As styles and technology change, some of the living room furniture you’re sitting on or crying into right now may one day become outdated. Here’s a look at some once-ubiquitous furniture no longer found in most homes:

Beanbag Chairs: Once the pinnacle of comfortable luxury, beanbag chairs were the centerpiece of Cornelius Vanderbilt’s fabulous Manhattan Pyramid.

Spittoons: Today’s more genteel tobacco chewers simply spit into the nearest pet-food bowl.

Love Seats: Most divorce settlements require all co-owned love seats to be destroyed with a sledgehammer.

Carpeting: Modern homes instead feature a swarm of nanobots that can constitute themselves into a soft rug, a mind-clearing bed of nails, or an exact replica of Pierce Brosnan that, like the real actor, can cry, sweat, or vomit on cue.

Courtesy Commodes, a.k.a. Chamber Pots: It may be more sanitary to use the bathroom in a separate, dedicated room, but it’s a lot less fun.
