A lot of students end up moving places due to 1) lease change 2) internships. Might be useful to them.
However, the pricing is insanely expensive. 3 month rental for a dresser is $210; same for a AC unit. You can buy new ones for the same price.

True, then again, established furniture rental firms [0] target them; what's Feather's distinct advantage here?

I agree that furniture rental is a slightly weird value prop though. People lease cars because most folks don't want to outlay $35-100k for a depreciating asset, or they want to change models so frequently that buying becomes unwieldy. Furniture is not nearly as expensive, however, and the rent-to-buy ratios are far less favorable.
Next, the type of people that move often are younger and poorer, and the extra schlepping and assembling are not as big of a problem to them.
