Re: There's a lot of junk out there...
Yes it would affect price to eliminate the shortcuts. I'd say 20 % - 25 % higher overall almost all of which is in material costs. Solid wood drawer bottoms and backs, eliminate the narrow board glueups (takes a lot of time to glue up small lumber, though wide boards are more costly at the mill). I like the design and look of the Durham product and its price points are decent. I just would like to pay that extra 20 to 25 % and have the pieces done to a higher level - at least for my store and clientele.
