Over 15 million tons of "Fast Furniture" are filling our landfills with poisonous non biodegradable materials each year. Big name brands are the main culprits. High prices don't mean better quality in today's world. American companies are producing less and less because they just can't compete with  billions of dollars spent marketing poor quality furniture. People just assume that furniture shouldn't last and continue the cycle. More and more trash flows every year with no signs of stopping. People should have their furniture longer than they own their car. The rule with furniture is "buy cheap, buy twice". This is unheard of in today's furniture world. Furniture is now created to be thrown away. This imported furniture contains carcinogenic chemicals, takes energy to make, more energy to transport, and then it ends up in a landfill in a couple of years. Market Place and Goodwill should be the first places people with a budget should shop. This way they don't get tricked into financing furniture that will break before it is paid off. We don't need to be gaslighted by corporations with subpar products, fine print, toll free numbers, and hiding behind names that used to be made in America. The worst options are online, where people have no way of knowing the quality before it arrives. Usually arrival comes with damage and it might take two or more tries before an order is complete. The amount of waste financially and environmentally are beyond comprehension. Each year imported furniture makes 221 Billion Dollars, so unfortunately this problem will continue to exacerbate with time. Please do your research and see where your furniture is made and what it contains chemically.
