Hewn Softwood Bench
A basic wooden bench.
Notes
The Hewn Softwood Bench is a tier-0 housing object that provides a small housing value of 1.5 from the Seating category. As a Chair-type furniture, placing multiple benches in the same room yields diminishing returns โ each additional bench is worth only half the value of the previous one. For the best housing score to boost your skill-point gain, place one bench per room and consider upgrading to higher-tier chairs later.
