Enthusiastic DIYers receive family heirloom rocking chair, controversially decide to refurbish it instead of continuing tradition: 'This is why everyone hates millennials'

Inheriting things from family can sometimes be a tricky business; you might be hoping that grandma bequeaths you some of her priceless jewelry collection, but instead, you get the ugly china. Of course, there are options if you receive the gift of a hand-me-down that isn't entirely to your taste. You can quietly sell or donate it, or in the case of something like furniture, you can even give it a makeover.

This is exactly what one young couple caused controversy with after they were given an old rocking chair. Generations of their family had covered the seat with new fabric after they received it, but they decided to do something different and completely refurbish it. While some people saw the logic in this, others were aghast that they would choose to break with tradition in such a way. If their deceased relatives start haunting them, we know what caused it.
