Furniture?

Is it worth putting together a few templates of standard full-size furniture items, as a guide for the baseboard design stage? For example, the layout I'm designing at the moment needs to be of sufficient height and leg spacing that a number of IKEA Kallax storage units can be placed underneath, in the 4-wide / 2-tall formation. Note this demonstrates the top Kallax unit is clear of the operator (while the drawers are closed), and also clear of the path needed to access the duck-under area at the top-right. Similarly, the left unit is entirely under the board.

Other than the IKEA Kallax, maybe the Billy bookshelf and a generic bed, chair and desk from their range, what other objects would be worth prioritising? At this stage I only want to model internationally-available furniture items, so I don't know if, say, the Officeworks range is worth modelling?

Nice! This will help to get a sense of scale.

Officeworks is Australian?

We have customers around the world, and many in Australia. So it might help some people.

Of course IKEA is available around the globe.

OK, I've just about finished the Kallax range for uploading (not counting the optional frames). I'm categorising them as "unspecified" for now, though in future a new Furniture, Objects or Other category could be worth considering? Is that something that can be updated later, without impacting peoples' files that use the "unspecified" category?
