you don't need furniture

don't buy ikea
Looks light weight.
I have a large solid oak table and it's stupid heavy requiring at least 3 people to carry.
The top is out 200 kg and there are two metal legs of about 30kg each.
>So it's a wooden table? Cheap!
>"There is wood in it."
>Well of course, it's a wooden table, right?
>"T-the product is called wood table yes."
>Because it's made of wood, right.
>"Wood is part of its makeup, yes."
>Uhu, I mean you couldn't call it a wooden table if it wasn't made of wood.
>"It's called wood table, sir."
>Wood, wooden, same. And so light. How do you make a full wood table so light?
>"We u-use l-ligh- i mean go light on the w-wood."
>Light wood, huh? How exotic...
>*leans on table*
>*completely crumples it*
mdf is wood. If you don't understand that wood is expensive then you're an idiot
you can get a table for the cost of a cheeseburger, stop b***hing
Yurpoorean desks look like THAT
you wish
my table is made of teak
it weighs a lot but it's sturdier than an american house
capitalism is goo-ACK
Take the industrial-pill. Wood, metal, and poly finish are cheaper than most dogshit modern premade furniture. You can make like half of your furniture yourself and then just hunt for used stuff for the rest.
>hardware
think i'll stick to software
That's IKEA btw
so.. capitalism?
you can be a capitalist and not completely rape your customers with substandard garbage, but in regards to ikea, they make shit like this for less than $5 and are selling it for $50-60 but they claim the reasons for producing such shit are about saving the "environment" by using recycled wood. immense profits selling chinese produced garbage. shit is built to be disposable.
so its a demand problem
stop demanding shit goods
i will never cut a hole in my ikea table and its easier for me to move if my furniture is lighter so i really dont see an issue with this
well they are designed in sweden at least. It's not like they're just buying alibaba shit and reselling it. Besides with ikea you really get what you pay for. If you want good furniture made out of real wood you need to pay up
Why do the customers keep buying it if it's shit? If they want to buy shit, why should I stop them?
>Why do the customers keep buying it if it's shit?
no idea. when you have very little money something like this seems like a bargain compared to the stuff made out of solid wood they sell for over $100. purely economical reasons.
the customers are also shit
So what's the problem then?
The reason Ikea is successful is because $60 is how much people want to pay for a coffee table that they will gently use for 5 years before moving or redecorating, and at the $60 price point Ikea doesn't have any serious competition when it comes to overall durability and style. I built a coffee table from scratch with fir that I bought from a local lumber yard and my material cost was like $300. It also took a lot of fricking time to plane, cut, sand, assemble, stain, and finish. The closest you can get for $60 is using plywood or salvaged wood, and it will probably still cost you $60 and then a frickload more time for something that will probably look worse, assuming you even have the tools and the space to do the work yourself.
Yes, it's possible to buy beautiful hardwood furniture that will last way longer than Ikea shit. It's also quite literally 10x the price (something like Amish Direct will happily sell a coffee table for $600). The average neet, or family, is not going to casually drop $30,000 to fill their house with solid wood furniture.
Even if the table "costs" $5 to make, that's doesn't mean Ikea has a $55 profit margin on each table. They have R&D costs, transport costs, storage costs, warehouse overhead, etc that have to be built into the price. Large and heavy objects like furniture have significantly higher delivery-to-customer costs than intangibles like a digital video game.
I'd rather have solid wood whenever possible, but when that's not reasonable then Ikea's engineered shit is usually the best alternative.
You're mostly right except you can get a far superior coffee table in terms of design and style and build quality by paying maybe $85-100 instead of $60. If you're going to use it for FIVE YEARS, looking at it every day in your house, you'd think having it not be a piece of insulting dog shit would be worth $30. Yet here we are.
Ikea furniture belongs in institutional housing and nowhere else.
>except you can get a far superior coffee table in terms of design and style and build quality by paying maybe $85-100 instead of $60.
factual.
>Ikea furniture belongs in institutional housing and nowhere else.
it belongs in landfill
Post $100 coffee tables that are far superior in design, style, and build quality that can be ordered over the internet.
I'm not a woman so my furniture is strictly utilitarian, I only care about having a table that is slightly sturdier and nicer looking than cardboard boxes with a board laid on top and I want to spend as little as possible on it.
> built a coffee table from scratch with fir that I bought from a local lumber yard and my material cost was like $300
unless you bought power tools as well with that $300 then you either got screwed or you have no idea what you are doing. you must have had "Sucker" tattooed on your fat head that day you walked into the lumber yard. never in my life have i paid $300 for a few pieces of timber. NEVER. lmao.
>It's also quite literally 10x the price (something like Amish Direct will happily sell a coffee table for $600).
no surprise you think it's 10x when you got raped that hard
>They have R&D costs, transport costs, storage costs, warehouse overhead, etc that have to be built into the price.
no fricking shit. really? we had no idea! i thought corporations were working due to the love of helping people!?!
that's awesome - it's why it's light enough to move around
Wtf israeli carpenters?
