Furniture can be purchased from Robin at the Carpenter's Shop or from the Traveling Cart merchant. Both shops offer a random selection of furniture each day they are open. The cost of furniture at the Traveling Cart is random, but is always between data-sort-value="furniture"250–2,500g. Prices at the Carpenter's Shop do not vary.
Some furniture can be obtained only by donating items to the Museum, purchased at Festivals, the Casino, JojaMart, or other unique sources. These exceptions are listed in the tables below.
After the first Farmhouse upgrade, Robin also offers the Furniture Catalogue for sale at the Carpenter's Shop. Once placed, "using" the furniture catalogue allows you to purchase furniture items for data-sort-value="0">0g in unlimited quantity.
There is a small chance of finding random furniture items when engaging in various tasks, such as slaying monsters, breaking open crates, shaking or chopping trees, tilling Artifact Spots, or panning.
Most furniture can be placed outside.[1] However, some items cannot be placed anywhere other than inside the Farmhouse or a Shed. Furniture will display a green square on tiles where it can be placed. The tile will turn red if the furniture cannot be placed.
Furniture cannot be sold through the Shipping Bin or to any merchant/shop, and cannot be gifted to villagers.
