I define AmE as American English and BrE as British English.

a closet [in the US, a closet is built-into the walls and is not a separate piece of furniture)

credenza Bookshelves CD & DVD Towers

Chair on wheels = office chair

Solid-Wood Writing Desk

hope chest (for brides only) - perhaps, a steamer trunk, or a storage chest

Scanner- Furnishings:- Clamp binders (paper clips, spring clips)

Super. Everything in its place. Keep this exercise for insurance purposes.:)

I think all of my comments have been covered above. My only real comments are: (1) it's probably more typical to call it a "Stereo" and (2) we often say "Desktop computer".

For Capitalization, you can choose any style you want for this type of list (i.e. Capitalize first letter of each item), but then be consistent throughout. [Ok, I realize this is a petty and silly comment and you probably weren't thinking about style here]
