@irenes@krusynth oh the wood went up but it is the hours that raise the price.
Inflation was applied to furniture, but more generally the reason we got purchasing power parity is that we got cheaper stuff made with more efficient mass production. For woods, that means particles board. And more hardware for joints (not a bad thing!)
Fundamentally without mass producing (and hard wood hard for mass prod) no reduction in labour cost for woodwork. And it ships badly if not flatpacked
