There's local carpenters still?

Convenience trumps quality every time I'm afraid.

And let's face it, it's cost effective and functional. Just don't drop anything heavy on it.

I have a bunch of IKEA stuff and the unfortunate truth is... it does not cost as much, nor weigh as much, and pretty is damn convenient.

Last time I tried to help someone move a piece of real solid wood furniture we suddenly realized why most people have the cheaper stuff now. That damn thing might as well been made out of lead!

A lot of "cheaper" furniture is also made of MDF, which can weigh considerably more than solid wood. Know what you buy, and consider what it will take to move it, should you ever have to. Solid oak tables are beautiful, but if you move it once, you'll never want to again.

Is it dead? All I see is the video box with "loading..." inside it.

Nope, 3.5.4 works fine here.

I have to say the wide proliferation of proprietary flash-based video players kind of sucks. I have a really difficult time with LiveLeak videos especially, they tend to play fine for about 10% of their length, then get caught in a buffer lock- never to recover.
