That's why I liked my chocolate brown sectional sofa, circa 1975 ... the damn thing was virtually indestructable, and lived through all kinds of dogs, cats, children, parties of all kinds ...

Last year we finally retired my Dad's sectional he bought in 1980
It was huge and it was the focal point of his "bachelor pad" for many years. It was larger and more comfortable than a king bed! The funny thing was that out of around 12 pieces, my Dad only sat on 1, so only that one showed any signs of "smush". If someone could have found room to store it, we would have. It was da bomb
Another good furniture story - my mother has all her furniture hand made and she babies it. You walk into her house and swear everything's brand new. When my son was teething, we looked over and he was sitting there scraping his upper and lower teeth across one of her coffee tables
She said at that point she realized the "true meaning of Grandmotherly love meant that she didn't kill him". That was 19 years ago and those scratches are STILL there and are STILL the only scratches she has on any of her furniture.
