It’s Not Just Wayfair: Why Does ALL Of Your Furniture Fall Apart?
Interesting commentary on what happened to the furniture industry in the United States.
A little rough around the details (pine is not a hardwood, and MDF and chipboard are just as heavy as wood), but yeah, generally this is spot on.
I will say that just at a design level, a single-pillar end table is never going to handle the sledgehammer test very well compared to a four-legged design, but once you’re through the initial clickbait moment, that old Ethan Allen piece is very much better made.
