A lot of "cheaper" furniture is also made of MDF, which can weigh considerably more than solid wood. Know what you buy, and consider what it will take to move it, should you ever have to. Solid oak tables are beautiful, but if you move it once, you'll never want to again.
I work at a coffee shop here in Vancouver. It's called Caffe Artigiano. Great coffee, but some idiot decided we should use the Starbucks sizing scheme. So we have 3 sizes, but not tall, grande, and venti. That would be too easy, probably also copyright infringement. So we have a traditional size (the same as a Starbucks' short), a tall size, and a grande, which are equivalent to their Starbucks counterparts. It would make sense if "Tall" meant something in Italian like Grande and Venti do, but I digress. Besides, Starbucks makes some of the shittiest coffee in the world. It also explains why people come into my work and complain the coffee isn't dark enough. It's plenty dark enough, it's just not burnt to shit like Starbucks coffee.

Small is tall (Stupid fucking $tarbu¢ks sizes)
