A liseuse can last a long time, as long as it is made out of good quality wood and you take care of the springs (though I suppose metal or plastic could be used). I'm sure there are still some liseuses around from the 18th century.
Oh, you were not talking about reading desks? Ok.
In that case, the average lifespan of a liseuse is about 84.23 years in France (assuming that avid readership has no effect on life expectancy, this varies by country, ymmv). However, you do risk your liseuse leaving you. So you should always take precaution and love your liseuse right. Occasional flowers are helpful.
So, love your liseuse and she may never leave you.

A periodic rub down with Tongue Oil or other sort of clean 'n feed oil helps keep you liseuse from cracking and drying out as well. Beeswax is not always good because of potential yellowing over time.
I find if your treat you wife, errrr, liseuse like your dawg she will never leave you.
EDIT: D'oh!! I neglected any leather involved with use of your liseuse...proper care is needed to keep it supple yet toned...I find a good saddle soap best...Neatsfoot Oil done properly will help restore mositures as well, but too much and it could become a tad oily...
