From sofas and sectionals to dining room tables, how often should you expect to replace your furniture with something new? Before you visit your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kittles.com\/living-room.inc\">favorite Kittle&#8217;s furniture store in Indianapolis<\/a>, read on to learn more about how long the different furniture items in your home should last before you need to shell out the cash for a replacement.<\/p>\n<h2>Dining Room Furniture<\/h2>\n<p>With holidays, family meals, and casual chats, it\u2019s no surprise that you may need to replace your furniture in the dining room more often than in some other parts of your home. Most high-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kittles.com\/dining-room.inc\">dining room furniture<\/a> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kittles.com\/dining-room\/tables\/room-type.aspx\">tables<\/a> should last for several years. If you take good care of the table by covering it with a tablecloth, it can last even longer. Solid wood tables will be much more durable and long-lasting than those made of engineered wood or other lighter materials. Protect your table and clean it often to keep it looking new. As for the dining room chairs in your home, they can last for several years if they\u2019re not upholstered since there\u2019s no fabric or leather that can become worn out. However, if you notice that your chairs have a wobbly leg or feel unstable, it\u2019s definitely time to consider a replacement. Examine the furniture in this room closely to look for signs of damage since some of it can be repaired (like reupholstering your chairs).<\/p>\n<h2>Living Room Furniture<\/h2>\n<p>Since the living room is often the hub of the home, it is no secret that you may have to replace your furniture in this space every few years. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kittles.com\/living-room\/sofas\/room-type.aspx\">Sofas<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kittles.com\/living-room\/sectionals\/room-type.aspx\">sectionals<\/a> that feel worn out and are no longer comfortable likely need to be replaced. If it feels like you\u2019re \u201csinking\u201d into your sofa or that it\u2019s no longer providing you with the support you need, it\u2019s probably time to move on. Any seating like sectionals or accent chairs that have a broken frame should be replaced as soon as possible. Not only is this furniture no longer comfortable, but it\u2019s also potentially dangerous. The average sofa can last anywhere between seven and 15 years, but that\u2019s only if you purchase something high-quality and take good care of it. Don\u2019t allow your children to jump on the sofa and keep the upholstery clean to help it last longer. Creaky sounds or uneven living room furniture probably needs to be replaced ASAP.<\/p>\n<h2>Bedroom Furniture<\/h2>\n<p>A sturdy, solid bed should not need to be replaced for many, many years. However, if your bed is suddenly creaking or you notice splintered wood or other signs of visible damage, it\u2019s time to replace your furniture in this room. The last thing you want is to go to bed and end up falling to the floor when you\u2019re ready to hit the hay. Check the frame of your bed often to ensure that it\u2019s tight and in good condition. Dressers can last for many years, too, but that\u2019s only if the drawers are still opening and closing smoothly. If your dresser drawers are suddenly getting stuck or if some drawers are broken, you may want to shop for a new one. This rule also applies to dressers, cabinets, and armoires. Overall, your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kittles.com\/bedroom.inc\">bedroom furniture<\/a> should look great and also be as functional as the day you bought it.<\/p>\n<h2>Home Office Furniture<\/h2>\n<p>How long this type of furniture lasts largely depends on whether or not you use it full time. If you work from home all week long, then your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kittles.com\/home-office\/desks\/department-type.aspx\">desk<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kittles.com\/home-office\/chairs\/department-type.aspx\">chair<\/a> will probably need to be replaced sooner than if you only use them on occasion. Once your desk chair starts to feel stiff and uncomfortable, you should consider replacing it as soon as possible. Desk chairs that don\u2019t give you the support you need can result in a painful neck or back. Desks can last for a decade or more if they\u2019re made of quality materials. A wobbly desk or one with a broken drawer should be replaced but as long as it\u2019s in good condition, you can continue to use it for as long as it serves its purpose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; When it comes to products for your home, furniture is one of the biggest and most important investments you can make.
