Furniture to be depreciated is entered in the assets/depreciation section.
Just my two cents, but overall, you may find this more of a PITA than it's worth. When depreciating furniture, every time you get rid of a piece for any reason, or acquire a new piece, the tracking of it all has the potential to become a nightmare. You'll also find that depreciating such a low cost item has little to no impact on your tax liability. (More commonly, no impact at all) until the year you sell or dispose of the property. That's when you feel it - and usually not in a positive way.
Remember, depreciation is not a permanent deduction. You have have to recapture that depreciation and pay taxes on it, in the tax year you dispose of the property. Additionally, the recaptured depreciation is added to your AGI and can have the potential to bump you into the next higher tax bracket. So what you may think you are saving now, you *will* pay for 2 or more times over in the future.
