One thing that's not mentioned anywhere in this article is that a lot of that super-solid, heirloom-quality furniture is still around -- and people are very willing to buy secondhand!
Facebook Marketplace/Craigslist/estate sales are a goldmine for stuff like this. This is only gonna be more true as the baby boomers continue to age. I wonder how much that impacts the market for the new stuff.
- fallinghawks 3y agoI like art deco and when I finally became a homeowner in 2008 I spent a couple years replacing the stuff I'd had since college. Craigslist got me an expandable dining table, a mahogany record cabinet with ancient player (made by Motorola!), a credenza, an armoire, a cedar blanket chest, and a china cabinet. Everything was $100-$350 each and a total of about $1350 for all. Solid wood, beautiful inlay work, and will outlast me.
