It is a stool made of Cassia siamea wood. The plant grows in the regions of Southeast Asia, as well as in my region. I bought it online to put in the garden when I do crafts. In fact, it is manufactured in the north of China two thousand kilometers from my city. The wood must be transported from my area to the north. Then the finished goods returned to my area. The stool traveled at least four thousand kilometers. I think about the cost including planting the tree, obtaining wood, transportation, manufacturing, labor etc. The price of the stool is not expensif. But is it relly profitable if we take into accompte all the production steps? It is possible not.
