Is "Airbnb for office furniture. Companies with unused desks, chairs, and equipment list them on our platform. Other companies rent them short-term for remote offsites, pop-up offices, or overflow seating. Peer-to-peer B2B equipment sharing." a good business idea?

TERRIBLE
Verdict
You've discovered why WeWork exists. Unfortunately you've also discovered why WeWork nearly went bankrupt.
Logistics Eat Marketplaces Alive
Furniture is heavy, hard to transport, easy to damage, and annoying to photograph. Your CAC will be high and your NPS will be lower.
The Demand Window Is Narrow
The only companies that need short-term furniture are companies in chaos. Chaotic companies are bad customers.
Some Potential Here Though
B2B marketplace mechanics are real. If you narrow to one vertical (startup offsite equipment, event seating) you might find a wedge. But "Airbnb for all furniture" is not a business.
Hall of Shame
