On the notion of lack of durability, I have come across a substantial number of people for whom that is a feature: change your furniture every 2/5 years to "keep it fresh", where spending money on anything durable wouldn't make any sense.
Note: definitely not my hobby, and I'm not going to consider waste and other impacts. So please, don't pitchfork.
- dfxm12 2y agoI don't understand how lack of durability is a feature for people who want to "keep it fresh". After all, one can still replace a perfectly usable table. It seems to hinge on this, but inexpensive doesn't imply a lack of durability. A sibling thread has many examples of durable Ikea products. Additionally, if cost is an issue, one can defray the cost of a fresh new table by selling their current perfectly usable table via a secondhand marketplace vs throwing out a broken one.
