Furniture refers to movable objects intended to support various human activities such as seating (chairs, stools, and sofas), eating (tables), and sleeping (beds). Furniture is also used to hold objects at a convenient height for work (as horizontal surfaces above the ground, such as tables and desks), or to store things (cupboards and shelves). 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.
