Frequently Asked Furniture Rental Questions

Rent-to-rent is designed for temporary needs—perfect for people who only need furniture for a few months to a couple of years. You’re renting the furniture, not buying it, and return everything when you're done. It’s flexible, affordable, and hassle-free.

Rent-to-own, on the other hand, is a path to purchasing. You make payments over time and eventually own the furniture, often at a higher overall cost. It’s a better fit if you’re furnishing a permanent home.
