    If cheap furniture made by compressing glue and sawdust together existed 100 years ago, I bet it would have sold well.

    Same goes for shoes. Everyone’s wearing terrible plastic stuff nowadays.

      My grandparents deliberately saved up for the expensive oak furniture. It was meant to last the rest of their lives (which it did). They had a different mindset than me and you who want something nice looking that doesn’t burden the bank account too much

        That and I didn’t want to buy solid oak furniture when I lived in apartments and had to move on a dime because the landlord wanted to jack up rent or pull something… Again.
