There is a newer version - AP260SPT. We’ve just bought one for my local men’s shed - as far as I can see the main differences are that the bed moves as one (like Hammer machines) and there are lifting handles (which are nice to have during installation, I must admit!). Otherwise, same spec. I’m...

It’s in the first line, in bold.

Don’t you ever get bored of yourself?

Fair enough, I’ll tell the British Library business research centre they might as well call it a day, some fella off a woodwork forum reckons it’s a waste of time ;)

Hi Joseph - you’ll be delighted to know that your “just make stuff then flog it” philosophy is currently having a bit of a moment...except it goes by the name of “minimum viable product”!

Unusual in the context of my survey results so far - materials being comfortably the last consideration when buying furniture. I’d go so far as to posit that, coupled with the ubiquity of IKEA, the vast majority of people couldn’t care less. Working out who does care and how much they’ll pay is...

True, and I suspect (although I’m trying my hardest not to make too many assumptions at this stage!) that fitted furniture is one area where the independent/small maker can actually compete.

I’ve received some pretty detailed replies from high-earning males, who tend to buy top end (no surprise) and value materials alongside design (this is unusual - materials aren’t deemed important by most).

I’ve been running the survey for a few days and some useful stuff has turned up already - more people than I expected across all income groups have paid for fitted/bespoke furniture, for example...or that lots of people have a favourite antique but next to nobody actually buys them!

I can adjust for gender once the results are in! Off to the British Library IP & Business Centre tomorrow to begin the market research - they can access all the hugely expensive reports that aren’t usually available to us lesser mortals. Thanks for the advice though.
