Furniture serves many important, essential functions for people the world over.

Many people will spend more than a third of their lives in, at, or on furniture. It comes as no surprise, then, that humans have a unique relationship with this group of items they spend so much time around.

In some ways, furniture has become a reflection of personality.

Many people pass furniture items down from one generation to the next, keeping the item as a family heirloom.
