Why would you like to use the same table for decades?
In 10 years time you will see a nicer, more modern table that you could buy.
It is similar to phones, you could use old dumbphone for 10 years (I still have mine somewhere and use it when I send my smartwatch for repairs), but majority of people don't want to.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoThis obsession with newer, nicer and pristine - it has to be clean, scratchless, beautiful - is what's killing the habitability of our planet right now. And it's in a large part driven by marketing. The argument makes some sense for phones, which are fast-evolving hardware. Typical house furniture is a mature design.
- fogihujy 6y agoThe irony in it all is that there are businesses specializing in new furniture that looks old and worn because people like the look. But nobody seems to be interested re-using an existing piece of furniture.
- chrisseaton 6y agoThis is crazy. What does a more modern table do that an older one doesn't? Buy timeless styling and keep forever.
- krzyk 6y agoThere is no such thing as timeless styling. Styling is like UX, some prefer simple others prefer elaborate.
