I’d estimate that about 3/4 of the furniture in my home is hand me downs or family pieces. Plus all the stuff I’m holding onto from my teenage years and earlier (books, mugs, hats, game systems and games).

There’s a decent age gap between my wife and her older siblings. They’re established with kids just finishing college, and we had just built our first (and so far only) house, so when her parents passed most of their furniture went to us.
