Thanks for the thoughts! Curious to hear what type of furniture you would be purchasing that would break even to our furniture at 3 months?

The breakeven price for our customers is always longer than the total price of the rental. Wonder if we should be explicitly stating this on our site?

What about this bed in Queen Size? (First piece I priced out)

Feather 3 month rental price: $207

Wayfair purchase price (including shipping): $201

Your prices may be lower than I've seen, though there are a lot of variables of course, not sure. But whether breaking even at 3 or 6 months is not much different.

I think the larger point (I'm now realizing) is that rental shops focus on monthly prices when it often doesn't make sense. Usually only already-furnished apartments can be had for a month or three. Unfurnished usually requires a full year lease, with only a fraction available for six months, say in downtown or a university town.

So, I might try lower monthly prices for a 6 and 12 month commitments. I think that would get me "over the hump" as a potential customer.

Yes you should. I was looking at some kind of case study on your site to get an idea about which situations renting would be a good idea.
