How to get the recipe for an ironwood dresser in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

To craft an ironwood dresser, you first need to obtain the recipe for this item. You won’t always be able to find them by speaking to villagers or finding one on sale in Nook’s Cranny. Instead, you need to rely on the luck of locating it in a message in a bottle.

Messages in a bottle come to your home once a day. You can find them washed up on your beach after the new day starts. When you open it, they come with a message inside of them and a random DIY recipe. Finding the ironwood dresser inside the bottle is one of the best, easiest ways to locate it. When you find it, it will require seven pieces of wood and four iron nuggets to craft.

In the Happy Home Paradise DLC, the ironwood dresser is unlocked for use in designing when doing a vacation home request for Angus, Aurora, Axel, Beardo, Boomer, Boyd, Chabwick, Chief, Curt, Gala, Merry, Miranda, Pompom, Portia, Ribbot, Spike, Sprocket, Tad, Ursala, and Vivian.
