How old is your furniture?

[krantcents]

I have furniture that is 46 years old, but it hard goods. Our master bedroom set is 46 years old and our dining room set is 38 years old. I have some antique furniture that is over a 100 years old. Over the 46 years, we only had 3 sofas! If you buy quality which does not mean expensive, it lasts.

my oldest furniture is my refrigerator. I have used it for 30 years and have never ever repaired yet

There are only a couple pieces of furniture they own that I would happily keep, but of course they took those to Florida with them!

Coincidentally I just watched a news report talking about retirees down-sizing, in which the expert said that your children usually won't want your stuff!

Just the opposit w/my 2 DDs. I cannot count the times they have sat at my dine rm table picking out/arguing over the pieces each wants.

When my Dad wsold his condo DD2 took his dine rm set. It originally belonged to my maternal grandmother. At this point that is also a true antique or within 5 years of being one.
