My bed frame is a little over a year old. I had the same old one, in fact the entire bedroom suite since the year after I got married.... the first time ! LOL I had it since 1976, the complete set and since it was wood it held up all these years through 2 marriages and 20 years on my own ! They don't make them like they use too. It was dark brown wood though and I wanted a very light bedroom before I died....LOL... So it is fairly prissy now. I'd say we got our money's worth out of the old one. I still use the dresser, but hope to replace it one day when I find something I want..... something lighter colored of course.
