There are certain pieces of furniture where it makes sense to invest into a life long piece. A sofa is not one.

Yep, I've always felt this way, too. Everyone I know goes for life long lasting pieces because "furniture is something you spend money on". But have you ever seen a house where they clearly haven't changed the furniture/decor since 1999?
It looks ancient in terms of style, regardless of how great the quality is. I'm more of a "get something that looks nice and modern in decent quality and expect that your tastes and trends will change within ten years".
You'll replace it to look modern before you replace it for quality decline, unless you're shopping at JYSK.
