[quote=Anonymous]You can have nice furniture- just not in areas where the kids are always around at first. We invested in solid cherry furniture for our bedroom- natural finish, clean lines, made in America. That was 10 years ago when we had a toddler. Now we have two kids and a dog- the bedroom furniture is fine. Everything else- meh. It is hit or miss. Dining room table is solid wood from CB is fine. Upholstery not so much. Family room top grain leather sofa we purchased 15 years ago for Ethan Allen is ok- needs a lot touch ups but fine. Ikea furniture is destroyed. Havertys tv stand is fine but the coffee table is destroyed. Solid wood (not veneer and not heavily stained) looks ok still. But anything painted or veneered looks like poop. Upholstery is not great but we didn’t spend a lot on that. And don’t forget- it’s not just kids. It’s spouses too. [/quote]
