I am going to call you on that one, considering furniture, I seriously
doubt that most people today realize that there is better furniture to
be had. Most people that I have dealt with think they have good
furniture. They see how I build my furniture and that is generally all
they need to see to commission me to build for them.


Yep, that is soooo... true.

As someone who was raised on home built and second hand furniture, I did
not know how BAD conventional furniture was until I got out in the world
and saw it for the first time. I was amazed how flimsy a lit of it was.
I remember building some bookshelves that did not fit in a particular
space. I gave the bookshelves to my sister. She, and her house
visitors, were amazed on how "sturdy" the bookshelves were. That was
over 25 years ago. Visitors to her house, 25 years later, still remark
on how "sturdy" those shelves are.

That only means one thing. There is a lot of crap out there and when
people run into something different, it is a bit of a revelation for them.

Stay a week in a house with and use handcrafted kitchen cabinets, then take
a stroll through a showroom at the Borgs with the KitchenMaid, et al
factory-made displays and I guarantee you will be startled by what you
missed/didn't notice the first time you saw the latter ... your eye will be
forever ruined in favor of the former.
