"The rental market is booming. Since April, the founders Laura Seiler and Nadine Deuring have been offering sofas, side tables and chests of drawers for rent, delivery as well as assembly and disassembly included.

Soon IKEA will "no longer just sell cabinets and chairs but also rent them. A small startup from Berlin was faster."

"For the typical rental customer, a purchase is not worthwhile because he or she is in one place for a much shorter period of time. Others want to try out new trends in their homes, but don't want to spend a fortune."

"If hardly anyone (2%) has rented furniture privately so far, 48% can imagine this in the future. That and more was the result of a study by Connox and Lyght Living."
