I mean it looks good, but how do you know it lasts for life (related to this sub) if it's brand new?

It’s a known brand on this subreddit, look it up

Edit: not trying to come off as rude, skepticism makes this subreddit higher quality

Yes, known to the subreddit…for being a used product that has stood the test of time. This post is clearly a brag attempt. The American dollar is also known to the subreddit, but we don’t post our paychecks. This subreddit is not to share what you just got, it’s to share what you haven’t needed to replace.

I’m Norwegian, I can confirm they’re BIFL. They’re super common here.

My dad has one from the 80s and it’s still good. Mine are all 20 ish years old at this point. I’d trust it more than any American designed chairs/couches

I, for one, appreciate these kind of posts. Not very useful if everyone is just showing off their 50yr old things which are long out of production and impossible to find.

the sales guy I talked to said "you take care of this, you'll have it for 20+ years, minimum" and having seen them in person & shopped for them for a while now, I agree

I'll take "things sales guys will tell you when selling you a luxury item" please

of course it comes with the usual grain of salt but, eBay versions of these that date back into the 80’s / 90’s and still looking pretty good tell me its not as much bullshit as one might think

Sales guy said "x" is evidence of nothing since their motivation is to get a sale.

I bought my Stressless after seeing one at a party. Found the owner and it was 28 years old, and outside of the leather having patina from use looked like it could have been bought recently. I sat in it and the springs and cushion were all in great shape.
