This container can hold up to 42 items in an 6 by 7 grid.
Appearance
The appearance of the Cabinet is dictated by the metal used.
Limitations
Сan be lifted even when full. However, they cannot be placed inside a vehicle such as a boat or cart unless empty.
Hearthlings cannot hide inside metal cabinet.
Subjective analysis
In addition to limitation above, Metal Cabinet takes a whopping 15 times the amount of metal required for a Wooden Chest while only providing 6 more slots. Only build these for cosmetic purposes, such as the "fridge" aesthetic.
Counter-argument: Metal Cabinets can be made near-instantly from metal bars. Making chests requires additional steps of smelting them into nuggets and acquiring boards.
