Why Good Quality Is Better Than Many Things

 

Our world is hooked on getting more. We want more choices. We want more items. We want to buy more things. When we choose good things over many things, it feels new. It feels like a big change.

But this choice is a main part of two things. It helps the earth. It makes us feel good. At Resiklo Miami, we think this is true. We think owning fewer things is better. These better things make our lives richer. They also harm the earth less. This idea guides us in all our work. It guides the furniture we make. It guides how we talk to our clients.

Here is why good things over many things is so key. Here is how this way of thinking can change your home. It can also change how you feel about all the items you own.

 

The Trap of Many Things

 

How did we get here? The way we buy things today pushes us to always get more.

• Low prices make buying easy. We do not have to think about it.

• Ads make us want things we do not need.

• Social media makes us compare. It makes us want what others have.

• "Fast furniture" and "fast fashion" make it normal to throw things away.

• Our homes get full of stuff. This becomes normal.

 

The Costs of This

 

• Money: Always buying new things uses up our money.

• Earth: We make huge amounts of trash. We use up all our natural things.

• Mind: We get tired of making choices. We do not feel happy.

• Space: Our homes get full of items we do not use.

• Feelings: We do not feel close to the things we own.

 

The Good Choice Is Quality

 

This means fewer things, but better things.

• We pick our items with great care. We pick things that mean a lot to us.

• We spend money on things that last.

• We think hard before we buy.

• Our rooms are set up with a plan.

• We have a deep, good feeling for the things we own.

This change in thinking is big. It makes us think again about how we buy. It makes us think again about how we own our furniture.

 

What "Good Quality" Really Is

 

 

Good Materials

 

• Use solid wood, not fake wood.

• Use natural cloth, not fake cloth.

• Use real leather, not plastic.

• Use good metal parts, not cheap ones.

• Use strong finishes, not thin top coats.

 

Good Building Quality

 

• Use old, strong wood joints. Do not use just screws and glue.

• Use work done by hand. Do not use factory lines.

• Pay close attention to small things. Do not cut corners to save money.

• Make it to last a long time. Do not plan for it to break.

 

Good Design Quality

 

• Use styles that always look good. Do not follow trends.

• Use shapes that are well-planned. Do not use plain, standard shapes.

• Make it useful and pretty. Do not make it just for looks.

• Make it useful in many ways. Do not make it for just one job.

 

Good Maker Quality

 

• Use makers with great skills. Do not use factory workers.

• Have pride in the work. Do not just try to make a lot of things.

• Take credit for your work. Do not be a person with no name.

• Use old, proven knowledge. Do not use robot methods.

Resiklo Miami puts quality first. We do this in all these ways.

 

The Math of Good Quality

 

 

First Case: The "Many Things" Way

 

• You buy a cheap dining table. It costs $400.

• It lasts for 5 years. Then it falls apart.

• You must replace it 6 times over 30 years. This costs $2,400.

• You also have other costs. You pay to throw it away. You spend time shopping. You work to build it.

• The harm to the earth is big. Six tables are made. They are shipped. They are put in a dump.

 

Second Case: The "Good Things" Way

 

• You buy a Resiklo Miami table. It costs $2,500.

• It lasts for 75 years or more. It needs very little care.

• One table is bought. It helps three groups of your family. The cost is $2,500 over 75 years. That is $33 each year.

• You also get more good things. The table is worth more over time. You do not throw it away. It needs very little care.

• The harm to the earth is small. Just one table is made. There is very little trash.

Good quality costs less for each year you use it. It also gives you a better time. It also harms the earth much less.

 

Good Things You Cannot Measure

 

 

A Link You Can Feel

 

Good furniture becomes part of your life.

• You have memories that are linked to each piece.

• You feel closer to it as time goes by.

• You do not want to replace items that mean a lot.

• You feel proud to own it.

• You feel a link to the makers. You feel a link to the materials.

 

Less Tiredness from Choices

 

Buying fewer things means good things.

• You spend less time shopping. You spend less time comparing.

• You have fewer choices to make.

• You have more brain power for things that count.

• You feel sure about the choices you made.

• You feel free from always buying.

 

A Look That Fits Together

 

Rooms that are set up with care look better. They have fewer, better pieces.

• They have a more peaceful look.

• Each item gets to stand out. Each item can shine.

• The rooms are clean and calm.

• The room looks like you planned it. It does not look like you just got stuff.

• It shows a smart, simple style.

 

Room to Breathe

 

Less furniture makes more good things.

• It makes real, open space.

• It makes your eyes feel calm.

• It is easier to clean. It is easier to care for.

• The room can be used in many ways.

• You have room for your life. You do not just have room to store things.

 

Good Quality in Action: The Resiklo Way

 

How we show our good quality:

Skilled Work

 

Our makers bring:

• Many, many years of wood skills.

• We build ties that are more than just a sale.

 

How to Pick Good Quality

 

A list to help you judge. Before you buy, ask these things:

• Will this last 20 years or more if I care for it? If the answer is no, think again.

• Is this made from good items? Look for solid wood. Look for natural cloth. Look for real metal.

• Can it be fixed if it gets hurt? Good, "green" furniture can be fixed.

• Will the design still look good in 10 years? Do not buy trendy styles.

• Do I know who made it? Do I know how they made it? Being open shows good quality.

• Am I buying this with thought? Or am I buying it fast? Good quality should be thought about.

• Does this match what I care about? This means "green" living. This means good work. This means helping my town.

• Can I pay for good quality now? Or should I wait? Sometimes it is better to wait. It is better than buying a bad thing.

Resiklo Miami furniture passes all these tests.

Common Worries, Answered

 

 

"I Do Not Have Money for Good Quality."

 

• A Hard Look:

  • You do not have the money to keep buying cheap things. These new things add up.

  • Think of one good piece, not many cheap ones.

  • Save your money for a longer time. Then you can buy it one time.

  • Think about a payment plan for big pieces.

  • Start with just one item. Then you can build up slowly.

 

"I Like to Change My Style Often."

 

• Our Answer:

  • Good quality does not mean it is boring.

  • Pieces that last forever can work with new styles.

  • You can change the small things, like pillows. You do not need to change the big furniture.

  • Pieces that work in many ways can fit new looks.

  • You can also refinish the wood. This gives it a new life.

 

"What If I Move?"

 

• Our Answer:

  • Good furniture moves better than cheap furniture.

  • Pieces that adapt can work in new rooms.

  • They keep their value if you need to sell.

  • You are less likely to need to replace it.

  • Good furniture is worth the cost of moving.

 

"Good Quality All Looks the Same."

 

• This Is Not True:

  • Custom and handmade items offer endless looks.

  • Natural items mean each piece is special.

  • Work with makers to get your own design.

  • Good quality can be found in all styles.

  • Resiklo Miami makes many different designs.

 

The Earth Needs This Change

 

The harm from buying too much. The EPA has numbers:

• 12 million tons of furniture are thrown out each year in the US.

• Most of this goes to the dump.

• Fake wood does not break down in the earth.

• Bad glue and finishes leak into the ground.

• We must always take new things from the earth to make replacements.

 

The Good Things from Quality

 

• You make one purchase. You do not make many purchases over your life.

• This greatly lowers the harm from making things.

• It uses less shipping (most of all, if it is local).

• It can be fixed. It is not thrown away.

• In the end, it can be recycled. Or it can break down in the earth.

• It uses fewer of the earth's things for each year you use it.

Choosing good quality is a key thing we must do for the earth.
