>>721022550My grandpa left me a ugly wood table made of tree trunks. It weighs half a ton, would probably survive the end of the world, is ugly as sin, and moving it takes 8 people working together - with mechanical help.Thanks grandpa
the one on the left isn't hard to maintain, it's hard as fuck to move. that's the kind of shit where even if you call 5 people and bribe them with a dinner out you just give up because you can't even pick that fucker up without it turning into a chinese live leak video.

>>721023174I'm throwing your shit in the trash grandpa
Furniture? In this economy!?
>>721022550the really sad part is the person in the image somehow destroyed the beautiful furniture he got from his grandparents
>>721023268i assume the maintaining would be dusting it. all those nooks and crannys over time would have tons of dust buildup and would make it look ugly due to the color contrastalso prolly keeping it out fo any kind of direct sunlight so it doesnt get sunfaded ruining its look
>>721022865>hard to maintain upkeepYou don't need to do shit with antique furniture.Meanwhile Ikea crap starts bowing and deteriorating if you put anything that weighs more than 5lbs on top of it.
>>721023576if you actually had kids they would toss your video games to the trash bin.Also since you don't have any kids nor will ever reproduce, somebody else is gonna do the same shit. Maybe sell one that is valuable, but trash the rest.Cope.
i dislike the cardboard furniture with a plastic shell very much. nothing is more low quality slave-caste than that garbo. it's not even peasant-tier since even that lot had proper wood furniture
>>721022865False dichotomyLeft probably weighs a ton and is no more functional for all of it's opulenceA nicely formed structure you can paint would be preferable

>>721023818Nah I've been using the ikea countertop on top of drawer setup for years now and it works just fine. A normal 80 inch desk would have cost me an arm and a leg.

>>721024398Do you or anyone you know have a house that looks like this?
>>721024398>take sooooooooooo much effort to clean!The sad thing is that back then, even working class people had enough time to keep everything clean. A family could be easily supported by one income, so the mother could spend some time cleaning herself even if they didn't have a servant. Nowadays nobody has time for anything because everyone's a wageslave being milked for every possible nanosecond of available time, even by entertainment and ads

>>721024443I heard about this shit. There was some statistic I saw that there was an uptick starting in the early 80s in how deadly home fires were and how prevalent they were due to material builds being made from cheaper, chink made products.
>>721024593what's wrong with onions and drinking mik?
>>721024673Newfag doesn't know there are word censors still happening around here.
>>721022865That furniture is older than your country and will be fine after it collapses. You soulless Ikea shit won't last a decade.
>>721024423Back then, the china cabinet was cheap and the china was seen as valuable. Now the china is worthless but the hardwood materials for the china cabinet alone costs hundreds. Which is why furniture is made of compressed dust and plastic now.
living on a big house and having old furniture as well as giant chandeliers I can say fuck all this I rather have simple furniture, cleaning is a nightmare

