Without taking into account items that require either hybrid flowers or a high amount of gold nuggets, this is the highest selling item on Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It gives a lot of points when the Happy Home Academy is reviewing your house and it follows an expensive/living room theme. It looks better when placed on the inside, but it would give a great look outside a jock villager’s house, the same personality type that can give you its DIY recipe. It sells at Nook’s Cranny for an insanely high price of 33,630 bells. It takes 24 pieces of hardwood, 6 iron nuggets and 3 gold nuggets to craft.
