The fact is, really good furniture costs a lot of money. We have had to experience this several times. Let's take a TV lowboard. At first, we thought, because it is available thousands of times online, "ok, we should find something for 250-300€." Now we don't like buying furniture online. We want to touch and try it out. So off to the usual furniture stores and give it a go. We had to realize that for that money there is only junk. Cheap veneer that will probably chip off soon, cheap hinges, etc. A new purchase is programmed after a few years. Ok, reluctantly increased the budget to about 400-600€. The result? Exactly the same. All crap. Seriously. We were totally frustrated. Then we put the budget aside and looked at what is available that is high-quality/durable and(!) we like. There we found something. Unfortunately for 1,500€... Long hesitated. Long weighed. Then bought. One of the best purchases we have made in recent years. The design is timeless, will still please us in years to come. And it is really high-quality. We have had the lowboard now for about 7 years and it is like on the first day. Edit: checked again, it was 1,800€.