I'm positive I'm living in The Truman Show. I browse this shithole every day for the last nearly 20 years and yet now that I'm getting into woodworking does this shit get posted on fucking /v/ of all places. I want off this ride.
>>721022550yeah but grandad only left 1 VHS of a slightly hairy and overweight women flopping around on a water mattress, whereas my grandkids will discover 2Tb of the finest JAV, properly tagged and organized.
>>721024443>were stuck with this shit because neoliberal economics says corporate bottomline matters above all else and it eats into costsfuck this gay society
>>721023268Yeah that's the thing. Hardwood furniture is nice until you have to move it two feet over and then they become torture devices.That said I wish there were a middle ground between getting an 800 pound night stand or getting ikea cardboard furniture.
>>721025028You tend to notice things you're acclimatized to, yeah. Stuff you're interested in suddenly start becoming very noticeable John.
>>7210252241. I'm a tall, strong man. Moving heavy things is easy.2. I don't rearrange my house every season.I put an enormously framed mirror on one of my walls, planning around how I was going to keep it nailed and supported on that wall, and it hasn't moved in 10 years. I like it.
>>721022550>Portal to HellWish my Grandpa was Diablo.
>>721024803A fine comparison.
>>721025479>1. I'm a tall, strong man. Moving heavy things is easy.It's not if it literally weighs half a ton. Hardwood furnitures, real hardwood furnitures, can need crane to move around.
>>721025450This post doesn't really prove anything. How would you solve what you're implying?
>>721022865>practical*crumbles to a wet fart*
>>721025450wood has fallen
>>721025450This just means modern lumber is harvested from more efficiently grown trees that grow bigger, faster. You can see each year's growth is more significant than the old wood. If anything this means a drastic increase in lumber output because you can harvest much faster. It's like comparing shitty pre-columbian maize to a modern ear of corn.
>>721023965why did you react this strongly to my joke?
>>721025950Old wood good new wood bad
>>721022550>grandkidsIkea shit don't last that long.
>>721022550grandpas armoire is great until you have to move and you realize it weighs 800 pounds
>>721025450Sucks, but what are you gonna do? just keep depleting unsustainable old growth for shitty housing developments until there's nothing left and we have to use the above farmed lumber anyway?
>>721025450Are they blasting growth hormone on trees now?Or is this a disingenuous image showing wood made from two different trees and pretending it has something to do with time?
>>721026227Of course it makes sense but what are you implying in this context? That we should use old wood indefinitely? Is such a thing even possible?
>>721026262> and this is where we hide the bees
>>721026391Demon souls good Elden ring bad
>>721022865Soulless retard.
>>721026478Could the scale of the buildings have something to do with their respective prices? Labels Berlin 2 looks far bigger than Alte kommandantur
>>721025450Wasn't there some initiative to selectively breed trees to get better wood quality AND fast growth?
>>721025450How do we know for sure that the bottom tree is actually from 1918?
>>721026141Sure, but it's generally milled poorly and is softer/more fragile. New, farmed wood isn't inherently worse but high quality lumber is harder to find and more expensive. You can go to your local orange blue or green and get pine with the same structural integrity as a bendy straw for a couple bucks. Then look up at all the new "luxury" apartments going up in your city and realize that's what they're made out of. My house was built in the 50s. The code was lax but the materials were all rock solid. Now the code sets a much higher bar but all your new construction is slapped together with a bunch of bullshit (and btw these builders are not strictly following the code anyway)
>>721022865The only problem with top is if you're a rentoid who constantly has to move.
>>721022550The first one is clearly out of place and looks jarring as a result
>>721026702It says right there you moran
>>721026478The right looks unironically cool while the left looks like eastern euro slop, poor imitations of French and Italian architecture
>>721026791Sadly I think the bendy straw lumber costs more than the quality lumber from 100 years ago.
>>721025450im pretty sure that's pine vs oakit's two different type of trees
>>721027159must suck to have shit taste, probably because rabbi molested you
>>721026702keklolI like you, Anon. That's good.
>>721022550>grandkids Having kids in this shithole world is the most golem behavior one can partake in.
>>721025117>corporate bottomline matters above all elseNo. Customer choice matters above all else. And what you refer to as "neoliberal" is really just an understanding of basic human nature. In this case, that people buy more of what is cheaper and less of what is pricier. This isn't some grand conspiracy or symptom of malicious greed; it's just how humans act.Consumer consistently choose cheaper, crappier garbage made overseas rather than pay the premium for better and/or domestic goods. There isn't some secret cabal of malicious execs scheming to keep MADE IN AMURICUH goods off the shelves; there simply isn't nearly enough of a market for them.Another quick lesson in human behavior: people want premium labor, but cheap goods and services. They're not completely mutually exclusive, but they're near enough to be so. "Neoliberals" want the market -- i.e. consumers -- to make their own choices. "But, I'm so smart that I can control the market!" No.
>>721026559There is nothing better than a regular structure, like it or not. I'm tired of retard architects forcing visible concrete, 10 meter long windows with no pillars inbetween and stupid shapes, etc, fully knowing that they make a house ridiculosuly expensive for no reason compared to a regular pile distribution and prestressed beams for floors. Visible concrete looks like a prison.
>>721026559Yes, but the biggest driver of cost is from the vast amount of glass and fittings, as well as the more complicated structure/design.
>>721027159Enjoy shit looking irregular and unappealling against the skyline
>>721027248Lets say this is the case, since I can't ID species via grain pattern like my dead grandpa.It is still new growth (pine) vs old growth.Old growth tends to be more durable specifically because of all the tight compounding layers, if the pine in question was given greater time to mature before harvest the growth rings at the center could be somewhat denser, giving higher quality lumber.
>>721023268My dad has my grandfather's desk and I don't know what I'm gonna do with it eventually. I don't live somewhere with an office room and it's too big to use as a computer desk and my room is on the second floor anyways so there's no way i'm gonna be able to bring the fucking thing up here.
Which of these styles do you prefer anon? I will criticize you heavily based on your answer.

>>7210225501. Solid wood that is a piece of art and will last for at least another 100 years Vs2. A piece of chink plywood with chink glue that will start falling apart 1 year into use
>>721022865fpbp>all these triggered retardsIf you rather have that monstrosity on the left instead of right in your room, you are either a brown midwit with zero taste or a tranny. Simple as.
>>721027723Both are fine. Regular, Rectangular, Efficient. What else can you ask for?
