Goat - most of the furniture rental places (Aarons, Rent to own etc.) are located in low income areas - for a reason. They prey on those with little or no $$ and worse credit and charge exorbitant amounts of interest to a marked up price.
Many here have found some great stuff at Bargains &Treasures. One reason is (and I am guilty of this), we brings furniture from "home" that just doesn't fit to the home here. So I sold a gorgeous chair for a steal.
You can also buy reasonably priced new furniture at LLBean or IKEA. I know one person on this forum (soon to be a frog), bought the bedroom set they wanted from Southern Lifestyles. Then they moved some of their "home" furniture - including some comfy outdoor chairs to use int he LR - and just gradually added.
