Same here! Solid wood furniture, despite being more expensive and considerably heavier, is just so much nicer. You can cut into them to modify them, you can sand them down and refinish them, and they don't turn to scrap as soon as someone dings it or god forbid you tighten a screw too hard.. An extra component to the whole thing is fire safety. Compared to proper wood furniture these fiber- and cardboard pieces are much more flammable. It's to the point where fire departments are considering new guidelines for leaving burning buildings because the time to raging fire has been shortened so much by modern furniture and fabrics.
