Online shoppers can save as much as 50% on a variety of deals from laptops, printers, digital cameras, to software, and office furnitures.

Is furnitures the plural form of "furniture"?

I wonder if the word "furniture" can be used as a plural noun.

http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/furniture
furniture [uncountable]
large objects such as chairs, tables, beds, and cupboards:
- I helped him choose the furniture for his house.
- I can't think of a singlepiece of furniturein my house that I bought new.
- office furniture

NO! funiture is considered as plural not singular. Furniture is actually a category which contains these things (chairs, tables, beds, and cupboards etc) The word "furnitures" used in your above sentence is wrong; it should be "furniture"
