No, it is not normal and you may **** the seller off depending on how you ask and what your offer on the house is. We were selling for $220k, offer was for $207k, I threw in the washer & dryer thinking if I gave it then they wouldn't nickle & dime on the inspection...
If you do ask for the furniture, say something to the effect of, we really loved the table, it looks so good in the home, would you consider throwing it in or selling it? If they say no, ask where they bought it.

We go to Raymour. We've bought a sofa, table, end table & recently my daughters bedroom furniture. If you look online, the colors aren't correct. I ended up looking her set up before it came so I could print it out and add to her file but didn't even recognize it. The color was lighter online then it really is. Raymour seems to be a mid priced place.
