Reasons why we don't recommend renting office furniture

2025-09-30

Last year, I heard from a colleague that there was an office furniture rental business in Nanshan District, Shenzhen. He immediately panicked, fearing that office furniture would be difficult to sell. However, I believe that while office furniture rentals are available, Shenzhen Office Furniture's products can still meet the needs of different levels. Unless a company or team does not need a fixed office location and only operates for a period of time, it is possible to rent office furniture. However, I do not recommend renting office furniture for those who need office furniture long-term.

1. Quality of rental office furniture

First of all, rented furniture may not necessarily be suitable for use in your company's office; secondly, rented furniture must have been used by many companies, and its quality is difficult to guarantee; finally, environmental protection and hygiene are also big issues, and whether it has been disinfected and whether it can guarantee the health of current users are worth considering. If the office furniture is purchased by your own company, you don’t have to worry about these problems, and there is a certain brand quality guarantee and after-sales service. At least it is a new product, so the quality will be much more reassuring and there are no hidden dangers.

2. Office furniture rental prices

Many people believe that renting office furniture is cheaper, but the reality is that, in addition to the basic rental and deposit, there are a host of other expenses, such as shipping, installation, maintenance, even repairs, and damage compensation, which can lead to higher costs for the company. Shenzhen office furniture manufacturers offer free services for shipping, installation, and even interior design, and they also save on after-sales repair costs. If you don't think you'll be using the furniture for long, you can sell it when you're done, which can help you recoup some of the costs.
