Furniture change without confirming with the tenant

Good morning,
We are going to move a new flat this weekend. We rented it fully furnished however furniture is not the same as the ones that were shown us during review. They changed some furniture without confirming with us (apparently worse one) also put extra sofa in the living room which makes the room packed.And we saw it 2 days ago by chance. When we complained about it, the agent reaction was like `this is what it is, you have to accept it because this is landlord`s flat so she can do whatever she likes`.

Now they want us put the furniture to the warehouse, which means extra cost for us or have to live with the furniture that we don`t like and not agreed.

I was wondering if we have rights to argue about it. We thought the landlord should have agreed with us.

Many thanks for your help in advance

    What does the contract say about the furniture provided?

    The inventory will (or should) specify what's there at move-in.

    Now they want us put the furniture to the warehouse, which means extra cost for us or have to live with the furniture that we don`t like and not agreed. - so don't move in
