Overlooked Build/Buy objects We're still Missing

After transitioning to playing Sims 4 on console (PS4), I've found that life without cc isn't all that bad. However, every time I'm building or remodelling my sim's homes, I still find myself sweating over the lack of a handful of simple Objects, and variations not yet added.
Now, with so much of the community discussing our hopes for larger, more popular object and feature requests, I often wonder if some of these rudimentary, yet sorely missed objects might end up forgotten.

A few overlooked objects that top my list would be...

An Upright Piano:
It's fantastic that we have a keyboard and pipe organ that are separate instruments from the piano (keyboard shares piano skill though), but why, after all these years, do we still only have huge grand pianos as our only acoustic piano option. I'd be satisfied if the devs simply separated the saloon piano that's baked into the Get Famous western movie set, gave it normal piano functionality, and released it in a patch.
Although at this point, I'd probably buy a whole pack, even if the piano was the only interesting thing in it.

A Normal, Traditional Ceiling Fan:
We have a palm leaf fan, and a modern/industrial fan (the latter of which I use all the time), but what about a older, four-bladed retro ceiling fan.
Simply googling "1970's ceiling fan" should provide plenty of ideas.

A retro TV, and tabletop Vintage Radio:
Our electronics selection is lacking in diversity. A cheap or vintage tube TV, in more than just black, grey and white swatches would be a welcome addition to the current television selection. As would a 1950's style table radio, or even an antique Gramophone.

If anyone else is reminded of other non-gameplay, seldom requested, simple objects that seem obvious, but are still absent In The Sims 4, Share them here. (No gameplay or new feature ideas, there are plenty of threads discussing that already ;) )
