Main Feedback from the user tests & workshop:
The customization feature (kitchen planner) would encourage more new purchasing behavior, which is not sustainable.
The app should effectively help people with maintenance and management.
The focus should be on the current the Vedum furniture users, but not new users who are planning to buy new furniture.

Feedback summary from the high fidelity prototype evaluation.
👍 What Works Well:
The overall interface is well-received for its clean and minimalist design.
The price comparison screen is especially effective—users can easily view and compare all available options at a glance.
❗️Areas For Improvement:
Onboarding for new users: First-time users found the experience slightly confusing and expressed a need for clearer guidance or onboarding support.
Unclear price reminder: The price reminder text in the repair flow lacked clarity and led to confusion during decision-making.
Tab organization on "My Kitchen" page: The four tabs—Equipped, Repair, Recycle, and Sell—were found to be somewhat confusing, with users unsure about the boundaries or purpose of each section.
