Storage Chests Come in Many Styles for Different Uses
One of the oldest forms of furniture used for storage purposes, the chest is a rectangular form with four sides closed like a box and a lid that can be lifted. The ancient use of this storage chest was to store valuables like jewelry, clothes, or weapons, and it was also used like a treasury.
Sometimes the chest had a set of drawers which could be drawn out to keep valuables such as money, and it was referred to as the chest of drawers. Most of the storage chests were made of maple or walnut wood for strength and durability.
