A huge rip-off. Go to garage sales, estate sales..etc. You will be far better off.

You should look on craigslist for furniture until you buy your house, I wouldn't rent furn. as they are charging you double what you could pay for new furniture in a regular furniture store. You can go to some rental furniture stores and ask them if they have any cash and carry furn! Some times if ppl don't pay on their stuff it gets repo'd and they can't re rent it, so they have to sell it out right! Good Luck!

No. It's way over priced-you would be further ahead going to Salvation Army or similar and buying really great furniture for cheap. I've done that a couple times. The ladies complain that nothing matches-my answer is always "show me your money, let's go to a furniture store".

save your money - you will pay at least 3x as much as its worth. If your looking to buy new furniture down the road, go with used furniture. People are always selling their stuff for a better price, then the rent to own place.

DONT do it.....HUGE rip off....best place for you is to join the local freecycle group.....its a yahoo group actually....go to www.freecycle.org find the area(s) closest to you. People give stuff away all the time on there. Pretty much everything you can think of has been given away on there. All they as in return is that when you have stuff you're getting rid of is is to put it on there. Also try resale shops like Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. Not only will it be inexpensive, it'll be for a good cause too

you will end up paying way more than the furniture is worth. if you don't want to spend a lot of money you can always go to a discount furniture store and save mor money in the long run.

I've done it... and you can get NEW furniture rent to own... and stretch the lease as long as you want... so GREAT idea if you have the money to spend.. and you can return it when you get a house (I think it's how I got my Stereo speakers (when I was REALLY young)... and it's how I got my washer and dryer.. which I now own).... you can opt to buy them when you get your house if you decide to keep it..

Seems pretty stupid to pay and pay and pay for something that you don't want and aren't going to keep. You will be paying both principle and interest on the stuff.
Go to Salvation Army or Good Will and get some really cheap stuff that you can get rid of easily.

just go to craig's list or your local ad and look for some furniture. I wouldn't buy any right now unless you have the money. If so, then just buy the new furniture.

you'll pay about 2 to 3 times as much by renting than if you just bought.
