Yeah the prices here are all out of wack. I'd love to buy nice, long lasting furniture. Please tell me where I can get a couch that will last generations for $500? I have some hand me down furniture that's good quality and even in it's day it was.a significant investment. My dining room table cost ~$1200 when it was brand new. If I didn't have that I'd be using some $150 pressboard garbage from target or Ikea because that's all I can reasonably afford
