The answer

If a man divorces his wife before consummation, she is entitled to half of the stipulated sadaq (dowry), based on the Almighty's saying: "And if you divorce them before you have touched them, and you have already specified for them an obligation, then [give them] half of what you specified." If no sadaq was specified for her, then she is entitled to mut'ah (a compensatory gift), based on the Almighty's saying: "So provide for them and release them with a gracious release." As for the furniture list, it belongs to the husband if he brought it and it was not included in the mahr (dowry). However, if it was part of the sadaq, then she is entitled to half of it.
