I was wondreing why so few people sell crated furniture? Individual pieces take up so much room in your inventory and no one for the most part use only 1 plant,1 couch, etc. Crates of the basics are so much handier. I got tired of all the room that the single items took and started buying crates- I finally have put in a huge order of crates for a Arch in my guild to make and intend to furnish all my places this way. If I am not using something a crate stores much more conviently than 5,10,15 individual pieces. I would venture a strong opinion if a architect got som visibility as one that makes crated furniture he would be very busy.

Problem is many people done know what type of furniture they are after and they be after one type of bookcase and egt another for example .Could maybe done with some Indiviadual items not for sale in your vendor so people could see what it was and some crates

I always have crated furniture on my vendor. I'll do a run of 50 chairs (for example), put about 10 loose ones on the vendor, six 5-packs, and one 10-pack. The crates sell very well.
I've had 5 and 10-packs of the master couches sell.

For one, I only crate items that people would want multiples of, ie: Sales counters and some plants.
Otherwise, most of my stuff changes in name, and is just easier to craft by hand.
There is a disadvantage to crating furniture though, since most furniture has multiples of the same name, you have to creatively name these to differentiate them if inside a crate. a crate of "Chairs" could be any... from the nice Executive leather padded chairs, to the ucky orange Vinyl ones you find in old starports of the 3010's...
Still, I only factory run special orders where its easier for the buyer to decorate with crates istead of a bag full of items.
