It is almost impossible for the middle class to buy real wood furniture now.
I honestly don’t trust any celebs when it comes to things like these. To me it’s them cashing in on the climate anxiety of young people. Real change can’t come without government regulation and often these entrepreneurial celebs work to weaken government regulations across the world. So meh.
The real question is, will it be affordable? Because yeah, it’s great if it’s built in a waste-free way, but it’s pointless if it’s priced out of reach for most people.
I mean isn’t this basically what Polywood stuff is made out of? That stuff seems to be very sturdy.
This is just her partnership with Polywood. Polywood has been around a long time. Yes, it is more expensive than your standard outdoor dining set, BUT most outdoor sets require to be covered during weather or even moved indoors. I bought my set in spring of 2020, and the same set is actually cheaper now (how many companies do that?!). It’s been five years, and still looks brand new. I would have had to replace the standard set already, that run $500-1k+ for a six-top.
Your girl is a self-proclaimed Polywood influencer, in that two friends have also purchased a set after scoffing at what I paid, and seeing that it lasts.
Back to Martha, it’s fine, just a collab for design and color.
Now use it in your home, Martha.
This is the same kind of stuff where the powers that be say, “Hey don’t eat meat now, it’s bad for the environment, you eat bugs now.” Then they sit in their private jet eating steak dinners.
I just want real wood furniture again.
aight but how much microplastics does this process create.
I got a metal Martha Stewart outdoor dining table and 6 chairs when I first moved into my house 12 years ago. It’s all still in great shape.
A lot of boat docks are made of this material. It’s weird and scratchy, but at least it’ll last in the sun.
