Short Basic Wood Shelf
Shelves so reliable, even your plants will stop judging you.
Notes
The Short Basic Wood Shelf is a wall-mounted decoration that adds 0.5 housing value to a room, making it a simple early-game furniture option for improving your housing score. It requires an enclosed room with at least 4 m³ of free volume to place, and because shelves of the same type suffer diminishing returns (each repeat is worth half the previous), you get the most value from placing just one or two different shelf types in a room rather than many identical ones.
