Furniture refers to movable objects intended to support various human activities such as seating (e.g., chairs, stools, and sofas), eating (tables), and sleeping (e.g., 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 (e.g., 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.

It 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.

A desk or bureau is a piece of furniture with a flat table-style work surface used in a school, office, home or the like for academic, professional or domestic activities such as reading, writing, or using equipment such as a computer.

Desks often have one or more drawers, compartments, or pigeonholes to store items such as office supplies and papers.

Desks are usually made of wood or metal, although materials such as tempered glass are sometimes seen.

A tool is any physical item that can be used to achieve a goal, especially if the item is not consumed in the process.

Tool use by humans dates back millions of years, and other animals are also known to employ simple tools.

A filing cabinet (or sometimes file cabinet in American English) is a piece of office furniture usually used to store paper documents in file folders.

In the most simple context, it is an enclosure for drawers in which items are stored.

The two most common forms of filing cabinets are vertical files and lateral files.

A vertical file cabinet has drawers that extend from the short side (typically 15 inches) of the cabinet.

A lateral file cabinet has drawers that extend from the long side (various lengths) of the cabinet.

These are also called side filers in Great Britain.

There are also shelf files, which go on shelves.

In the United States, file cabinets are usually built to accommodate 8.5 × 11 paper, and in other countries, filing cabinets are often designed to hold other sizes of paper, such as A4 paper.
