The Fight against Fast Furniture 打擊快傢俱人人有責

At the end of the day, consumers will play the most important role in the fight to end fast furniture. Shoppers should try to think more about the long term when preparing to purchase new furniture. They should stay away from furniture that is made from cheap materials like fiberboard or plastic because they will often fall apart after a few years. Although these items may cost less initially, they are more expensive because they will need to be replaced sooner than traditional pieces of furniture.

到頭來，消費者會在終結快傢俱的對抗中扮演最重要的角色。購物者準備購買新傢俱時應試圖長遠思考。他們應該避開由纖維板或塑膠等低價材料製成的傢俱，因為它們通常幾年後就會支離破碎。雖然這些物品最初可能很便宜，它們其實更昂貴因為它們會比傳統傢俱還要更快被替換掉。

生活必備字詞：
