Think about how many people sign up for gym memberships and then never use them but keep paying the monthly fee.

Now they'll keep paying that and have a $2k clothes hanger at home.
I will say it's an interesting take on an old business. Furniture and exercise equipment manufacturers have this problem where everybody buys their stuff and they go bankrupt because nobody needs new equipment after the initial purchase. So attaching the subscription business model to this might give them a bit more longevity!
