My childhood included my mother owning furniture that was decorative, but that we were not allowed to use.
Some was just because children are messy, but some was because the furniture was just old and couldn’t handle abuse from people sitting too hard or putting stress on unexpected angles.
That’s what this makes me think of
Leverage was/is a pretty ridiculous show sometimes (it’s basically just Ocean’s Five as a series), but I still enjoyed it far more than Dexter
