broken furniture
Chairs needing repair
Broken furniture refers to chairs, tables, beds, and other household furnishings that are damaged or no longer functional—a leg snapped off, a frame cracked, upholstery torn beyond repair.
The phrase often appears in contexts of moving, disposal, or insurance claims: The curb was piled with broken furniture.
It can suggest neglect, poverty, or abandonment: The apartment was empty except for some broken furniture.
