Luxury wood furniture
Yes that luxury wood furniture looks good but after watching my new neighbours move in and struggling to offload heavy beds and other stuff, I'm so glad that I only had to carry cane furniture up the stairs to E1, E2 and E3. It appears I'm the only person in our street that doesn't have a luxury car also. Maybe I'm living in the wrong neighbourhood .

Re: Luxury wood furniture
My bed is made of that stuff and it's heavy as hell even when dismantled. Years ago I had a landlady who dumped this huge platform in my front room. It was about the size of a pool table and quite useless except for once when a monk relative came to visit. The fucking thing was almost impossible to move but I managed to shove it far from the TV area. I don't really like watching TV cross-legged anyway. The landlady couldn't understand why I didn't really want this beautiful furniture but she was mental anyway.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Perfect furniture for rough bars, nobody ever had one of these broken over their head.

Re: Luxury wood furniture
Those things look mighty uncomfortable...albeit they will never wear out and you can keep a lifetime...unless the termites get to it

Re: Luxury wood furniture
I think it can be assumed that this type of heavy ornate furniture was/is viewed as an investment of sorts that could be handed down through a number of generations as a durable somewhat useful heirloom that would potentially increase in value with age. As Yobbo points out, stealing it is quite difficult but at the same time, if hard times arrive for the family, a buyer willing to take it off their hands could probably be easily found.
In the long run, it may be better than buying precious metals, hoarding cash, jewellery, etc. Also, it's a kind of conspicuous consumption, especially those pieces inlaid with mother-of-pearl.
What they should probably add is a nice grandfather clock:

I may be going to hell in a bucket,
but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

I tried moving one of these last year with the small toe on my right foot.

As well as an elegant display of grandeur & status.
