Frequently Asked Questions
How do weekly rentals work?
Our props are rented on a weekly basis. The rental period begins on the day of pick-up and continues for seven days plus one additional “grace” day.
For example, if you were to pick up your order on a Monday, your props would be due back on the following Monday. Sunday being the 7th day, Monday would be considered your “grace” day.
If the props are not returned by 3.30 p.m. on the day your order is due, you will be charged for an additional week’s rental.
We are sorry, but we do not offer weekend or one day rental discounts.
Can my production get extended rental discounts?
We offer extended rental discounts to our customers. Extended rental discounts will be applied as follows:
| 1st week | Full price |
| 2nd week | 50% |
| 3rd week | 50% |
| 4th week | Free |
| 5th week | Full price |
| 6th week | 50% |
| 7th week | 50% |
| 8th week | Free |
| 9th week and on | 75% off |
We are happy to discuss pricing for run of show and seasonal rentals.

Appointments are open from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. which you can schedule using our calendar link or call the office on (213) 557-1878 for additional times and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Are all your props online?
As a new prop house, we are currently updating inventory daily with a goal to have our full collection readily available online. In the meantime, if there’s something specific you are looking for, or you have a mood board, feel free to email it over and we’ll email over photos of available options.
Do you offer a custom sourcing service?
Yes. We have nearly two decades of sourcing for commercial photography/motion, private clients, corporate clients and home staging. Please contact us if you are interested in booking a consultation.
Can I put items on hold?
Yes! We will allow you to hold items so long as your account is set up within 24 hours. Holds without an account being set up will be released after 24 hours. If another customer is ready to rent an item that you have on hold, we will contact you to confirm or release the item. If we do not hear back from you within 24 hours, your hold will be released to the next customer.
For same-day pickup confirmations by a 2nd hold client, we will use all available methods to contact the 1st hold client. However, if we are unable to reach you, the item will be released to the 2nd hold client.
We understand that the creative process evolves quickly, and we’re here to support you and your production. This policy ensures we can accommodate as many clients as possible while keeping the process fair and efficient. We appreciate your understanding!

What happens if I cancel an order after confirmation?
Rentals that are confirmed, packed, and then cancelled within 24 hours of pick up are subject to a minimum 25% restocking/handling fee. Cancellations must be made more than 24 hours before our scheduled opening time on the day of pick up.
What happens if my truck is late/ shoot dates have been postponed?
If you are having delays in your production schedule, please don’t hesitate to give us a call and let us know when we may expect you. Any confirmed orders that are not picked up for more than 24 hours without advanced notice are subject to being put back in inventory for other customers to shop. The order will be subject to a minimum 25% restocking charge of the rental amount. We understand changes in your production schedule; please just let us know so we can work with you.
What if we misplace your moving blankets, bins or art/book sleeves?
We provide these materials to help maintain the good condition of our items. All replacement costs are based on the items current purchase price, plus shipping.

How do I close out my account?
All rentals are subject to check in. We will determine if there is any damage or loss as soon as possible. Please have a member of your department contact us to make sure your invoices have been paid in full and that there are no outstanding items or damage. Extended rental charges will accrue on missing items until your rental is closed out and all outstanding items and loss/damage issues are resolved.
What if loss or damage occurs?
If loss of or damage to an item occurs in transit or on set, please contact us immediately. We will assist you to find a substitute, if needed. Doing so also allows us to begin scheduling repair or replacement right away which may result in lower Loss & Damage costs and faster check-in. Additionally, please return all parts and pieces of damaged set dressing to us, even if the item appears to be destroyed.
Can items be taken on "memo"?
We do not allow items to be taken free of charge “on memo”. If you have a need for PD/Director/Client approval we may on a limited basis give a same day discounted day rate (open hours to close). Any rental that goes beyond the allotted time period will be charged at the full weekly rate.
Are your items cleared?
An Item is considered “cleared” where the word “Cleared” appears in the Item’s description.
What happens if the props/set dressing our show rented are never on camera/used?
All items that have left our dock are considered “rented” merchandise and therefore billed accordingly.
