A number of people are said to be planning to leave pieces of furniture as heirlooms.
Spending a little more than planned on dining room furniture may turn out to be a shrewd move if extra quality is gained as a result.
This is because, according to a number of designers, such items can prove to be the ideal heirloom.
The Telegraph notes a number of industry experts have identified dining room furniture, such as tables and chairs, as something that will last for years to come and can be passed down to later generations.
According to the newspaper, Sir Terence Conran is one of those who backs the idea, with the designer revealing he has already put aside ten items he plans to leave behind.
And interior expert Kate Crolla says people regularly ask her to find covers for items of dining room furniture that can be more than 30 years old.
Perhaps the sign of high-quality dining room furniture comes in the detail, with Marguerite Petit recently telling the Glens Falls Post attention to specific features is something that defines her best work.
