Many new homeowners and apartment dwellers come across the problem of needing furniture but can't afford anything without skipping out on their mortgage payments. While that's not a recommended route, there are other options you can consider before resorting to cardboard boxes and bean bags. My suggestion is to start looking at the many possibilities that ready to assemble (RTA) furniture has to offer. Affordable and easy to assemble, hence the name, RTA furniture features a wide variety of styles and offers the financial flexibility that most homeowners wouldn't be able to find with traditional or high end furniture.
Some consumers believe that since RTA furniture is affordable it must mean that the quality is of a lower standard. Not necessarily, if you consider the fact that breaking a high end dining table in half takes the same amount of effort for breaking an RTA dining table the same way. Assuming you wouldn't go out of the way to do that, RTA furniture is indeed quite durable. Especially popular with the do-it-yourself crowd, assembling these pieces of furniture can be fun and oftentimes easy. Some pieces don't require hardware, but for the latter hardware and tools are usually included. However there are some cases where you'll be missing a screw or bolt here and there, in which case a quick call or stop to your local hardware store is in order.
Another great benefit from purchasing RTA furniture is that it's easy to transport, reassemble and disassemble when needed. Because it's ready to assemble whenever you're ready, all your furniture pieces can be laid down flat, compared to lugging around larger pieces of furniture around in a truck or moving van where it can get easily damaged. Which brings up another good point: if you intend to order RTA furniture online, you won't have to worry too much about any shipping damages because your furniture will be shipped to you knocked down in a flat case.
So if you're the type of person who happens to move around a lot, or are just on a budget, ready to assemble furniture may be an option for you. And as long as you take proper care of it (i.e. you don't perform any balancing acts with ANY of your furniture, RTA or not), then it'll last you a good while.
