Absolutely no one in 2070 will find 2020 furniture and appliances holding up after 50 years.
That's a true statement, I have my grandmas flight jacket from WWII, it's absolutely beautiful.

Tom, I beg to differ. It's still possible to get furniture that will last decades. You may need to reupholster them, but good quality can still be bought. Certainly not at IKEA, though. There is a Norwegian brand called Stressless that will last for generations, but they cost a small fortune. Still worth it.

Hessy,
I don't know about that: I have IKEA shelves that date back to the late 1980ies and are still in use (and moved through 3 countries and across one ocean). I'd say it greatly depends on the type of furniture and how it is treated.

At some point the mixer, pic 3, might need brushes. You can still get them, tho you might have to put your mind to it. The bushings are probably good for a darn long time. I don't think I'd want to pay to replace them. But someone who loves this type of equipment might put the work in. With light service the bushing should last a long, long time.

I still use an old plasma 65 inch TV that my grandad bought in 1955. It still works perfectly and I use it with the original DVD player he purchased in 1959. Quality lasts a lifetime......

When I buy new clothes nowadays and find something great looking I always get sad cause I know that 3 months from now it will probably look like I got it from a dumpster somewhere, just from wearing it, even if you handwash everything.
I see clothes fabric (even expensive items) damage just from hanging in the store.

#8 Those sad unlined denim jackets were what the less well off kids wore to school and I can remember seeing those suckers freeze in those things. Even the lined ones weren't much better. I hated the denim craze and it was everywhere even fanny packs. Yeah that was a good look ha ha.

got a 2nd hand alarmclock/radio in my 20's.
No idea how old it was when I got it.
I'm 45 and it still gets me up every morning
