A well-maintained Bassett custom-upholstered sofa is engineered to last anywhere from 7 to 15 years, depending heavily on household usage intensity, frame construction materials, and routine fabric care. Higher-end frame builds utilizing sturdy hardwoods and premium cushion cores tend to retain their structural integrity much longer, though heavy daily wear can eventually cause cushion softening or fabric wear that necessitates professional reupholstering or refilling.
