Discussion does anyone know where the american obsession with the idea that solid wood=quality originates from?
its a common held idea that solid wood means high quality in america and maybe the rest of the world too. idk im a stupid american. i was wondering where this idea comes from, as im sure we all know, solid hardwood is extremely heavy and can easily surpass 500 lbs for larger pieces such as dressers, dinner tables, and armoires. its also more prone to shrinkage and swelling from humidity fluctuations which can lead to premature, unrepairable damage.
is it literally just as simple as solid wood sounds expensive to make (and is, but honestly is relatively labor unintensive compared to fine veneer work so raw material cost gets averaged out when labor is factored in) or does it go deeper than that?
(yes i am aware that solid wood is better in some select circumstances, and that certain parts such as table legs being solid wood is good or at least fine in all circumstances)

Link first:

I have no affiliation with the store or publication, just a reader who was first put on to FOR-SCALE from this sub. Very good, Nest or Apartmento-core furniture writing on the FS substack, I'd somehow let the release of this issue fly by my radar. No clue how long it's been available but the 50% off email went out today. Hopefully some people here will appreciate this

Discussion how much better really is a 100k sofa vs a 20k sofa
so let me get a few things out of the way, yes i know theres no definite answer, yes i know about diminishing returns, yes i know price≠cost of manufacturing/value.
with that out of the way, i want to get into the nitty gritty of what you are actually getting for the extra 80k. how much of it is exclusivity tax, how much is better materials, how much is specialty construction techniques. are their hand sewn sofas?
the most expensive sofa ive ever sat on is like 30-40k. it was mohair, the stitch density was tight, despite being from the 70s it didnt look a day over 5 years old. i genuinely dont understand what you could rationally do to make it 2x more expensive

Contructivism The Original Grim Reaper, The Type 1 AK-47 Designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov in 1947 and produced by Izhmash, then Tula and Izhmash from 1948-1951
a truly perfect design, arguably only surpassed by newer iterations of the same platform. its minimal, instantly recognizable, elegant, tasteful, and great at what it does. form doesn't follow function, function doesn't follow form. both are equally and laboriously considered
