Mom with the real questions
I really don’t like how it’s so common nowadays for furniture to not even outlive one person. It became fashion thanks to IKEA. Fuck IKEA.
I mean, if you buy flat pack stuff, that’s what you get. You can still buy quality bespoke furniture made by skilled people.
Not as easily anymore. It used to be easy to find wooden furniture used for low prices. Not so much anymore.
The market has shrunk and the prices have gone up… there are still some good items on the second hand market, at times, depending on location.
