Everything seems like it falls into two categories:
- Stuff that will last for 9 months and off-gas for 18 months
- Stuff that costs about as much as a used car
Both take 4 months to be delivered.
I buy used furniture from vintage stores, consignment stores, facebook marketplace, craigslist, estate sales, etc.
It’s the only way to get older stuff (read: better quality) for a decent price.
yeah there was an article about this phenomenon I think posted here at one point, but yeah, all furniture produced these days is shitty quality
Just come out to the country they’re dropping like flies out here
2 estate sales per weekend minimum
Don’t worry, those categories aren’t mutually exclusive, you can have both.
Facebook marketplace: 2 very nice used leather bar stools: 50 USD
Amazon: Shitty coffee table for $30, 2 very comfy lazy boy chairs (way nicer than any couch at this price point, even used ones + moving cost) with ottomans for $120 each, computer desk for $40, Tv stand for $50
Local used office equipment depot: Herman Miller Sayl for $300
Everything has lasted 2 years so far with 0 damage
