I bought one piece of real furniture and the only reason we could afford it was because it was made by a dude as his hobby and he was selling practically for cost. And even then I had to really commit that I wanted that walnut dresser. Internals are still MDF btw.

Yeah the prices here are all out of wack. I'd love to buy nice, long lasting furniture. Please tell me where I can get a couch that will last generations for $500? I have some hand me down furniture that's good quality and even in it's day it was.a significant investment. My dining room table cost ~$1200 when it was brand new. If I didn't have that I'd be using some $150 pressboard garbage from target or Ikea because that's all I can reasonably afford
