I was wrong all these years. I always thought you glued and clamped.
My wife dragged me to this high end store , in a very high end town.

A lot of the furniture was nailed together,some with the nails still
exposed, some plugged with filler.

I have to say I have never seen high end stuff nailed and with the nails
showing both on the outside where the shelves were nailed with a air
nailer and left unfilled. And the right angle corners and face frame had
the nail holes showing. this on a nice looking piece aside from this
distraction.

Another piece had nail holes filled with a non-matching filler...
Drawers were nailed together.

I saw many useless barn door sliding hardware pieces that were over
used, and they didn't roll well.

The price was high for all pieces.

So my wife wanted me to reproduce piece.. I said ****.. no problem it's
just nailed. But I think I'll add glue, and maybe drop the nails..




Some people are fooled into thinking high priced means high end.
And many more are fooled into thinking "hand made" means quality - -

And some people are fooled into thinking that nailed furniture is bad :-)

Quality is in the eye of the beholder, methinks.

Sure, some even buy from Ikea. Kitchens, no less!
