Furniture does not stand up to time!

I remember walking into Fanny's and marvelling at all the wonderfully crafted, expensive wood furniture and believing they would last years if well cared for. Not true! I bought two bedroom end tables and an entertainment unit. I am a middle age professional living a quiet independent life. There is no excuse or reason explaining the defective nature of the Fanny's furniture purchased. One of the end tables and the entertainment have areas where two planks of wood are separating. Touch up is not effective.
