Next time you stay at a mid-range or better hotel, notice the furniture. They don't but junk because in the long run it never lasts, and whose going to pay for a nice hotel room with tacky furniture?
A couple of months ago, we stayed in a newer Holiday Inn Express. The bed and cabinets were very nice and well built.
They revamp furniture more often than you might realize, because even great quality stuff looks tired and worn after awhile. Investigate and you can usually find the liquidator in your area that handles them.
Or common areas in offices / apartment buildings.
For example, the building I live in has nice couches that look like they can take a lot of traffic.
I once looked at the brand tag - Ligne Roset. It’s not cheap, but at least does seem high quality.
