The answer

Basic student desks often clear as homeschool equipment; premium office chairs and furniture read as household goods and get flagged. Modest and student-sized is the pattern that passes.

Gray-zone items are where families lose money: the same purchase gets approved for one parent and denied for another based on framing and documentation. Check it against your exact situation before spending.

Rules change and details matter. Run a desk or chair through the free checker with your program selected for the current answer, or get every purchase pre-checked and every receipt turned into a submission-ready packet.
