Unique market analysis: Living Room Chairs

Here, higher price does not clearly buy higher stars (correlation ≈ -0.30). That is a classic value-shopper category: several cheaper options match or beat premium ratings. Of the 8 listings, 3 rate 4.5★ or higher, 0 have 1,000+ reviews, and 3 still have under 50 reviews (treat those as early-signal products).
