@Jay Reno if you need a high quality, well designed furniture let me know here or browse our store at Etsy here https://goo.gl/UKwgzG And here www.h-design.pl/?ref=ph we have more than 10 000 items. Good luck with your company!

Love this idea! There might potentially be a group of customers who wanna use this for testing out interior design ideas when moving to a new place.

I think this is awesome but I agree with the general consensus that a lot of this stuff is really expensive. (especially when you consider your competition to be a place like IKEA) Example: the first sofa (not including the love seat) I see when I clicked shop for furniture was 64 dollars a month. That means after a year, I've paid over 600 dollars for just this one piece of furniture. The couch I bought at IKEA for my own home was aprox 450 dollars. This means that its cheaper for me to just scrap my couch when I move than it is for me to have rented it from you. I understand my couch might not be premium like the sofa in the shop is (since it is so kindly labeled premium) but it just feels like you're selling the wrong products to the target audience. I would take a couch that wasn't as nice if it meant saving a tiny bit of money (if any at all) and not having to worry about what I am going to do with my furniture afterward. In fact, the biggest problem this would solve for me if it were affordable is that I won't have to move my stuff when I leave my apartment which is something I dread every time I move. Anyway, great idea and I hope it gets tweaked a little.

Having just moved out of the country and started putting our home together from scratch (on a tight budget, but with somewhat high standards), a service like this would be super interesting. It does seem pricey, unless you're targeting millennials that are making real good money. It seems pricing for companies/startups and for individuals should vary. Really resonate with the concept, and researching/designing this product sounds like a blast. Best of luck to you and your team!

Came across Feather a while back on angel. Would absolutely use it as I try to live an asset-light lifestyle and hate being anchored to things. Congrats and look forward to trying it out!
