Well, furnitures would break the point of minecraft. If you have 1 item that is meant to be a chair then all the other creative “fake” chairs you could come up with will automatically be bad next to it. Furnitures in minecraft would make the game worse BUT having more blocks like vertical slabs and other goofy shapes will allow us to make more detailed chairs. In other words we don’t need dedicated official items, we need blocks with unique apearance so minecraft’s LEGO box gets bigger and more fun. I hope we get a small easely hideable block so we can make chairs without those big ahh boats.
Just stop and wait for an update.
