[quote=Anonymous][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]

I dont read it as smugness. We've got hand me down furniture because it was free. I don't care if I can't sell it on Craigslist, it's functional and looks fine. Not everyone can afford to furnish multiple bedrooms with all new stuff. [/quote]
