I’m not a very good woodworker but I enjoy it. I’ve got a few wobbly pieces of furniture around the house. I love them! I’ve also got a bookcase my dad made back when he was in shop class. And my mom has been using a cutting board I made her for the last 20 years. I’m also a bad potter but love drinking out of the mugs I made and eating out of the bowls I made. I love the artwork my friends and family have made even if they’re not super talented. It’s up on the walls. IKEA stuff is fine. I have some, but I don’t feel much emotion around it. It gets the job done and not much more. (Though in my experience it’s not very sturdy and falls apart faster than handmade stuff.) I would also add that back in the day there were a lot more craftsmen making high quality furniture for purchase. A lot of them have been driven out of business and so now buying that type of thing is much more expensive.
