000 or more. However, renting that same package will only cost Rs.1300 per month. Similarly, a sofa set can churn out as much as Rs. 20,000 from your pocket but renting the same will only cost Rs.1499 per month. That is some major savings .
Moreover, people tend to buy on impulse quite a lot. This can lead to later regrets. Renting furniture allows a customer to first try out a bunch of different designs and décor that will be functional for them and also go with their personal tastes.
Changing cities is not a problem anymore
With the increase in urbanization many youngsters are moving in to new cities and doing is very frequently. It is a hassle to carry your old bulky furniture every time you move from one place to another. This takes up a lot of time, money and man power. Renting comes as an easy solution in this case. Simply go online and select your favorite service provider and click on all the furniture you need in your new home. With delivery and set up complimentary, the client is left with no headaches. They can easily return the pieces after their contract is over.
A boon for start ups
With service providers accommodating customized office furniture in their catalog, many young professionals have turned towards the option of renting their office furniture rather than buying. This saves a major amount of capital since it's cheaper. Plus it saves both time and space.
A new business experiences many ups and downs during its first few years. Buying new furniture and later regretting because you don't have enough space to store them is just the worst situation.
Easy return and no maintenance headache
Furniture prices always go down when you try to sell them. One cannot even obtain a quarter of their money back upon selling. With renting ,this problem never arises. Renting furniture makes sure that you only pay for what you use. After use the service provider representatives will come and will pick up the rented pieces. There is no need to stress about finding the right buyer, negotiate and still get less than what you deserve. Many providers also gives free maintenance and services for their rentals to sweeten the deal some more.
Special occasions and conferences
Rented furniture is best used when a business or a client is suddenly in need of few extra tables, chairs or beds but do not want to buy them. A meeting in the office or a project that will go on for free months may demand new set of tables, chairs and office desks for the extra employees. Here, buying all those extra stuff is a burden as they will be of no use once the conference or project is over.
At home, you might find yourself welcoming a large number of relatives and guests during the holiday months or special occasion such as a wedding. But you don't have enough dining tables, beds and wardrobes for them. This is the perfect scenario to rent in some extra furniture for the guests and return them once the purpose is fulfilled.
