I got on the '225 when it was at Farnborough in 1990(?)
The flight deck 'furniture' consisted of two permanent seats for the pilots plus an old armchair at the FE station! In the main hold, there was an ancient dining room table with about 6 assorted chairs around it; I won't say what was on the table but they were all empty, and the aircraft didn't fly that day.
The handlers at an earlier Farnborough show managed to break the An124's towbar by turning it through about 150 deg!
