My bedroom furniture is a combination of two sets of furniture. Both sets look OK, but one has been moved so frequently that I wouldn’t dream of donating it without doing repairs and touch-ups.

How about furniture that refuses to go? I’m currently sitting at a desk that was purchased at K-mart around 1994 or so. Amazingly, the wood blends in fairly well with my living room furniture, and the style of the desk doesn’t scream “old home office”. I’ve had to secure a piece of trim with screws, but otherwise it has held up very nicely. It also has decent storage space.
