Short Basic Hardwood Shelf
Shelves so reliable, even your plants will stop judging you.
Notes
The Short Basic Hardwood Shelf is a tier-0 wall-mounted decoration worth 0.5 housing value each. It can be placed in any enclosed room meeting the minimum free volume requirement to improve your housing score, but because it is a Shelves-type item each additional copy in the same room is only worth half as much as the last. Use these to fill out small wall spaces for a modest early-game housing bonus, but diversify your furniture types rather than filling a room with identical shelves.
