Nope, last I heard they don't even use cabinets but I could be wrong. They do get happy thoughts from checking chests (coffers) and all the furniture in their room will make it nicer for them which also makes them happier, of course, but most people would rather make a nice communal dining room to make them happy because nobles will get madly jealous of 'lessers' owning nice rooms.

they just need a bed, and some people don't even do THAT. I, personally, give them a coffer, a cabinet, and two rock statues, one on each side of the door, in my latest fort :)

I usually give them a bed, and if i'm feeling up to it, a chest so that they can store their items and not clutter up the fort. Other than that, nothing else for a regular room.

You are.   ;)

I just checked my dorfs and they're using the cabinets for their spare clothing (mainly XXclothesXX at that  ::)) and the coffers for other finished goods, such as bracelets, amulets, etc.

My basic cell is a 2x2 room containing bed, cabinet & coffer. 

Nobles get a 2x3 room with bed, cabinet, coffer, floodgate & lever.  Hehe.  Unless, of course, they're nice, well-behaved knobs that I don't mind keeping around - in which case I'll cater to their more sensible whims.
