These kinds of pieces are generational purchases. They do save you money but on a very long timescale that you yourself likely won't realize.

The right furniture is timeless.
I see a lot of "timeless" pieces donated on our town's "Buy Nothing" facebook page, after failing to sell at estate sales.
The other one has an E27 fitting and fits a regular IKEA or Philips LED bulb, even the smart ones or the ones with temperature adjustments.
You're not going to save money by replacing your Ikea furniture with handcrafted wood furniture that's 25 times the price. Whenever you move, it'll cost more to move the nice chair. You'll eventually have to reupholster it. You'll need to find other hardwood furniture to match it. It'll be way way more expensive over it's lifetime.
The furniture looks and feels nicer to us, was made with thoughtfulness, and is unique, and that's why people buy it, not because it saves money.

Hahahaha. Bro, how rich you think I am? The desk I have is currently sitting next to an Ikea bookshelf, it looks fine. I moved it by putting it in the back of my friend's truck. I'm never selling it so a few scratches are fine.
