What Customers Are Saying

Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Ottumwa.

Arona was the place to go when I lost everything due to a divorce. I was attracted to Arona after visiting the "other " rent to own company. It was the reception I received upon entering the store for the first time. The sales associate was welcoming and friendly...not fake or pushy. The sales associate was polite and knowledgeable. Everything was completely explained to me, the information about the products I selected coupled with the outstanding and flexible payment options. I would highly recommend Arona to friends and family who need furniture and other household items... Delivery, setup, and any repairs needed are absolutely free of charge ... No hassles just excellence on every level ✨️
