Despite receiving countless updates over the years, one of the most frequent problems plaguingStardew Valleyare its frustrating decoration systems. As if lining up paintings and rugs wasn’t bad enough, oneStardewplayer discovered yet another furniture inconsistency that is one of the hardest to defend yet.
While decorating their living room, Reddit usersuwampertdiscovered that the sun table is larger than the accompanying moon table by a single row of pixels.

Stardew Valley Still Has A Major Decoration Problem
Despite Plenty Of Updates, Furniture In Stardew Is Still A Nightmare
Compared to the more relaxing gameplay ofStardew Valley’s farming and fishing aspects,decorating your house inStardew Valleyis easily one of its most frustrating aspects by far. DespiteStardew’s sizeable selection of furniture after years of updates, Reddit users likeVividEffective8539point out that"most of it is either ugly, or it is an item with no matching items that fit in regards to total squares taken up." Even if these problems won’t affect every user equally, it’s still one ofStardew Valley’s longest remaining complaints, understandably causing farmers toembrace their ugly farmsrather than meticulously decorating.
While some mods have made great strides in fixingStardewValley’s decoration system with precise furniture placement orways to expand the townto offset the issues,there’s only so much that can be accomplished without altering the base game itself. Even if there’s some enjoyment to be found in overcomingStardew Valley’slimited decoration systems, it still falls flat compared to the heights the rest ofStardew’s gameplayeasily manages to reach.
