How long does it take pressure-treated wood to rot?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-it-takes-wood-to-rot.htm">How long it takes wood to rot</a> can range from as little as a few weeks in poor conditions to as long as 40 years if properly maintained. Protecting pressure-treated wood against moisture is the best way to prevent rot—wood exposed to water for extended periods of time is more prone to rot. Wood used outdoors on decks and porches is more likely to rot due to the elements, so re-seal pressure-treated wood every two to three years to maximize protection.</p></div>

I was calling all furniture stores in my area trying to find all wood bedroom furniture. The lady who answered the phone was very pleasant and answered my questions. We did not go to the store because we found what we wanted at another store before we got to this one.
