KNow what I think? I think some times it is best not to buy the best or most expensive, or even the best quality. I have a SIL that buys nice looking but not expensive furniture, and she changes it about every 5 years. So her home is always clean, fresh and stylish looking. She donates the old stuff and gets a tax break. Hubs and I bought good quality, and I am so sick of looking at it 40+ years later!! But it is still too nice to replace because of wanting a change. We could, but it just seems silly.
