Buying furniture and other appliances which one might not need in the long run can be a cumbersome process. Moreover, if one is short on cash, or shifting homes every few months, renting these movables, seems like a better option.
There are several websites that let one rent beds, tables, sofas, dining table, almirah etc. Some of these platforms own the items, while others act as a middleman.
Given below is a list of five platforms from where one can rent furniture and home appliances:
