FWIW IKEA has a lot of solid wood (often pine) options that do last a very long time. My favourite thing is that they degrade gracefully. You get scuffs and dents rather than peeling laminate and engineered wood shavings falling out.

My wife and I bought a kitchen worktable from Ikea almost 10 years ago. It is made entirely out of pine and is actually pretty nice. The surface was getting very well used, as I had it in the garage for a workbench for a little while. I took the power planer to it and put some tung oil on it, it looks brand new.
