Chairs and tables
Furniture is the movable objects that make a space usable—chairs, tables, beds, desks, sofas.
The word covers both functional items and decorative pieces: We need to buy furniture for the new apartment.
To be part of the furniture is to be so familiar or longstanding as to go unnoticed: He's been here so long he's part of the furniture.
