Is it safe to put furniture in front of an electrical outlet?

Or would that be a fire hazard?

    If the outlet has cords plugged into it that the furniture is touching because it is up against them then no it isn't safe.

    If one of those cords overheats or sparks it could cause a fire

    Why would that be a fire hazard????  No, there is nothing unsafe about that.

    The outlet is low to allow furniture to be in front of it.
