Top of the stairs
Me and my sister used to share bunkbeds in my room when we were around 12-13 even though she had her own room. So I wake up in the middle of the night, sweating, jittery, heart racing from what must of been a nightmare. The house is completely silent, it was a new build in the middle of summer so no groaning and creaking of floorboards, just silence and my heart pounding.
So I get up go to the toilet, come back and realise my sister isn't in the bottom bunk, so I go and check that she's in her room....no sign of her....check my mum and dads bed.....cant see her in bed with them.
So I tootle my little self back to my bed room and as I pass the top of the stairs I look down. All I can see is (what in my little mind appeared to be) a white face with a black hooded cloak around it. I thought it was my sister (no idea why she would be wearing a hooded cloak). "beth, what you doing down there", nothing, "beth get up stairs now" nothing again, just my heart pounding and this orb thing moving up and down just a little bit.
I must of been there a good 20minutes, pretty sure it was Beth, but not so sure that I'd go down and find out.

Turns out it was the freaking white painted knowle post at the bottom of the stairs, the hooded black clock was my school coat, the movement was my heart beating so fast from being scared to death it was making my eyes wobble and in turn making me think the "thing" was moving. Beth turned out to be snuggled up between my mum and dad the whole time!

Length? About 15 feet from top of the stairs to bottom.

your furniture-based nemesis ain't that dissimilar to mine, other than for the fact I didn't even have the excuse of being a nipper...

dude I've got many many more of furniture based evil, will post another one tomorrow. quick summary of it though is you know when you you're just dozing in bed and you often get that falling feeling going on. it was like that but instead of falling, i had the sensation of someone, of quite some size sitting or crawling on to the bed, even though i was home alone and no animals in the room.

20 minutes???!!
Now that is brave.

Me? I think 10 seconds would be a nice limit.
