Wife wanted a plant shelf on Amazon for $60. I said, pshh, I can build that myself. So I did. It only cost $90 and took all weekend. (lemmy.world)

Made entirely from 1x2 pine. Ripped into thirds for the shelf slats. Pocket holes. Glue. Brads and glue for the shelf slats.

Bah, I could do that for $200 in only a week or two.

So instead of a cheap Amazon furniture she got a more valuable hand made one. Seems like a good deal to me
