wooden chest

Timber storage container

A wooden chest is a sturdy box made of wood, typically with a hinged lid, used for storage.

Chests have historically held clothing, linens, blankets, or valuables: She kept her grandmother's quilts in an old wooden chest.

The term evokes antique or rustic furniture—hope chests, treasure chests, toy chests.

In games and fantasy settings, wooden chests often contain loot or rewards.
