    Furniture rental services are the devil’s work, it really is.

    Semi-related, my family had rented furniture before. We had rented like this bedroom set and a wardrobe. It’s ludicrous to be into doing that. That’s why I thrift for furniture. Will I ever come across a PS5 thrifting? Probably never, not unless it’s just the shell of the console itself but even then someone will take it.

      Only use-case I’ve had for rental was when I was at a military school for five months. My roommate and I needed a TV in our barracks room, but there wasn’t much point in buying a TV (each of us had TVs back home), so we rented one for five months. It was great. One of us also bought a Wii (dating myself here), so it was a great time.

      That’s about the only case I can think of renting furniture/appliances. If you are temporarily someplace and can’t thrift an item at a reasonable price.
