"When we see a price like [a $20 sofa], it's a red flag that maybe there's some part of the supply chain for that product where we need to do further investigation," says Shawn Bhimani, highlighting concerns around quality and ethical sourcing. Cheap prices often conceal unsustainable practices.
"A $20 couch is already destined for the landfill," says Pete Oyler, emphasizing that the perceived 'good value' of ultra-cheap furniture leads to more waste and higher long-term environmental costs.
Low prices and poor quality furniture encourage a disposable mindset among consumers, leading to increased waste and resource depletion, as illustrated by generational changes in furniture usage.
