Why We Rented Our Furniture

I constantly get asked the question “Why did you decide to rent your furniture instead of buy?” Here is why: We currently rent our apartment, and don’t plan on being here longer than two years, so why would I go through the hassle of buying all new expensive furniture. Instead we decided to subscribe to Feather, a rental furniture service that allows you to pay a monthly fee for high-quality furnishings that you can always trade in. I wish Feather had existed when I first moved into the city because all of the old furniture that I bought to fit my previous apartment is now either sitting in my parent’s garage, or was pawned off to the tenets who took over my lease. With Feather, all you have to do is pick out pieces of furniture you love on their website, and they will be delivered and assembled within seven days for free. From there, you have the option to swap out items, buy them if you decide they’re great pieces that can move with you forever, or return them at the end of your subscription term if you don’t feel they are necessary. So it’s not only a great way to save money, but it’s beneficial for the environment too. With Feather, you don’t have to throw away furniture that doesn’t fit in your new space each time you move (which creates an insane amount of detrimental waste each year). Plus, it’s nice to know that I can furnish my place with pieces I love without having to commit to them long-term.
