Answer
Poor design can lead to rigid and complex systems.
Designing class hierarchies requires careful consideration to avoid issues like deep inheritance chains, which can make maintenance and changes difficult. For example, if 'Product' is a superclass of 'Furniture' and 'Electronics', but 'Furniture' needs a method unrelated to 'Product', it might be better to refactor the hierarchy to prevent unnecessary complexity.
