People who tried this
“I've been doing this and make about $50 per chair that would take me maybe 10 minutes to assemble. Sometimes I'll do other easy-to-assemble things like night stands or coffee tables. But I try to net at least $30 per item since you gotta factor in time to build. Some items like dining tables and such I can profit $100-200 per item.”
