Slightly self-serving, but the furniture theme is pretty inconsistent. It's not the power so much as the fact that the second circle summon is better in almost every way than the third and in most cases is better than the fourth.
Although while we're here, they all have terrible AC which is kind of a downer.
Furniture should probably be pretty easy to hit, however, I agree that the theme could use some tweaking.
Yeah the second circle has INSANE DR.
I would agree that the power level jumps about hugely, I only really see L2 and 5 in use. That said, there are other themes that could use an upstat far more. Fire elementals, L2 illusion themes and Vomit Rats. The first because they suck, the other two because all cone and gaze attacks do with summons AI is hit your mates too.

Vomit rats have been so comically worthless for so long I'm not sure I'd like it if they got fixed. An endless source of quest drama, those things.

Unless you have Magic Weapon, in which case you chop them right apart. I am not quite sure this is an ideal way of balancing them, however.
