      It’s odd because from what I can gather from things like youtube it seems like woodworking is huge there (and they say wood is cheap there too), so I’d imagine there should be a considerable amount of people doing furniture.

      Contrasting to the situation here where people doing hand-maded furniture is lowering their prices so much trying to keep up with the ikea-type of shit (and of course doing things with superior quality).

        Labor is still expensive.

        Lots of labor needed if it’s not mass produced on an assembly line.
