Furnitu At first, I was luke warm on this one, until I looked up
the dictionary definition of the word. Here it is:

1. the movable articles, as tables, chairs, desks or cabinets,
required for use or ornament in a house, office, or the like.
2. fittings, apparatus, or necessary accessories for something.
3. equipment for streets and other public areas, as lighting
standards, signs, benches, or litter bins.



Yes the word has wider meanings than common usage suggests, particularly in
specialised contexts. For example; locks, hinges, fastenings, stops,
peep-holes etc are called 'door furniture' in the trade.

I will see what I can do.

Exactly, and that's why I think it's a good mandate. Lots of variety
there.
