I'd be interested to know how the feelings change if theyve owned the piece of furniture for like a year, rather than having just felt the efforts of putting it together, etc. ie. does the value of the build effect drop off a cliff after the efforts of putting it together are no longer relevant to the builder.

Conjecture: The non-builders will have grown attached to it and the builders will be like, this is old and has various shortcomings, I can build something better.

For me after a year I feel a sense of achievement if it's still standing/in one piece.
