Temporary Furniture: Why Buying Doesn't Suit It?

Introduction: The Story of "Sami" and the Chair That Lived Alone

Sami's story began when he moved to work in Riyadh with a temporary contract for only 6 months. Sami wanted to feel stable and comfortable in his new home, so he decided to go to the big furniture stores and buy everything new and shiny: a luxurious and comfortable sofa set, a wide dining table, a comfortable office desk for working from home, and even a massage chair to relax after long work hours.

Sami paid a large amount of approximately 15,000 riyals, and was very happy at first with his new home that was now equipped with the finest furniture. He felt he had invested in his comfort and happiness.

After exactly 6 months, the work contract ended and Sami had to return to his original city. Here the real shock began! The cost of dismantling and moving the furniture from Riyadh to his city was very high, approximately 3,000 riyals. And when he tried to sell the furniture quickly before traveling, he discovered that its value had dropped more than 50% from the price he paid. Nobody was willing to pay more than 7,000 riyals for the complete set.

Sami ended up leaving all his belongings in a rented storage unit for 300 riyals monthly, and they became just neglected items gathering dust and costing him money every month without any benefit. Every time he remembered the matter, he felt regret about the decision he made.

Sami's painful story repeats every day with many people in all cities of the Kingdom, and the main reason is falling into the trap of "buying for temporary use." Many people don't think about the smart alternatives available today.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll save you from Sami's painful experience, and show you why furniture rental is the smartest and most economical decision for your budget and your home space, and how you can live the luxury you want with one click through Estajer platform.

1. The Financial Trap: Why Do We Rush to Buy Temporary Furniture?

The first reason is always the strong desire for "ownership." We feel secure and reassured when things are completely ours. This is a natural feeling that exists in everyone. But from a financial and practical perspective, buying temporary furniture for a simple or short period is a clear and obvious waste of cash flow that you have.

Furniture, as soon as it leaves the showroom or store and arrives at your home, loses a large part of its market value. This is a known and tested economic law. The piece you bought for 2,000 riyals, if you sell it after a week, you won't find anyone who pays more than 1,200 riyals for it at best.

If you bought a desk and chairs for a small project or temporary work lasting 3 or 6 months, you've frozen a large amount of cash that could have developed your work or gone into savings or investment that benefits you.

In Saudi Arabia now, the general direction has become toward "smart benefit," meaning you use the best and newest types of furniture when you need them only, then return them. And this is the real intelligence that furniture rental service provides you through specialized and reliable platforms like Estajer platform.

Smart idea that saves you thousands of riyals: Before you pay 10 or 15 thousand riyals to buy furniture for a guest room or home office or temporary lounge, enter [Estajer platform] and see with your own eyes exactly how much it costs to rent the same items. You'll be shocked when you discover that you can save more than 80% or even 90% of your complete budget.

2. 4 Clear Signs Telling You That Buying Furniture Now is an Unwise Decision

When exactly should you say "no" to buying and seriously think about renting? Let's clarify the signs for you:

First Sign: If Your Need Duration is Less Than a Full Year

Buying furniture for a period of 6 months or 9 months is a financially losing decision significantly because of what's called "rapid depreciation." Furniture loses its value quickly, and you'll lose a lot of money when you try to sell it later.

Second Sign: If Your Space is Tight

Why buy large pieces and crowd your home or apartment with items you won't use permanently? Crowding causes psychological distress and makes you feel the place is too small for you. Smart renting lets you take the item only when needed, and return it when you're done, and let your home breathe and be comfortable and organized.

Third Sign: If Technology or Models are Changing Quickly

Like smart massage chairs or advanced smart furniture, every short period a newer and better model comes out with new features. If you buy, you'll find yourself after a year with an old model and you want the new one. Renting guarantees you always use the newest and best available models.

Fourth Sign: If Your Budget Has Other More Important Priorities

Saving cash for family trips or investing in a small project or even saving for the future, are all much more important than freezing your money in wooden pieces or fabrics that will become neglected items after a short period and lose their value.

3. Hidden Ownership Cost: What's Behind the Invoice Price You See

If you buy furniture from any store, you don't only pay the price written on the tag or invoice. There are many other expenses you don't notice at first, but they cost you a lot of money:

Transportation, Installation, and Dismantling Cost

Transportation from the store to your home usually costs from 200 to 500 riyals depending on distance and quantity. Installation costs you an additional amount. And if you need to move the items to another place, you pay again. All these are additional expenses that increase the total cost.

Continuous Maintenance and Cleaning Cost

Professional fabric cleaning, fixing scratches and small breaks, polishing wood, all these things need money, time, and effort. Over time, costs accumulate and become large amounts.

Space Cost That Items Take

Furniture you don't use permanently takes expensive space from your home. Space in homes and apartments has real financial value, and you pay rent or installment on it. Using it for neglected items is a clear loss.

While on Estajer platform, the matter is completely different. You receive the items clean, inspected, and ready to use, and they arrive at your door without trouble. And when you finish with them and the period ends, the supplier comes to take them back. You've thus crossed out all the "worry" of maintenance, storage, and cleaning from your life permanently.

4. Clear and Comprehensive Comparison: Buying vs. Renting

Let's clarify the difference with a practical and realistic example. If you decide to set up a small home office for working from home:

7. Environmental Sustainability: How Do You Serve Your Country with the "Non-Purchase" Decision?

Every piece of furniture we buy and use for a short period then throw away or leave as neglected items in the storage is a clear consumption of rare natural resources and great and costly manufacturing effort.

The modern sharing economy is the correct ethical and environmental solution; when you share items with other people, we collectively reduce the great need to produce huge quantities of new furniture, and we preserve our dear Kingdom's environment and precious resources, and this is exactly the core and essence of Vision 2030 to build a vibrant and sustainable society for future generations.

Every time you rent instead of buy, you contribute to reducing waste and protecting the environment. This is your national and ethical role toward your country.

Conclusion: Invest in Your Experience, Not in Items That Crowd Your Space

In the end, the smart renting decision is a clear decision for complete freedom. Freedom from debts and installments, freedom from space constraint and crowding, and complete freedom in enjoying the most beautiful and newest types of furniture available in the market without any long or costly commitments.

Don't be like Sami and fill your home with many neglected items you'll regret later and lose a lot of money on. Live real luxury with clear financial intelligence, save your budget for things that truly deserve it, and always be smart and agile with Estajer platform.
