 "Furniture & Meat" was written and storyboarded by Cole Sanchez and Andy Ristaino. It was adapted from a story by Kent Osborne, Jack Pendarvis, Adam Muto, and series creator Pendleton Ward. Like most episodes of the season, the episode was produced in approximately nine months. Muto, Osborne and Pendarvis crafted a two-page outline, which was then sent to Sanchez and Ristaino for storyboarding in the course of two weeks (Sanchez and Ristaino are one out of four main storyboarding teams for the series). The final storyboard was drafted on December 17, 2013. Stamped with the production code "1025-171", the storyboard was then sent back to Osborne, for any final feedback, and to the network, for any final notes. The network approved it three weeks later.
