Sounds like you have lovely furniture. And that it will last another 100 years!

There’s a furniture store that offers ridiculous things in their ads, like no payments for 5 years, etc. We went there once and their furniture was very cheapily built - all veneers and not even good ones at that. It probably won’t even last until the first payment is due! And the store was packed with people buying like crazy during the greedy years (up until about 2 years ago when house prices came back to reasonable).

LOL Few people would call my furniture “lovely”. Just good sturdy pieces that nobody would be afraid to sit or lie on for fear of it collapsing. Most furniture here has a fond memory attached to it. I feel very fortunate to have lived my entire life within a 2 mile radius with most of my family surrounding me. As dear relatves passed on, it just seemed natural to care for some of the objects that had become precious to me.
