Rental funiture

Remember I told you about our shipment from US??
We were informed that we will be getting our stuff about 15 days earlier and this was a big mood lifter for us. However, there was still about 1 month to go without furniture.
We decided on renting some basic furniture. This is one good thing about the Post-2000 India. You can rent furniture and appliances very easily.
But, if you are even the slightest cost conscious, then please be ready to compromise big time.
The furniture was not great but bearable. And we told ourselves- this is india and c'mon, we have to manage for just 1 month.
The rented furniture arrived and the porters damaged a few edges of out newly painted house.
This was not pleasant for sure.

The couch had all its jute peeping out from the cloth. The dining table had chipped edged and topped which gave us a few bruises also.
We covered up the table with a table linen and the couch with bed sheets.
The sheets didn't help much and we decided to be Indian in India and to sit on the floor or plastic chairs.
