Why designer furniture is worth the price

We have all heard the quote ‘You Get What You Pay For’, and that is exactly right relating to designer furniture. Lower quality means greater wear and tear, whereas designer furniture uses the best available materials and is often made by hand, meaning they won’t need to be regularly replaced. Due to the art and craftsmanship involved, many pieces produced are in limited quantities making each piece unique and inherently more valuable withholding its value for many years. The desirability for designer furniture also remains strong due to the functionality and consideration of ergonomics when designing the piece. An example can be the comparison between a low-end office chair with no back support and a designer office chair, constructed to support the spine using highly durable quality materials.
