case furniture

"Case goods" is a term for furniture that provides interior storage, such as bureaus and bookcases. This category often includes dining room and bedroom furniture sold as sets.1

An example of case furniture is found in campaign furniture, which was designed to be portable for travel. These pieces, often made of teak with brass fittings, could be disassembled for transport. Historically, metals like bronze, iron, and steel have also been used for furniture, sometimes for structural elements and other times for ornamentation. Wood remains the most common material for furniture due to its versatility and durability.234
