Why is furniture so expensive?

[EvilMunky]

If your wearing a sofa out in 3 years your doing more than sitting on it. Dirty monkey

How dare you.............!

I was merely using three years to show the calculations in my theory

I want to mount my lcd monitor on a wall and I already have the wall mount picked out. What I'm looking for is a small computer desk that can hold a tower and a mouse and keyboard.

You don't really 'get' Hexus do you?

That's a bit harsh. Where better to get advice about computer related products? Not as though we don't have to put our computers somewhere and it's not like desks and chairs haven't been discussed here before.

@GertrudeKirke: Have you tried Argos for ideas?

Do they have an Argos in New Delhi?

It's basic economics.

When you can go to a shed that'll sell you a sofa with leather so thin you can see through it and stitching that'll make Picasso's head spin round, for a couple of hundred pounds, people head downmarket and out of town in their droves.

So the demand for mid priced, well made stuff falls through the floor, forcing the mid market manufacturers to either slash costs and quality, or move up to the luxury end of the market.

Ain't capitalism grand?

In other furniture discussion, anyone know where I might find a low entertainment unit of this shape:

Not a million miles from my current setup:


£150 from some shop I've forgotten (it was the display model), though I could find out the model if you like.

That's been modified a bit (the chrome support) as it was originally a L shaped unit with the rightmost storage unit attached where the chrome support now is.

[edit] Argh.. dead thread revival - just noticed the OP was 2 years ago
-that'll teach me for not looking at dates, and replying before reading the whole thread

Maybe Parm can post a picture of his current setup so we all get closure

That's a bit harsh.

Why?

First post, in a two year old resurrected thread, started by someone which specific requirements.

Seems pretty much out of keeping with the whole Hexus mentality. Hence the 'get' bit.

I'd also lay odds that that individual is unlikely to be back, and if they are, unlikely to stay.

Credit for the edit, but that's possible a contender for the most useless post award

OP looking for help on how to find an entertainment center. You tell him you can't remember where you bought a corner desk. Excellent work.

... in a two year old resurrected thread ...

to be fair, the most recent previous post in the thread was only just over a month ago. But that was only due to a spammer's revival of the thread in the first place

Wonder why so many spambots and noobs choose to bump a furniture thread on a tech forum...?

I did say I could find the model listed with the receipt (I keep everything), but never mind

Why doesn't hexus lock old threads?
