If you want to rent furniture in NYC, then only three of those companies will cover you (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livefeather.com\"><b><u>Feather<\/u><\/b><\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cort.com\"> <b><u>Cort<\/u><\/b><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/getmobley.com\"> <b><u>Mobley<\/u><\/b><\/a>). The final company, Furnishr, covers most of North America and offers outright purchase of furniture. Most of the rental companies have fair policies around damage. Most will be happy to fix up small scratches and get out stains, and all rental furniture has to undergo a robust sanitization process between rentals.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-973a7c3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"973a7c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSo now that you know the basics, let&#8217;s see if any of the scenarios below apply to you. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-be6f915 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"be6f915\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf you just moved to the city and started a new job, you might be a <b>Type One: You are fairly location-insecure, and you don&#8217;t mind medium quality furniture with a fairly low monthly cost.<\/b> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca831e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ca831e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf that&#8217;s you, then you might like <a href=\"https:\/\/getmobley.com\"> <b><u>Mobley<\/u><\/b><\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livefeather.com\"><b><u>Feather<\/u><\/b><\/a>. The major con is that you&#8217;re putting money into someone else&#8217;s pocket. Another drawback is that the lower quality furniture might make you feel like you&#8217;re living in an IKEA house, except the furniture doesn&#8217;t even belong to you. Pros? By renting furniture in NYC, you spend less money up front. Plus, someone else will take away your furniture whenever you decide to move.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f79b88b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f79b88b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tHere&#8217;s another type of customer. <b>Type Two: You like to keep a low environmental impact, but you&#8217;re working with a moderate budget.<\/b>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54306db elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54306db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn this case, you should check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livefeather.com\"><b><u>Feather<\/u><\/b><\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.furnishr.com\/?utm_source=blog_rent-furniture-nyc\"><b><u>Furnishr<\/u><\/b><\/a>. Feather is a rental company, but they&#8217;re committed to reducing plastic packaging and keeping furniture out of landfills. Furnishr is a comprehensive furnishing company, so you work with a designer and then purchase your items upfront. If you&#8217;re not sure about living in NYC in the future, then look at Feather. But if you aim to stay in the city, then choose Furnishr. Buying furniture can actually have a lower net environmental impact than renting. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97d6168 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"97d6168\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThat&#8217;s due to the repetitive shipping, packaging, and sanitization processes required by rental companies. If you wanted to rent furniture in NYC to reduce your environmental impact, you may want to see how Furnishr compares. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2f2d2d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a2f2d2d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Type Three: You&#8217;re busy, you&#8217;re ready to invest in quality pieces, and you&#8217;d rather spend a little more money upfront than deal with returning your furniture in the future.\u00a0<\/b> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4de0562 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4de0562\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf this is you, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.furnishr.com\/?utm_source=blog_rent-furniture-nyc\"><b><u>Furnishr<\/u><\/b><\/a> is the company for you. Whereas all companies on our list offer some kind of style consultation and set-up, Furnishr is the only one that works off your actual floor plan. They also coordinate a white glove delivery and clean up. Another perk? Furnishr works directly with manufacturers, so you get the absolute lowest price on the items you choose. Companies like Mobley and Feather base their rent-to-own prices on retail price, rather than manufacturer price. So, you&#8217;ll probably end up paying more for your items with rent-to-own than if you buy outright with Furnishr. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-431b38f elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"431b38f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e6254b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4e6254b\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b8d60ec e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b8d60ec\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c83446 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5c83446\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf you&#8217;re still feeling unsure, just think about what your future self wants.

But &#8220;furniture flexibility&#8221; can also be overrated, especially if you don&#8217;t feel like putting money into someone else&#8217;s pocket just to have nice things. It can definitely start to feel a bit soulless to be surrounded by what is technically someone else&#8217;s furniture.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7aaf526 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7aaf526\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf you&#8217;re feeling the financial stress, we get it!
