"Built to last" appears on nearly every furniture listing, yet it rarely comes with any concrete definition of what that actually requires.
The Concrete Version
Furniture built to last means repairable joints, solid material rather than composite cores, and hardware or joinery, like on The Poka Bed, engineered to be re-tightened or reseated rather than replaced.
What It Doesn't Mean
It doesn't mean indestructible or maintenance-free, every piece of furniture needs some care over decades of use, built to last just means that care is worth investing in.
The Honest Verdict
Ask what happens when a piece eventually needs a repair. If the answer is "it can be fixed," it's genuinely built to last. If the answer is replacement, the phrase is just marketing.
