I work on new furniture and get depressed when I see drywall screws from the factory. If I take them out, I replace them with good wood screws.

I don't know which is worse, those, or cheap, soft screws that strip out easily. Most of these pieces run from $500-1000. Even if they got these cheap screws for free, they would only be saving about fifty cents (retail price) over premium screws.
