Because office furniture isn't considered equipment, these are separate categories. The difference between office equipment and office furniture is whether the specific tool uses technology in some manner. Most consider office equipment to be any machine or piece of technology needed for the job.

Office furniture can generally be classified as an office supply, which is a broad category that includes anything used for running a business, such as computers, office supplies, and furniture.

If you're a business looking to set up a professional workplace, your office would need office furniture basics such as filing cabinets, office desks, ergonomic chairs, printers, computers, and many more.

A filing cabinet (or sometimes file cabinet in American English) is a piece of office furniture for storing paper documents in file folders. In the most simple context, it is an enclosure for drawers in which items are stored.
