furniture damage

Nicks and gouges

Furniture damage is harm to furniture—scratches, dents, stains, tears, or structural breaks.

The phrase appears most often in rental agreements, insurance claims, and moving contracts, where liability for such damage must be assigned: The security deposit covers any furniture damage.

We filed a claim for furniture damage after the flood.
