Clicky Poll - Couch?

[heelibrarian]

Gosh, I think ours must be almost 10 years old now, but it's leather, and the cats have beat it to hell. It's still ticking. I don't think we'll get a new one till the kids go to college!

5 years old, bought it when we got married. Still holding up great.

The couch that we sit on most often (in our main floor family room) is about 3-4 years old. We bought it in our old house and it was never, ever used because we would usually hang out in the basement family room. Because of this I am really disappointed with the quality and how it's held up. The cushions keep ripping at the seams. At this point I want a new couch, but that almost seems silly with a toddler and another baby on the way, so I may find a nice slipcover for it in the meantime and replace it in a few years once we are less likely to have juice spills and markers coloured on it.

I could only pick one option, so here's our other couches. The house we bought last year was left fully furnished. We knew the previous owners so it wasn't totally strange. We kept what we liked, sold what we didn't. The furniture in our basement right now is there's, mainly because we moved in the winter and there was no way our leather sectional was making its way down the stairwell. We could have swapped them out this past summer (through the walkout basement door) but, to be totally honest, those old reclining couches are soooo comfortable!

It's about 7 years old. It sinks in weird ways but I doubt we'll replace it any time soon. It took a friend braking our click by sitting in it for us to buy a new one (it was a hand me down couch and I hated it)

The couch in our family room is about 7 years old. We also have an old couch in our formal living room that we had reupholstered. The couch belonged to my DH's great-grandmother, so it is very old, but like new.

It will be 10 years this December. We bought it right after we finished the house renovation. It's still comfy but the kids have definitely done some damage to it. Our plan is to replace it in about 5-6 years. We hope the kids will be able to better understand how to take care of things then. No way would I buy a new one now!

[ordinaryme]

Hand-me-down from a family friend. No idea how old it is. It works for us. We will buy new when we buy a house hopefully in a few years.

Our main couch is almost 5 years old. It's so comfy and I love it, but it's small so we'll probably need to get a new one if/when we ever move.

[doodletwins]

We bought our couch when we got married, so 5.5 years old. It is SO comfortable and we love it. But we've now realized it's not the most attractive. We won't get a new one until we move into a bigger house. This one will go into the basement/play area and we'll replace it for the family room.

I said less than 1 but after reading the comments i realize its probably more like close to 2. We got it right before J came home. Times flies!

[peachey]

I know exactly how old it is because when I met DH 9 years ago he had just ordered it.

I want a new couch but this one is (p)leather and holding up well and so easy to clean drool and milk off of that I won't bother until it falls apart or we get past the milk drool satge.

[lioness13]

We bought our couch when we moved into our house 6 years and 11 months ago. I don't think that's close to antique. I still love my couch. I give it another 5-6 years before we toss it.

We got ours a few months before LO was born because e needed to turn the guest room into a nursery so we wanted a pull out couch. Prior to that we were using a 25 yo hand me down.

[vasc]

Brand new last August.

[musicalsilver]

2-5 sounds about right. I don't remember when exactly we got it, but it's probably on the older end of that time range. It's a queen size sleeper sofa, and it's so very comfy.

Our other couches (a loveseat and a sofa that we don't really use anymore) are 7ish years old. We're replacing them when funds allow. Between drunk friends and spiteful cats, they've been put through a lot.

[subliminalrabbit]

Just under 2 years old. We bought it with my bonus in the late winter before E arrived -- along with all of the nursery furniture!

[sctiger]

Our loving room couch is about 4 years old and our sun room couch is a little over a year old.

[colieann31]

We'll have had ours 3 years this June. It was our first big purchase together. And we both love this couch so much. It's so damn comfortable. I lived on it for half my pregnancy.

[stargazer763]

Our couch is a POS. We bought it around 2006, and it's been a POS since then. DH wants to just leave it in the dumpster when we move.

Plus, the amount of spit up and milk on it is impressive. That's probably what's holding it together. (And don't turn two of the cushions over, because our nephew peed all over them.)

We be klassy.

[ciahanna]

We got ours when we first moved in together,got our dog and DH was in the police academy. So 7ish years ago. It's OK but I'd like to replace it when we finally build our house.

[dmlk413]

We got our couches in June. Our old ones were nasty and our dog and DD had been pretty hard on them.

[phishgirl]

Ours is from 2004? I got it when I got my first apartment (alone) and when DH and I moved in together it came with me. It's held up surprisingly well. Minus the small stain where my water broke on it
