Furniture can easily be restored instead of being thrown away. And parts of that furniture (if it’s damaged beyond repair) could be recycled (i.e. glass).
I have a friend who chose not to replace his 50+ year old wooden floor in his house, but rather call a restoring company. He sent me a pic with that done and it’s looking gorgeous.
If only there was some way consumers could choose whether to buy something cheap and disposable or expensive and robust. Some kind of system whereby you could evaluate items and consider repairability prior to purchase.

Amazing. I can’t believe no one else has thought of this “restoration” life hack over the millennia /s.
They’ll have to think of some sort of ‘intentional deterioration’ or something to ensure that products break and are made hard to repair.

I find it funny that you keep trying to describe the current system as a solution to the problems of the current system.
Well, isn’t it kind of obvious that the current solutions are the best solutions we have at present?
Yes, wealth is not distributed equally, as has been the case since the dawn of time.
It would be great to solve that, but in the mean time we need to settle for doing our best.
No. It’s very obvious that the current system is the cause of our problems at the moment.
We already know of many better methods, but we cannot achieve them due to the current systems monopoly on violence and its glee to use it.
So melodramatic. Until all the billionaires are executed this is the system you and I both will exist within.
Have a few more hits from the bong while I go collect rents from my serfs.
Well duh, “until we fix things nothing will be fixed” fucking Einstein over here.
