How do I deconstruct multiple pieces of furniture at once?
I made a big dining hall and found out its not optimal to have 2 chairs to 1 table and having to click each individual chair and table to then click the deconstruct button the other side of the screen is annoying

Click the pickaxe icon as if you wanted to mine something, then from the extra buttons that appear select the icon that looks like a stair with a "no entry" sign on it, use that to designate what you want deconstructed.

In my opinion, they should change the stair icon of the deconstruct button to a house, as shown when we remove buildings individually.

This doesn't work for furniture, just constructions (walls, floors, ramps, etc.). Currently, there is no way to mass-remove furniture.

That would be very confusing, as that button (the stairs one) does not remove furniture.

Hammer to the wall and stair icon maybe? Just anything that look like deconstruct. Then Instead of X with house are now hammer to the chair icon If mass deconstruct going to be added. Suggestion here

That's true... Forgot about that. There has to be a way to combine the three different "removal" buttons (The eraser, the stairs with the red-circle, and the house with the red-circle)

You still have to deconstruct it first, you can't bring an installed piece of furniture directly to a trade depot.
