| Multiple decades. Like well over 50+ years. |

| My parents have had theirs since 1970. Still in great condition. They just change out the mattress on their bedstead. |

| I'd probably sell it and buy something new after 5 years...I like to change things up. |

| OP - are you talking about just the mattress and box springs or the fixture? |

| Forever. Have you heard of antiques? Good furniture doesn't wear out. |

Several hundred years.
Just bought mine at an estate sale. Vintage cream with hand-painted flowers. |

I have my parents' set from the 70s. New mattress and bed frame, but same headboard, armoire, and dresser. |

| Bedroom sets last for hundreds of years, unless they're some kind of cheap particle board mess. Just replace mattress as needed. |

| Dh's bedroom "bachelor set" that we had basically fell apart after 10 years. It was inexpensive, and had been moved a lot (dh is military). Moving is hard on furniture. Hoping for a longer life from our current set. It's better made (metal glides instead of plastic, etc) and fingers crossed won't have as many moves. |

| In my daughter's room I currently have my mom's childhood dresser that has survived over 20 moves. |

| We have an IKEA set that is ten years old and has been moved twice. It still looks good and is functional. My DD has my DH'a childhood set (new mattress/box springs) that is 45 years old and still looks good and is functional. The guest room has a 20 year old set (new matress/box springs) that is still perfect. We have no plans to replace any bedroom sets anytime soon. |

My parents have the set that my grandparents were given as a wedding present in the 40s, so that set is more than 70 years old and still in great shape.
