Leases range from 12 months to 36 months. Short-term one-month rentals are also available with monthly renewals. However, you’ll have fewer choices of furniture during shorter leases due to stock availability.

- You can stay worry-free with handy maintenance services and warranty during the lease
One thing to watch for:
Let your consultant be aware of your budget so they can advise how to best utilise it.
Psst… Look out for promotions from June onwards.
