Interestingly the couches are the sturdiest things I own. Exceptionally high quality ones that I imagine are well outside what I would have budgeted, but they came with the house.
My plan with the IKEA tat is to upgrade pieces gradually as they reach end of life.
The first upgrade will be the Billy shelving unit in my ensuite which no longer has any reliable cross bracing. The particle board swells with steam from the shower and I’ve moved it a few times to get to junction boxes beneath the floor so all the screws have loosened.

I like the idea of futons. Keep the good wood, replace the fabric that wears out.
