Preferred label	Furniture, mirrors, picture frames; goods (not included in other classes) of wood, cork, reed, cane, wicker, horn, bone, ivory, whalebone, shell, amber, mother-of-pearl, meerschaum and substitutes for all these materials, or of plastics
Definition	Furniture for general use is in Class 20 regardless of material composition. Specialized use furniture is in the classes of their uses, such as, laboratory furniture in Class 9 and dentists' armchairs in Class 10. The list of materials in the Class Heading controls the inclusion in this class of items that are classified by material composition, such as, statuettes and figurines. Class 20 is a class for non-metal goods that often have a counterpart in Class 6 when those goods are made of metal. For example, the metal containers that are not for domestic use are in Class 6, while the non-metal containers that are also not for domestic use are in Class 20. There are containers in Class 21, but these are limited by the Class Heading to those that are for domestic or kitchen use. Many hardware items of plastic are in Class 20, their equivalent of metal being in Class 6. It should be noted, however, that hardware related to curtains is classified in Class 20 regardless of its material composition. Also non textile curtains, such as, bamboo or bead curtains, as well as window blinds or shades for interiors are in Class 20 because they are considered as furnishings.
