I guess basic furniture too. tables and chairs and stuff, there's variety in, but it's almost all artistic variety rather than "making a better table/chair"

@Felthry That's complicated by the way that good ergonomics varies by individual, so a table/chair/combination thereof which is perfect for one person's daily use will give another an RSI in short order.
