Will there be antique furniture in the future?

Question:

Will there be antique furniture in the future?

Given that furniture these days all seems to be made from veneered particle board or mdf; no mortise and tenon or dovetail joints - just plastic fixings, which loosen and fall to bits if you move it too much. (Ikea - please take note.)

In fact, nothing that makes for a lasting piece of furniture that will improve with age, care and polishing.

i understand what you're saying, but you're wrong. there is high quality furniture being crafted. there's a little place right down the street from me that turns out very nice furniture.

it's a mistake to think all furniture made a hundred years ago was of high quality. it was not. what has lasted as collectable antiques was exceptional.

it is a shame, however, that craftsmanship has gone down the toilet in favor of cheap disposable krap. but go out and try to find quality lumber. it has become quite rare. this is the price we pay for consumerism.
