Sorry you're having so much trouble, Lori. I don't have much advice for ya. Ours aren't allowed on ANYTHING so I guess that's why I'm probably no help to you. The only furniture they're allowed on is my computer desk & the bookcase in my office which was all built by my dad and he put a million coats of poly on it. I don't think it could be scratched with anything! I can't believe that they're even scratching up your furniture with trimmed nails! That's wild. We also have matching bedroom furniture but they're not allowed in our bedroom so no problems there. They're not allowed on the dining room table, not allowed on the coffee table or any of the tables in the living room . . . our cats pretty much are confined to the floor. I know that sounds horrible, right? Ah, it could be worse.

I guess it would be hard to try to train yours to stay off of the furniture now that they're older . . . especially if they roam the house while you're gone during the day. I hope you find a solution. I know how expensive furniture is! And how upsetting it is when something happens to mess it up!
