Furniture

A long rough scrape of a heavy sofa on floorboards, for moving day, rearranging a room or barricading a door.

Short harsh judders of table legs on a hard floor, for pushing a table aside, a scuffle or clearing space fast.

A tall door creaking open and shutting with a hollow thud, for a bedroom search, a hiding place or getting dressed.

Three hollow mallet knocks on wooden dowels, for building a new bookcase, moving in or a DIY tutorial.

A wooden frame creaking and springs squeaking as weight shifts, for a restless night, a sickbed or a sneaky exit.

One deep thud and rattling drawers, for the last heavy piece going down, a furniture move or a dramatic landing.
