Chests can be left in many different places in Stardew Valley. However, if a chest is left on a walking pathway for a [[Villagers|villager]] it will disappear, and its contents dropped.

Chests can be left in many different places in Stardew Valley. However, if a chest is left on a walking pathway for a [[Villagers|villager]], it will be pushed out of their way.

An empty chest can be picked up and returned to inventory by hitting it with any tool, or hitting repeatedly with an empty hand. Chests with any items inside cannot be picked up until emptied; however if a filled chest is hit repeatedly with just an empty hand, it will be pushed one tile away from the player (note that tools will not work for pushing). If that tile is not valid for item placement, the chest can jump to the nearest acceptable tile, such as behind the player, to a diagonally adjacent tile, or over other items to a valid one.

Chests can be acquired without [[crafting]] by:

**Similarly, a chest can be acquired by placing crafted items inside the submarine or the mermaid boat during the night market. The chest will appear on the beach when the night market ends. Placed furniture will not yield a chest and will instead stay inside the structure and can be retrieved during the next night market.

*Placing [[Furniture]] or crafted items in a spouse's room and then divorcing them. A chest will appear the day after the divorce, containing the items.

*Placing crafted items inside the submarine or the mermaid boat during the [[Night Market]]. A chest containing the items will appear on the beach when the Night Market ends. ([[Furniture]] will not yield a chest and will instead stay inside the structure and can be retrieved during the next Night Market.)

*Demolishing a [[Cabin]] in [[Multiplayer]]. A chest containing the farmhand's inventory will replace the cabin.
