Mack, you'll frequently hear people say, Made in America is important to me if the price is right. Gallery Furniture makes a concerted effort to carry high quality Made in America furniture that's not significantly higher in price. What would you say to someone who says, well, I could find it at some other store for a couple hundred dollars cheaper, but it's imported.
Why should they consider buying Made in America? Cheaper doesn't mean better. The question is, they want to buy Made in America, they don't like the price. Well, the price is for the quality.
This desk is $4,700. This desk will last a hundred years. So what's it worth? A hundred years times 4,700.
That's what $4.70 a year. Not a bad deal. So, uh, the whole idea is, uh, forget about, forget about how much you're paying for it.
Ask how long it's going to last. Ask what you want to do. What is pride of ownership worth? What's it worth when you walk in there and you feel that solid wood, you feel that, uh, the Amish craftsmen building this furniture in the heartland of America, you know, that for every cherry tree, they harvest to make this solid wood desk.
So we planted three at 30 more cherries trees. And it's, it's, uh, a high paid job for an American family. And it's a great, great piece of furniture that you'll enjoy for a lifetime.
Cheap doesn't last long and, uh, uh, long lasting isn't cheap. You buy quality, you pay a little bit more and you get a whole lot more. It's called pride of ownership.
It's called the real thing. I'm not going to get cancer from smelling the formaldehyde in this desk as you do with a lot of offshore products.
