If you’ve just moved into a new house that you’ve just bought, your first instinct might be to buy cheap furniture. It might seem like a clever way to offset costs, but you’ll end up regretting your decision sooner rather than later.
Well-built furniture is more expensive. It might be more difficult to buy after a move, so coming up with a strategy is important. Let’s look at why.
How This Might Cost You More
That cheap desk or chest of drawers you just bought? It’s likely that you’ll have to replace it in a few years. If you keep picking low-quality furniture then you’ll find yourself in a never-ending circle.
