First in what might become a series around here, the case against convenience furniture. Let’s kick off with the one I think gets defaulted to most, storage.
Now, not all flat pack is a crime, there's well made pieces in that style too, but this is more about combating the cheap stuff that's already leaning by month three.
We’ve all clocked fast fashion by now. Fast furniture’s the same story, and I’ve been noticing it everywhere lately between the big yellow shed, and doom scrolling to find UGC promos popping up my feed, I’ve been moved to indulge in some counter culture.
As you may have gathered i’m here for the pieces that have already proven the test. And hopefully if you’re here already, you’re into that too. There’s always plenty of good pieces in rotation, they just take a bit more consideration, and often a friend to help relocate them.
A few links from the collages above to browse below, OR subscribe for the full set.
Also, don’t forget to jump into the chat, I did a big listing dump last night while I was putting this together, way more than made the cut here.
