The early furniture was understandably very primitive and entirely utilitarian but gradually the appearance of furniture also began to have more importance and it became decorated. The furnishings of wealthy households became more refined and unified in style. The ancient Greeks and Romans had stools, three-legged footstools, easy- chairs, and forms of chaise lounge.
There were tables with one to four legs card tables and folding tables and also beds, plus large and small cabinets and chests. In Egypt these were made of different types of wood, leather, string, palm fronds, and reed. Luxury furniture was often decorated with glass and majolica with fittings of precious metal.
