I love stuff that's durable and repairable, but it's so hard to come by these days. And even things that are theoretically repairable often aren't worth doing so (e.g. refrigerators).

I have Oneida flatware, solid wood furniture, and a Blendtec blender because these things will last. I don't want to buy flatware ever again, and, because I bought quality the first time, I won't have to, and I wish there were more things I could buy for life.
