I recently sold a polished wood dinning setting to a young couple, it had been in daily use for just under forty years
The young couple who bought it wanted to know why I was selling an almost new piece of furniture ? IE was there something wrong with it

They couldn't believe it was forty years old and were overwhelmed with their luck

You buy reasonable good quality and care for it as something you own and love, so it gets to 40 years old and is still a beautiful piece of furniture

Many younger people want the green grass over the fence in the false belief that it will somehow make their life better and also most don't value money or beauty/quality

This is true and it's why we have kept and looked after inherited furniture from the 19th century such as a set of Austrian bentwood chairs, which did require some restoration. And an old farmhouse kitchen table, now our dining table. Three oak sideboards and more.
And old china, not suitable for a dishwasher of course, but absolutely beautiful.
