hard goods
Non-consumable retail items
Hard goods are durable products expected to last for years—appliances, furniture, electronics, tools.
The term contrasts with soft goods (textiles, clothing) and consumables.
Retailers use the distinction for inventory and department organization: The hard goods section includes refrigerators and lawn mowers.
