You can also make furniture out of {{L|metal}} at a {{L|Metalsmith's forge}}, but this consumes more valuable and potentially rare materials. Some furniture can only be made from certain materials. For example, {{L|bed}}s can only be made of wood. A few unusual types of furniture are made elsewhere, like {{L|mechanism}}s, {{L|siege engine}} parts and ammo, or {{L|glass}} furniture. |

Most furniture must be placed before it can be used, but a few (like {{L|bin}}s and {{L|barrel}}s) are moved around as needed by your dwarves. {{L|Bag}}s can serve either role: placing a bag turns it into a dwarf's personal storage, but bags for {{L|agriculture}}, {{L|clothing industry}} and {{L|glassmaking}} will be taken from the pool of bags that haven't been placed by the player. |
