What customers are saying
Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Knoxville.
These guys were awesome! Very professional and funny! They delivered my couch, set it up and everything for us! I would totally recommend Smart Way to everyone! I'm very pleased with the whole experience! Thanks Jay y'all were amazing!!!
A Sanctuary for the Home: My SmartWay Knoxville Experience. Five stars. Five gleaming, well-deserved stars. That's not just a rating for SmartWay Knoxville; it's a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the exceptional service, genuine understanding, and sheer humanity I encountered within their showroom. In a world often dominated by impersonal online giants, SmartWay stands as a refreshing reminder of the value of personalized attention and genuine care. They're not just selling furniture, appliances, and electronics; they're building relationships and creating homes. Let me be clear: I wasn't just looking for a bedroom suite. I was facing a complex situation, one that had left me feeling overwhelmed and let down by other retailers. My circumstances wereโฆ challenging, to say the least. Everywhere I turned, I was met with polite but firm refusals. "We can't help you," they'd say, the words echoing the growing despair in my heart. I was beginning to lose hope of furnishing my new home. Then, I walked into SmartWay. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warmth that felt utterly genuine. The atmosphere wasn't just professional; it was welcoming. It was human. I wasn't just a customer or a sales quota; I was a person with a story, and the team at SmartWay listened. They really listened. I sat down and explained my predicament. Instead of the dismissive glances and boilerplate rejections I'd become accustomed to, I was met with understanding and empathy. They didn't just hear my words; they seemed to grasp the weight of my situation. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary. The SmartWay team didn't just try to sell me the most expensive items; they became my advocates. They meticulously explored every option, tirelessly working behind the scenes to find a solution that fit my unique needs and budget. They navigated the complexities of financing and delivery with a skill and patience that bordered on miraculous. They treated me with respect and dignity, even when other stores had treated me like a burden. And they succeeded. Against all odds, they found a way. They offered financing that I never thought possible, and they helped me find the perfect bedroom suite, complete with a queen pillow-top mattress, that met my needs and my budget. I left with a renewed sense of hope and gratitude. SmartWay Knoxville isn't just a furniture, appliance, and electronics store; it's a testament to the power of human connection and genuine caring. They didn't just sell me products; they helped me create a home. They reminded me that there are still businesses that prioritize people over profit, and that compassion and hard work can truly make a difference. If you're looking to furnish or upgrade your home, and especially if you've faced challenges elsewhere, I implore you: go to SmartWay Knoxville. Give them a chance. They didn't just earn my business; they earned my unwavering loyalty and my deepest respect. They are, in a word, exceptional. They are SmartWay.
It was very easy during the approval process. Also the delivery gentleman was extremely nice and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend doing business with this company.

Shopping for rent-to-own in Knoxville
Getting the best deal on rent-to-own takes a little preparation. Here are tips to help you make an informed decision at any of the 7 stores in Knoxville.
Compare stores side by side
Use the comparison table above to compare stores side by side, rated by customers, with products and contact info in one view.
Ask about early purchase options
Every rent-to-own agreement should include an early purchase option (EPO). Ask the store how much you can save by buying the item outright before the full lease term ends. The earlier you buy, the more you save.
Check store hours before you go
Hours can vary by location and may change on holidays. Call ahead or check the store listings above to confirm the store is open before making the trip. Many stores close earlier on weekends.
Read reviews from other customers
Customer reviews can reveal important details about service quality, delivery experience, and staff helpfulness. Check ratings on each store listing and click through for detailed reviews.
Estimate your total cost
Use the VRTO calculator to estimate your total rent-to-own cost before you visit. Knowing the full cost upfront helps you compare options and budget effectively.
Know your rights
Rent-to-own is generally structured as a lease with an option to own. Return rights and obligations vary by agreement and state. Tennessee has consumer protection laws governing RTO transactions. Ask the store for a copy of your agreement before signing.
What Tennessee law gives you before you sign
Tennessee regulates rent-to-own under Tennessee Rental-Purchase Agreement Act, and the rules are the same at every store in the state. Before you sign, the store has to put the cash price, the total cost to own the item, and the number of payments in front of you, so the real number is never buried in the fine print. Rent-to-own is a lease and not a loan, so there is no interest rate, and returning the item does not go on your credit.
This is a plain summary, not legal advice. Read your own agreement and confirm the terms with the store.
