Furniture (probably from the French 'fournir' — to provide) is the mass noun for the movable objects ('mobile' in Latin languages) intended to support various human activities such as seating and sleeping in beds, to hold objects at a convenient height for work using horizontal surfaces above the ground, or to store things. Storage furniture often makes use of doors, drawers, shelves and locks to contain, organize or secure smaller objects such as clothes, tools, books, and household goods. (See List of furniture types.)

Furniture can be a product of design and is considered a form of decorative art. In addition to furniture's functional role, it can serve a symbolic or religious purpose. Domestic furniture works to create, in conjunction with furnishings such as clocks and lighting, comfortable and convenient interior spaces. Furniture can be made from many materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. Furniture can be made using a variety of woodworking joints which often reflect the local culture.

How should I go about getting furniture for a move to New York? Nice and cheap furniture stores in NY?
Q. I'm moving to New York in October and trying to figure out the best and cheapest way for me to get new furniture. I live in Tennessee, and there are a lot of nice and large-chain furniture stores down here that I can get good deals with. However, transporting and moving furniture might be a problem and getting it delivered up there is not an option. Are there a lot of nice and cheap furniture stores in New York or in surrounding areas?

What is the best way to store furniture in a storage unit?
Q. I will be moving to TX soon and my wooden furniture will not be able to fit in my apartment. I don't know how long I will be there, but I am planning on having my items stored in a non-climatized storage unit. I am most worried about my antique wood pieces that will not fit in my apartment. How can I help keep moisture levels down in my unit? Are there battery opperated dehumidifiers? What is the best way to store my wooden furniture? Any suggestions to help eliminate the musty unit smells? How can I keep my furniture from smelling gross? Any suggestions in general about storing furniture? Thank you!

A. Of course it is best to store in a climate controlled unit, but if you can't you should cover the antiques with a soft cover. I would scatter dryer softener sheets liberally to control the musty smells. The dryer sheets will also repel rodents. When you finally remove the items, make sure you stabilize the pieces in your home for a few months keeping them at a constant relative humidity before using or sitting on them. Remember these antiques have lasted lots of years in adverse conditions. They will survive for a little while in storage. I do not know of any battery operated dehumidifiers.

What colored furniture would go good with the ugly brown carpet you see in apartments and cheap duplexes?
Q. My boyfriend and I are finally moving into our first place on our own. It's a great little duplex, and the only thing I don't like about it is the ugly brown carpet that all of the cheap apartments and duplexes have. The dark brown. The walls and everything are painted white. What colored furniture should we start looking for? I want it to look CLEAN, but it seems like it's going to be hard with such dirty, ugly carpet...

A. Go for an aqua blue color with white and tan accents. Use light colored wood like teak; no darker than oak.
