That sleek black coffee table from Ikea looks great when it's new, but the slightest scratch glares in a very unflattering way. A solid wood table, on the other hand, looks all the more beautiful when it starts to wear and scratch. So when I look for furniture, I look based on how an item will look after ten years of wear rather than how nice it looks while it's new.
