Can you believe Australians send the equivalent of 800,000 three-seater sofas worth of furniture to landfill every year?
We all know that buying well is better than buying often, but it's something we are really passionate about here at NooK. It's been a guiding principle since we launched as the Original Australian Play Sofa all those years ago!
We’ve all been there though — tempted by the low price tag, the clever marketing, the "limited time" sale... It’s easy to click add to cart when the product seems like a bargain. But we also hear how often those quick wins turn into short-lived fun: A broken zip, a cover that warps and shrinks when washed, a seam that splits weeks after purchase, or foam that goes flat after just a few months' use. Unfortunately, Fast Furniture just isn't made to last.
We’re living in a world that encourages us to consume more, faster, and cheaper. But behind the convenience lies a really significant cost: to our wallets, our wellbeing, and our planet.
