Composite Softwood Bench
A composite bench built to last.
Notes
The Composite Softwood Bench is a high-tier seating object placed in an enclosed room (with at least 6 m³ free volume) that adds a housing value of 4 when used in furniture‑category decoration. Because it counts as a Chair‑type item, each duplicate placed in the same room is worth only half the housing value of the previous one, so avoid clustering multiple benches to maximize your room score. It is crafted at the Composite Lumber Bench.
