It was not just $30K for a dinning set. It was also $160K for "lounge furniture."
"The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (Hud) has agreed to spend $165,000 on “lounge furniture” for its Washington headquarters, in addition to a $31,000 dining set purchased for housing secretary Ben Carson’s office."

Funniest part of all of this is that when Carson was named head of HUD he was criticized for not knowing anything about housing. his response was that he did not have to know anything about house. Instead all he had to do was properly manage the people below him who did. Now he claims he has no idea what the people below him are doing.
Also when he was called before congres to discuss cutting the HUD budget he refused to answer questions about specific amount because he "didn't want to open the books and look at the numbers".
Carson is not stupid. He is doing all of this intentionally. He is too smart to blame this all on being ignorant about what is going on in his department.
