[quote=Anonymous]Buy furniture you like now, but buy it with kids in mind. We got a couch that was big and cozy, with the idea that we would all tumble on it and have snuggle movie nights and such. We've had it ... not quite five years, and it sags from kids climbing on it but I mean, it's a comfy couch. I'm glad we aren't spending these years on something less comfortable. That said, we'll probably get a new one when the kids are older, but I don't think of most furniture as lasting forever. We also got a nice dining room table and I love it and it fits our space well. It's already showing some wear (we are working on the whole, don't bang your silverware thing, but it's a process). But I don't mind a patina in the furniture. My motto in my home and furniture is "nothing to precious." If I really didn't want my kids to ruin a certain piece, I might put it in a room that gets less use, or just hold off on buying anything that is going to cause more stress. [/quote]
