Category:Furniture

Furniture is a specific type of item. Only furniture can be placed within real estate to become part of the room description there. The properties of an item of furniture are maintained when it is placed, thus providing highly prized storage for still more items. Other functions of furniture include mirrors, light sources, and even sources of fresh water. Less functional properties of furniture include decorative themes and random thematic messages also known as spam.

Furniture with capacity

The exact capacity for furniture can be found by filling it with small items (such as pieces of paper) until no more can be put in, and for the weight capacity, putting heavy things with a known weight in it (studded leather jackets work well for this, but anything heavy that has been weighed on a balance is fine) until no more can be put in, then attempting to put progressively lighter things in until it's completely full--being sure to stay under the item limit--and then adding up the total weights. An approximation of furniture's capacity, however, can be gotten with appraise. Precise capacities should be bolded^[1], and capacities from appraise shouldn't be.

Due to code change, only objects whose dimensions fit within the dimensions of the furniture can now be stored inside it.

Warning: be advised that furniture that says it has several compartments like the ebony writing bureau that has three drawers might only fit smaller objects, presumably one third of the size in this case, even while some items like some clothing seem to fit small containers despite their size.

Chatty furniture

Some items of furniture give off periodic item chats.
