40d:Furniture

Furniture refers to a variety of different items created at a variety of workshops. All furniture has a practical use in your fortress.

When starting a fortress most furniture will usually be made in your Mason's workshop or Carpenter's workshop. Beds can only be created at the carpenter's workshop.

Furniture is produced at a workshop through its q menu.

The function build is not only used for building walls and the like but also for placing items like beds, tables and chairs in your fortress. An building (producing) order requires the queue command, selecting a workshop, and selecting add task. Most furniture must be placed before it can be used.

When you try to build a bed/door/chair and it says 'needs bed/door/chair', that means none is available from a stockpile, not that there is a problem with producing one.
