@wordshaper I absolutely get that. But many old and sturdy things weren't super expensive either and I feel like we have been duped a little bit into simply accepting that this is not the case for current products as a default. This Polder scale is already at least a mid-range product, you can get cheap digital scales for 5-6 € where I live. But for many products any extra money we spend isn't actually used to increase product quality/ longevity
