Residential Furniture Rental

Postby RLPolo » Mon Sep 21, 2009 7:02 am

Does anybody know of any companies/stores that rent furniture for homes? Looking for beds, sofas, tables, etc for an empty home. Even looking for lamps, paintings, accessories as well. Hoping to find stuff that is more traditional American. Doesn't matter if Puxi or Pudong, will travel to find what we need. THX...

Never heard of such services. Furniture can be bought cheaply in China... so I don't think anyone would operate a rental business...

Yes, ditto that comment by jasonnoguchi. It would not be deemed a profitable busineess here. Vast majority of rented properties have furniture provided. If the property is great and the furniture on the YUKKY side of taste then we often ask the landlord if they can replace it or move it out and the tenants buy their own. It all depends on the negotiating skills of the agent and whether the deal will be worth the landlord's while. We have done it a few times........with reluctant but finally obliging landlords I might add.

Cao Jia Du on Channing Rd nr Zhong Shan Park have some of the cheapest furnishings and good bargain prices. There is a guy in there that makes Bo-Concept furniture very cheaply. (modern European styled) Furniture vendors in Wending Rd and Yi Shan Rd are still quite reasonable. There's also a furniture mall in Aomen Rd that has the local version of IKEA (can't recall the name). You can get your household decor there as well if you are on a tight budget.

I wonder if anyone know of any new Furniture Rental Services in Shanghai nowadays? I know I heard of one last year but can not locate their details.

Many thanks!!
