If you purchased furniture for a business then yes you can claim the cost of furniture.
If the furniture was for personal use and you are taking an itemized deduction instead of the standard deduction you could add in the cost of the sales tax on the purchase of the furniture to the sales tax deduction, however, the actual cost of the furniture is NOT deductible.
