Pedestal is a decorative Building that can be configured to display up to 1 kg or 1 unit of various resources. A Pedestal with nothing on it will grant +5 Decor with a radius of 1 tile. A Pedestal with an item on it gains additional Decor depending on the item being displayed:

Gains double the item's Decor value, or +5 Decor, whichever is greater.
Gains 2 plus the item's Decor radius.

Pedestals can showcase the same items as Sweepy:

Artifacts and Keepsakes
Bammoth Patty
Boosters
Carved Lumen Quartz
Clothing
Critter eggs
Elements — Only accepts the forms that exist at 23 °C / 73.4 °F
- Solid debris
- Bottled liquid
- Bottled gas
Exosuits
Foods
Plant seeds — Except those for hanging plants

Some resources displayed on a Pedestal have altered mechanics:

Items such as Oxylite and Polluted Water will not sublimate or evaporate. Temperature-based phase transitions still occur, and cause items to be removed.
Foods will not spoil. Their Freshness remains constant until they are removed.
Critter eggs will lose Viability. Upon reaching 0%, an egg will remove itself from the Pedestal and crack, becoming Raw Egg and Egg Shell.

Tips

Building a Pedestal with Sandstone or Granite can add a 10% or 20% decor bonus respectively.
Pedestal can be useful for preserving cooking ingredients, Sleet Wheat Grain and Nosh Bean for safekeeping.
