The world of furniture hire is booming. This is because event professionals understand that they should rent furniture instead of buying it. Whilst buying furniture on the face of it might seem like a good idea, there are a number of reasons why furniture rental will always come out on top.
For weddings, corporate events, trade shows, gala dinners and so on, whilst the type of furniture that you hire might be the same each year, check out the reasons below that we’d always recommend hiring furniture rather than buying it.
Tastes and trends change. If something is in-vogue one year, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be the next. And you want your event to be modern, contemporary and forward-thinking, right? Let furniture rental companies take on the headache of renewing their furniture hire stocks each year, whilst you can simply sit back and browse at your heart’s content, choosing the best furniture that is going to suit your specific style of event. Whether it’s chair hire, table hire or even lounge furniture hire, there’s no doubt that furniture rental companies will be able to offer you the full and complete range of event furniture rental for any occasion, in both modern and classic styles.
Let’s face it, all you need you to do is browse a website and place your order, or give your furniture hire company of choice a quick call to place your order. You don’t have to find manufacturers in the Far East, or importers or wholesalers here in the UK. Take all the hassle out of things and rent furniture instead of buying it.
Let’s have a think about if you were to buy 500 chairs for your annual event. Each year they get a little bit more worn, scratched and damaged. So, after a period of a few years, your initial investment of thousands of pounds is looking even less attractive than it was originally. Do you recover the chairs? Or do you try to sell the chairs on to try and recoup some of your investment? And how would you even start to try and sell 500 chairs of a certain style and condition? Again, this is another reason to rent event furniture rather than buy it. Who has the time for all this?
Again, let’s take the example of the 500 chairs that you use once a year, or even twice or three times a year. Where are you going to store the chairs? Storage space today is not cheap, especially in London and the South East. This, most definitely, has a cost implication for you, so have you factored in this cost to your calculations? Rent furniture certainly makes sense from this perspective of chair hire.
When we say no risk, we really do mean it. It’s simply a case of choosing what rental furniture for events you want, placing your order and then sitting back, safe in the comfort that it will all be taken care of efficiently and effectively by your furniture rental company.
And last, but by no means least, renting event furniture is always going to be the cheaper option. You can hire a chair for around £5 each, and a table for around the same price. It really is very affordable. Of course, if you need to rent furniture in large quantities, then the investment becomes a lot more, but bigger events mean more people, and more revenue! Only rent furniture that you need – don’t over-order or, indeed, under-order.
