Have you seen the price of finished wood these days. It’ll probably be cheaper (although possibly more fatal) to buy a forest, cut your own trees down and build your own sawmill.
In time of climate change you don’t want to own a forest, unless you own a fire department, an insekt repellent company and a water plant to water them when there’s a drought. Pump and dump is the way to go. Buy two table, store one on top of each other and sell it when inflation doubled it’s price, so basically 6 months.
I built a shoe rack during the pandemic. It actually turned out great, it’s way better than something from IKEA. It was indeed 2-3x the cost of an equivalent thing from IKEA if you consider all the tools and stuff I had to buy though.
Most of which aren’t really compatible with living in a city, even if you’re in a house and not an apartment. We needed an entire garage stall for my husband’s tools, which significantly affected what houses we could buy and how close to the city center we could live. It’s a lifestyle choice, not something you just pick up on a whim.
Everyone should get into woodworking, because then you can just make your own and it’ll be twice as expensive and shittier than IKEA’s version.
You had me in the first half…

Seize the means, comrade!

Never mind the space, tools and time required anyway

I feel personally attacked.
