Roll-top desks are inconveniently short for monitors, and inconveniently small for most piecework/quilting/etcetera. Are old china sets dishwasher safe? Microwave safe? I'd assume people do a lot less formal entertaining these days, and if they do, outside of a holiday, they're probably more likely to go out to eat, and have games or movies at home along with appetizers. Outside of a non-wired cabin there's not much reason for an oil lamp. Modern LED lamps can last as long as oil lamps, and the storage space for the batteries is probably smaller than for the equivalent amount of oil. Plus there are no mantles to replace. Eventually the LED will die, but it would probably take years before that happens unless there's a defect or accident. In the rentals I've been in, closet organizers have allowed more space than armoires, and also allow the clothes to breathe. Some people still buy bulk salt and pepper, but the smaller canisters sold at stores that most people buy come with built in shaker tops.
