If I get tired of something or realize that it really isn't my style, my tastes have changed, it doesn't fit with the majority of things I have, I usually give it away, sometime sell it, sometimes donate it to charity. Furniture in good condition, even if it is a bit dated, is always useful to someone. Sometimes if it isn't a pricey item I can refresh it with a coat of paint.
I also will move items around the house and re-purpose it. A dresser may work in the dining room as a sideboard to store silver and linens, a dining chair can go in a guest room as a place to lay the day's clothing. A trunk of the right size can be a TV stand, end table or coffee table.
When i buy furniture I like to think of it as a lifetime investment. I prefer to buy better quality stuff although i have been known to rescue and renovate tired things from time to time. I'm not big on buying furniture from retail stores unless it's casual upholstery or mattresses. There are plenty of great pieces, much better constructed, in the antique shops and used furniture stores if you know where to look. I also think it is wasteful to buy new cheap furniture only to toss it after a few years - not environmentally friendly either. Buying good classic stuff to start with is more economical than constantly replacing cheap stuff.

i buy new furniture whenever the old furniture starts looking old and used, or whenever i get sick of looking at it, or if i find a good deal at a thrift store i buy it and donate the old stuff. if you get rid of furniture that is still useable then you should donate it to good will or a local thrift store. the only thing that would make me keep furniture is if it is a heirloom or just something that i really like.

I buy new furniture when I need it. I keep my old things until they break, and I make sure to make a big scene at wherever I got them if they break sooner than I expect.
