We’re hitting the point where people are finding out just how shitty their stuff is because they’ve owned it a couple years.

I think this is the big thing. My (now) wife and I moved in together in summer 2019. We bought just about everything we needed on Wayfair. Coffee tables, book shelves, lamps, tons more.

We owned literally none of it by end of 2022.

Glad it isn't just me. I got a cutting board there less than a year ago and it's already splitting quite badly.
