The most blunt definition is "anything that goes on a furniture pile". Elaborating from that, furniture is something that |

For completeness, and to further complicate matters, there are also a few items that are made from the furniture submenu of the [[metalsmith's forge]], but don't go in a furniture stockpile: | For completeness, and to further complicate matters, there are also a few items that are made from the furniture submenu of the [[metalsmith's forge]], but don't go in a furniture stockpile: | ||

Furniture can be created at a variety of [[workshop]]s. All furniture has a practical use in your fortress, though it is sometimes limited to looking nice (like [[statue]]s). Dwarves get good [[thoughts]] when admiring high-[[quality]] furniture. | Furniture can be created at a variety of [[workshop]]s.

You can also make furniture out of [[metal]] at a [[Metalsmith's forge]], but this consumes more valuable and potentially rare materials. Some furniture can only be made from certain materials. For example, [[bed]]s can only be made of [[wood]]. A few unusual types of furniture are made elsewhere, like [[mechanism]]s, [[traction bench]]es, [[siege engine]] parts and [[ammo]], or [[glass]] furniture. |

Most furniture must be placed before it can be used, but a few (like [[bin]]s and [[barrel]]s) are moved around as needed by your dwarves. [[Bag]]s can serve either role: placing a bag turns it into a dwarf's personal storage, but bags for [[agriculture]], [[clothing industry]] and [[glassmaking]] will be taken from the pool of bags that haven't been placed by the player. |

Usually, brand-new items are not immediately available because some dwarf has expressed the intent of carrying them to their corresponding [[stockpile]]. |
