I still think the furniture will be a simple mathematical ratio. Keeping track of both the total number of items and the ratio of items. I've been noticing since this waiting started that the rate of appearance of certain items has been changing over time. Without a record of all the numbers over time, I can't write an actual equation, but I can tell that either tables have been on a slowly increaseing rate or benches are on a decreacing rate. Lamps have remained somewhat constant rate. The racks is easily an increasing rate. Since I know nothing of code, I don't know how TNT did it, but this is obviously a matrix of differential equations for those of us with advanced math skills.
I'm sorry if this eats up too much room and seems off topic, but this is my theory on the furniture rates and on our wait time. Elric and others like her are right to use math based theories. Without a function to work with, it is very hard to predict when this will end. I think it will be when no more benches will be made. I also think this will end when all numbers are in an easy to see (or derive) ratio, with all numbers being even.
Wow! I've had too much math.
I'm all for the math!
My old post (part of it):

Stand lamps: 35
Scroll racks: 153
Benches: 11
Tables: 5
Taking the current figures:
153 racks / 35 lamps = 4.37 racks per lamp
153 racks / 11 benches = 13.9 racks per bench
153 racks / 5 tables = 30.6 racks per table
Using 8 minutes per rack, that gives us:
Racks = 8 minutes
Lamps = 35 minutes
Benches = 111 minutes
Tables = 245 minutes
Keeping in mind that the new method doesn't take into account that they may be partially finished with an item. ie. There may actually be 5 1/2 tables complete, and that would change the number of minutes to around 223.
Current figures:

Stand lamps: 180
Scroll racks: 782
Benches: 56
Tables: 29
With the newer figures:
782 racks / 35 lamps = 4.34 racks per lamp
782 racks / 56 benches = 13.96 racks per bench
782 racks / 29 tables = 29.97 racks per table
I don't see much difference in the ratios at all, at least not so much difference that it couldn't be explained by the presumption that there may actually be 29.25 tables complete, etc.
It appears to me that there will be several "rooms" and each "room" will contain about 30 scroll racks, a table, two benches and 6 or 7 lamps.
Am I not looking at something right?
Has the time to make a rack changed?
