They may have been better years ago, but not now

First one we had was still good but the material was starting to wear and Frances wanted a new couch so we bought one made by Ashley and that was a piece of junk so we sold it and bought another La-z-boy

First one we had was 17 years old and we gave it away and is still being used, the one we have now must be getting close to 10 years now, maybe longer..
