    Young people seem to prefer particle board style furniture.

    As a young(-ish) person myself, I can assure you that it’s not that we prefer particle board, but rather that that’s the majority of what’s affordable out there. As I’m sure you’re probably aware, unless you go thrifting like you just said, real wood stuff in general, let alone furniture, is usually very expensive.

        Exactly. That’s my situation too. I’ve found great furniture at Goodwills and (at the time) had the money to buy it, but I didn’t have the room in my car for it, nor did I know anyone who did.
