Enclosure (3) to COMDTINST 11103.1B
The table above shows the average life expectancy of certain furnishings. "Tropical" as used in
the table denotes locations in which the yearly average rainfall exceeds 75 inches.
The same discretion given to appliances should also be given to furnishings. Repair costs are
limited to within 75% of replacement cost, and replacement should not be considered unless the
furnishing has reached its useful life expectancy or has been damaged beyond repair (>75%).
When practicable, furniture may be reupholstered to match current styles, but replacement
options must meet the above criteria.
