Confirmation bias: all the shite furniture from 1800s has rotted to dust already
Edit for full disclosure: I've exclusively bought antique furniture. I'm basically a shill for big-auction
Sure. A lot has rotted away, but much modern furniture is designed with so much MDF and other manufactured wood products that aren't resilient in the least. Moisture will destroy them, they take gashes super easy, and are soft wood.
I'd think the furniture our grandparents had would be more likely to have been solid wood.
That's not to say there aren't solid hardwood pieces being made today. But they are extremely expensive and are competing in a space with poor regulation of descriptions and all the flat pack Chinese imported stuff thats literally 10% of the price of good furniture that will last.
Solid hardwood furniture is a luxury.
Balsa is hardwood Yew is softwood
