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.

To build a door from scratch:

  1. Go to your Mason's workshop and press q then "add task".
  2. Select "Build rock door".
  3. Wait for a dwarf to carve the door from some stone. (You need at least one dwarf with the Masonry labor enabled.) It'll be stored in your furniture stockpile when it's finished.
  4. Once the door has been constructed, then go to the space you want to build the door and press "build".
  5. Select "door".
  6. Move the cursor to precisely where you want the door to be, and press Enter.
  7. Select which particular preconstructed door to put there, and press Enter.
  8. Wait for a dwarf (with the Furniture Hauling labor enabled) to come and put the door where you want it.

To build a bed from scratch:

  1. Go to your Carpenter's workshop and press q then "add task".
  2. Select "Construct wooden bed".
  3. Wait for a dwarf to build the bed from some wood. (You need at least one dwarf with the Carpentry labor enabled. You will also need some wood logs.) It'll be stored in your furniture stockpile when it's finished.
  4. Once the bed has been constructed, then go to the space you want to place the bed and press "build".
  5. Select "bed".
  6. Move the cursor to precisely where you want the bed to be, and press Enter.
  7. Select which particular preconstructed bed to put there, and press Enter.
  8. Wait for a dwarf (with the Furniture Hauling labor enabled) to come and put the bed where you want it.
