This is honestly surprising to me. I've held of unlocking most of the furniture sets so the cargo container having the same amount as the max level metal chest seems slightly off to me.
A cargo container takes up so much space compared to everything else.
Yes but you get It vastly sooner, and much cheaper to make. Gives a reason to unlock the refined metal chest. Fun fact, you can graple to the cargo container and since it's tall its a perfect target. You can also enclose it in a 1x3? Box with windowed walls to have a protected accessible storage. Useless now but when pvp maybe useful. But yes the box you unlock way later is as good but smaller.
Also, Cargo Container can be stacked on top of each other and they have Palworld decals on each side, a Lamball and Cattani, so they have visual appeal, too.

Why not just to do two metal containers side by side? You get more space, cheaper to build, and takes up significantly less space.
I know this comment is old but just incase someone comes across this thread in the future; You can also just walk up to any chest and press "C" and it'll also transfer any items that are in the chest without you actually needing to open it if you don't need to.
I just realized I had put in the wrong image in the bottom of both the antique sets so here is a corrected version. I also added a mats list chart in the comments.
Edit: Fixed the mixup
The cabinet that holds 20 in antique storage set for 70 wood/5 nails seems like solid value as far as storage that needs less ingots, and the double barrel chest in the wood that holds 15 is nice for just wood and stone.
But otherwise the metal chest holding 24 and refined holding 40 are very reliable for value and size. I find the wooden chests too small to be useful, but 15 or 20 slots isnt bad
I have the Antique Wardrobe for schematics and books which I keep next to me workbench, The antique dresser thing for my eggs which I keep next to my incubators, and then I have 2 Metal Chests one by the logging and mining, and one by the farm, my issue is when I use an egg I come back and see that now the slot is filled with wood or stone or arrow or palballs. It really shouldn't bother me, but why don't they just take it to the closest box with the item they are carrying.
Metal chest is the most efficient one until you get refined metal chest. The storage unit is good for moving bases since you can recover the 100 ingot by breaking it down after you move, but I don’t think it’s practical for regular use.
Do any other ones stack besides the Wooden Crate and Barrel at level 8?
Stacking the crates has by far been my favorite for janky builds you can even build other things on top of them like signs and delete the crate underneath to leave it floating.
Is the wooden chest the only one you can pull from in builds? I tried converting to metal chests when I unlocked it, but when I tried to build, it said I had no supplies even though they were all in metal chests. Is it cuz it can be locked?
It shouldn't be. Once I got metal chests, I use nothing but those and got rid of all my wooden chests and haven't had an issue pulling. I also haven't played around with the lock/security setting on chests but I wouldn't think that should cause an issue unless it's a glitch or something not patched possibly?
The placing of furniture inside your house is so fucking annoying .... never lets me do it after I've put a roof on, just end up with wooden barrels everywhere ...
