Money spent on furniture

[Anonymous]

Right now, looking in your home.... How much have you spent on the current furniture in total?

A lot of our furniture is antique, but found at various yard sales. I've bought a couple of more expensive pieces, like a nice antique carved German buffet for $1,700 when we got married. The sofas are a mix of stuff I purchased for our MCM and stuff I got from my mom when she downsized and my grandmother when she died (in the basement). The baby grand piano I inherited so it doesn't count, I wouldn't have bought one.

About $25k over a decade.

(That is including the rugs, the kids' furniture, the bedroom sets, etc.)

$70 000

~$10k, most of the rest was inherited one way or another. We have purchased couches and beds and mattresses.

Very little.

I don't invest a lot because like everything else in a home it needs updated every few years unless you are doing antiques. And I don't like antiques.

Probably $50,000? Hard to say as it's been accumulated over a very long time. Some pieces are family pieces.

We are buying some new furniture for the main level of our second home and plopping down $20k at once, which I've never done before. It's mostly mid range stuff and includes 3 rugs. We will need a few more pieces after this but not much.

Probably around $60-70k.

7500 for 3bed 1200 sq ft place. Mostly Ikea. Biggest expense is the lazy boy sofa. Next the TV and mattress.

Kitchen table was $100 used bought from a neighbor in our building. Got my coffee table and desk and bookcase cheap this way too. Baby room stuff is new.

Maybe $10,000 for 3 bedroom townhouse? Most of it is Ikea/Craigslist/yardsale, with a few $500-$1000 pieces from auctions/antique stores.

Maybe $20-$25k? Some of it I've had since law school, so this is over the last 11+ years. We currently have empty rooms in our new house, so eventually I'll spend more I guess.

I'd say the single most expensive room is the dining room, but my mom bought the buffet as a house-warming present in our first home. The hutch and the dining table/chairs were roughly $5000 combined.

Not more than $2k to furnish our three bedroom house. A few hand me downs and lots of used furniture

This one intrigued me! I added it all up and came up with $15150. This includes all of the furniture and carpets that we've purchased, plus mattresses. It does not include lamps, bedspreads and other useful furnishings of that type.

We have a 4 BR house, but inherited a lot of furniture (dressers, beds, mirrors, kitchen table, a few end tables). I've had some of these pieces for YEARS and purchased some of this furniture in 1998-2002.

We're likely buying a new couch soon. When I look at the total cost of the furniture in our home, one additional couch seems pretty expensive!

Right around $10k for a large 2 bedroom apartment, counting shared kids room, dining room, living, master and rugs. Most of it high end but found at outlets, several floor samples and good old Craigslist!
