    I've been moving and repairing the same shitty Ikea bookcases for 23 years. People are like, they are so cheap you could just buy more. Nope. They are so cheap YOU could buy more. I am poor enough to not be able to do that and i grew up in a city riddled with bedbugs so thrifting that stuff is dicey. My favourite piece of furniture I own is my grandfather's desk from the depression era. It's fake oak from when they painted the oak grain on by hand for the cheap stuff. I expect it is the equivalent of Temu from 1934. Fine by me.
