According to the National Retail Federation, college students are now spending nearly double the amount they did a decade ago on dorm furnishings. This year, spending has hit $87 billion, equating to an average of $1,365 per student.  This trend reflects a growing desire for personalized, comfortable living spaces that resemble home, moving away from the standard budget setup students once used.

Our prices are extremely competitive and include all of the conveniences that you don't get when trying to plan and self transport.
