Furniture is anything on which people sit, sleep, or eats. So when the early cave man slept on a wolf skin on the floor that was his furniture. When he made a crude box in which to keep his bone tools, he made the first chest.
The first records we have of furniture as we think of it today come from, the Egyptians. At least 4,000 years ago, they were using chairs, tables, stools, and chests. Some of the chairs had high backs and arms, decorated with carved animals' heads. Others were simple square stools with crossed legs which folded together like camp chairs. Egyptian beds were only a framework, often very low. The Egyptians did not use pillows. They used head-rests of wood and ivory.
The Babylonians and Assyrians also had elaborate furniture. Kings and queens rested on high couches with footstools, or sat in high-backed chairs while they ate from high stands and tables.
