My wife and I were looking for a dining room table to rent for Thanksgiving. Our house has a dining room that goes largely unused, as its just the two of us and we eat in the kitchen. However, we were having a large party for Thanksgiving and wanted to make sure that everyone had a place to sit, but just for that day, hence the need for a table rental.
She found a great listing on Rent a Center: a perfect table for $24/week. Perfect!
Then we saw the fine print: You couldn't rent anything for less than three months, and late fees were SUPER high.
We would have needed to spend at least $360 to rent this table, which makes no sense!
The kicker? This table was a $500 table.
I feel bad for people that have no choice but to rent furniture.
