    I see pics of their stuff, and figure I could make something similar out of better raw materials. So that's what I do.

    I hear they have in-store cafes and the meatballs are popular. Not planning on trying them out any time soon.
    Well if you have some wood working ability and the right tools and the time you can make better stuff than you can buy.
    No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!

      Haha age is making me a snob
      Quality furniture won't fall apart in a year.

      I've got a couple pieces that have been in the family forever. They've been reupholstered a couple times, and will still be solid enough to be re-done a couple more times. I don't have kids or animals to add wear and tear, either.

      I've made a desk and some built-in bookshelves. Going to try cabinets next.

        Yeah that hardwood framed, dove tailed joint furniture lasts. I have a wardrobe that's been in my mom's family since the 1860's. Amazing what they could do with hand planes, lathes and saws in those days. What's cool is it's made to separate into sections so it can be moved in a wagon bed. It's a big huge thing and you would never know it's that old. It's been taken care of.

                    Failed.

                    Kristy claimed that she could pull a rabbit out of her pants. All that came out were crabs.
