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.

One thing for sure, is way easier to carry

Confirmation bias: all the shite furniture from 1800s has rotted to dust already

Edit for full disclosure: I’ve exclusively bought antique furniture. I’m basically a shill for big-auction
