Quality v Cheap
Not sure if this is appropriate for this blog entry, but here is a quote from Ellen R Shell author of "Cheap: the High Cost of Discount Culture".
"when you see something and you're motivated by price — and we all are — you walk away. Take a walk around the store and think about it. Freud said there are two parts of our thinking system. The primary process is the impulsive, playful, I've-gotta-have-it-now side. The second is the more thoughtful, contemplative side. Get that secondary process going. Think about why you want this object — this particular MP3 player, this particular screwdriver. Is this really going to do the job for you?"
When buying furniture, think about what you're spending. Do you want to buy something that will be damaged by rearranging a room or going through a move? or do you want furniture that can be in your family for generations? I can't tell you how much furniture I've left behind during my 10 moves in the last 15 years. We now own mostly real wood furniture from Wood You or made before 1970 & handed down from older family members. I'll never buy anything not made of real wood again, it's not worth the price long term.
