I want to know why home made stuff is always three times the price,
and takes a ton of time to finish. *Yea, it's just the right size,
shape, features and all that, but it's a good thing this is a hobby!

Oh, yes, it does impress your friends when you get it done. *That's
worth something.

Your comparison is probably not apples to apples. The purchased, low
cost furniture, is likely made from MDF/particleboard with a vinyl
veneer. Factory made in the far east. Home made is likely solid wood
from a native species. If you were to purchase a similar table as you
can make, you would likely pay more than what you have invested. I
think the Moser brand of furniture is similar to what a hobby
woodworker would make, plus or minus. The cost of that brand would
rival your cost. Yet its purchased but not for 1/3 of your home made
product.
