Chests are sturdy, box-like containers used for storage. They can be made from various materials, including wood, metal, or plastic. Chests often have a lid that opens from the top, making it easy to access the items inside. They are commonly used to store clothes, toys, or valuables. In history, chests were often used by travelers to carry personal belongings. Some chests, like treasure chests, are associated with pirates and contain valuable items such as gold and jewels. Today, decorative chests can also serve as furniture, adding style to a room while providing extra storage space.
