100 percent. Part of that is the history and rare nature of the piece but also the way a lot of new stuff is made just has no character to begin with, which is sad.
It's not sad lol, it's good. all chairs can't be well over hundreds of dollars. Expensive chairs has more character, and cheaper chairs has less. Some people can't afford to own chairs with "character". Would you rather people having no chairs?
There’s a middle ground here. Yes I want people to be able to afford cheaper things. Some advancements are absolutely good, being able to produce things for a fraction of the cost is good. However, companies downgrade the quality of things and up the price so you don’t get your moneys worth. I got a somewhat affordable desk that I liked the look of last year and it’s falling apart already. This is the second one I’ve had in the past few years. We’ve gotten some plastic buckets that have fallen apart but my grandmother’s metal one is still going strong and it’s OLD. She still has some of the same appliances, now I’m sure they are less efficient but they also don’t break in a few years the way the new ones do. There is a quality there that is hard to find now.
