You can get great furniture today that is made from stain grade hardwood and uses high quality fabrics. But it’s expensive. It always has been. Quality, heirloom furniture was never the domain of regular people. It’s through mass production and engineered materials everyone has couches, tables, chairs, shelves, dressers, etc. You want nice counter height chairs made of five hardwood and leather and joint work instead of screws? You’re looking at $1000/chair at the bottom and can go way up from there. Most people aren’t spending $4k on chairs for a kitchen island. This is where the cheaper mid market comes in where you get 4 chairs for $1k and they’re fine. Just not jointed or if the better wood or nicer seat, etc.
