[quote=Anonymous]Unless some posts were deleted I can't tell if people were being smug about having old furniture. They just stated they had it. The OP asked how long a bedroom set lasts. The answer is that they can last hundreds of years.

Like some posters I have "old brown furniture" because I inherited them. Hey, they were solid wood, excellent shape, classic designs, looks nice in my house and it was free!

Fashion goes in and out of style. Always has, always will. Many of us don't care and stick with what we like and enjoy.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15 to 20 years is enough for me. At that point I feel I've gotten my money's worth and might want to update, redecorate. lifetime furniture has absolutely no appeal to me, not sure why it is important to have the same furniture for your entire life - but that's just me. To each her own.[/quote]

+1. What's the brag worthiness of having the same furniture for 50 years?

Complain all you want, but your grandparents' heavy brown furniture produced between 1850 and 1980 is not desirable.  You literally have to pay people to haul it from your house because no one wants it right now. Check craigslist. People are selling their old, perfect condition solid wood bedroom sets for $150, but they'll sit there for months until they finally have to pay someone to drive it to salvation army for them.

It's fine if you like it and enjoy it. But I don't see why there is smugness in having old furniture solely for the sake of it being old.  [/quote][/quote]
