The 80s were loaded with 70s, even some 60s, furniture that wasn't worn out because it was made of real wood. Them we toted that crap off to college in the 90s.

In the 2000s our basement furniture was all 70s furniture that looked basically new but was very out of style.

My 3 year old couch cushions are sagging and the stuffing leaks out. Modern couches are priced as luxuries with quality worse than IKEA.

Nowadays if you move a piece of furniture more than twice, the whole fucking thing falls apart. Sure, they do sell well made furniture still, but each piece costs a month or more of your income.

the sectional my parents purchased when i was a toddler featured prominently in my living for years after i graduated college.

it costed as much as a new car and clearly worth it.

it somehow got more comfy with age.
