Unless you’re the owner of a destructive kitten or puppy, chances are—toddlers aside—that furniture you buy today could last you a decade. Whether it’s a dining table, a sofa, or outdoor furniture, it’s tempting to save a money and go for the cheaper option.
That’s fine if it’s a deal, but it can be a false economy if the quality doesn’t match. Ultimately, you have to live with that purchase for years.
