 Types of containers the game knows are '''chests''', '''coffers''', '''boxes''', '''cabinets''', '''bags''', '''[[barrel]]s''', '''[[large pot]]s''' and '''[[bin]]s'''. Only chests, coffers, bags, and boxes are explicitly called "container" in game as they can be placed as [[furniture]] by {{key|b}}uilding (any of these 4 container types can be used to satisfy the "Needs: X Chests" requirement for nobles). All containers are used to hold items, from personal possessions to [[gem]]s, [[alcohol]], [[quarry bush]] leaves, and even living [[creature]]s, but their use is context-sensitive, so you cannot use your barrels for storing [[coin]]s, but you ''can'' {{key|b}}uild a bag as a dwarf's personal container, analogous to a chest.
